What to do if you're anxious?

Warning: Spoilers
Explore that ominous looking cave. Immediately. By yourself. No way there's some wild beast in there.

What to do if you're anxious in the woods and see an unnaturally mutilated animal?

Just chill, eat your lunch. Don't go to town. That's for weaklings.

What to do if you're anxious and your boyfriend has just been killed by an alien You're no anxious no more, now you're calm, plotting your revenge. Serve it cold. Throw that guy off a cliff. It's not like he's twice your size AND murderous alien.

He can't be killed?

Keep trying. If an action doesn't get the results you've been hoping for, it's gotta work next time. I promise. Don't go to town. Don't call authorities. That's for weaklings, remember.

What to do if you find a girl with concussion and memory loss?

Chill, take her to your camp in the woods. Don't drive her to a town. She doesn't need a doctor like immediately. Whatever you do, NEVER EVER go to town.

Some people die. Oh bummer, cause later we'll learn they've travelled the world. This is important, cause who'd care about them otherwise.

But at least the killer is a comedy relief, so that's a jackpot. Double jackpot, cause now apparently he loves you! Oh, and love is the most powerful thing in the universe. No one said that ever before. EVER!

Alien invasion, you say?

No worries, your parents got divorced. This teeny tiny invasion and impending Earth destruction got nothing on you.

Aliens have superpowers and advanced technologies?

Who cares? You've got your panic attacks. (Yup, they're back now.) But worry not, you're gonna use them to your advantage. That's gonna teach them a lesson.

Invasion still happened and the alien that can't be killed REALLY can't be killed?

Whaaaat? Who would have thought so? Well, I guess you CAN go to town now.

P. S. On a more serious note, I know how real and severe panic attacks are, and I'm not trying to downplay that. This is just a commentary on how they've been used as a superpower in this movie.

Two stars for acting and that little twist in the middle, before everything turns to a joke.
