Bringing problems on yourself

First off, the film is not terrible. The characters and the story are more-or-less believable, and there's some decent acting in spite of the low budget. A lot of the story is driven by what one might reasonably call 'stupid horror film decisions' - but none of them are so obviously stupid that the characters couldn't have reasonably done them. The production crew made the most of their limited budget, in my view. However, despite how believable the crack whore protagonist is, I couldn't get past what I saw as the writer's attempt to create a "look how tough she is, to survive all this!" subtext. Frankly, nearly all of her problems are the result of dumb shit she does.
