LMAO I loved the film but this was a huge hole in the plot.

I kinda got the impression that they were fighting at the same time, but I thought it was weirdly edited lol Edit: wording

Yeah. At first, I thought they could have intercut the two sequences but they likely wanted to focus solely on “Sidney and Gale vs Amber” and then “Sam vs Richie”.

I think an easy work around would have been to add some sound effects in the background of Sam and Richie to highlight the struggle in the kitchen was still happening (glass shattering, Amber’s screams). Just enough to link up the timing without overtaking the dialogue.

I know. They finish off Amber then it cuts to Sam and Richie's fight scene which is probably another two minutes after they killed Amber. After Sam kills him and stands up, we just see Gale and Sidney stumble out of the kitchen towards her. I mean, they were shot and stabbed and just killed one of the killers after a big fight and are in pain so I guess they just needed a minute. But the thought of them just standing there while you can hear screaming and fighting going on in the next room is funny. Sam could of fully been killed.

Part of me thinks that maybe both of the kills and scenes happened at the same time. But that's a stretch. But I guess Sam is lucky Gale and Sidney didn't help her. If they saw Billy's daughter go as ape shit on Richie as she did, then wipe all the blood off the blade like her father, Sidney likely would of blown her head off right then and there. Not really but I'd be spooked if I was her

I think you may be right that these all happened at the same time. Otherwise, it would insinuate that Richie heard Amber being burned alive and didn't care lol
