After the cabin explodes, Chad's neck is charred. His necklace is perfectly intact. After the explosion it should have at the very least stuck to his neck or melted.

User Review
Too Good to Not be Marketed Correctly
Rating: 10/10
An excellent comedy with terrific horror elements, this was a crowd-
pleaser tonight at DIFF, here in Dallas. This is what writing is all
about, old-school, when writing actually mattered, over special
effects. And there are plenty of those. It is rare that I actually
praise an American film, only because we no longer care about writing.
It's all about star power without chemistry or talent behind the
scenes, just what might make a buck. And, clearly, even clear results
do not stop "the machine" from producing utter crud. Relativity Media
has bought this gem, but apparently has refused to market it ala Bounty
Hunter. This is such a funny film that fits into Bromance, Comedy,
Horror, maybe even Indie. Did I mention there's chemistry? Talent? Yup.
All there. So, get on it, Relativity! This could be incredibly
profitable. Wish my blog had more power to get the word out there. Hope
this does the trick.
