Well I feel if they were going to be sacrificed anyway regardless, then they didn't need to give them stupidity to hasten their fates. In fact, not giving them the stupidity would make you feel more empathy for them, but by making the characters stupid, especially them not wanting to leave, you don't really.
I understand that the protagonist is in a bad emotional state, but they do not give her anything to work with other than the crying. She has no goal, or arc really. She's just an empty character I thought. Plus her boyfriend seemed drugged into doing the sex, and he didn't seem to be all there and new all of what he was doing, until later on through the sex, where the drugs wore off and he realizes what has happened, and he freaks out and runs.
Now if the genders this were reversed and a female character was drugged into having sex, and her boyfriend burned her to death as her punishment, audiences would react very differently. So it feels like a double standard.
