Question: When the kidnappers leave the barn after putting Amy in the freezer, why doesn't Jeff try harder to pull the latch off the door and free his wife? If I were in his situation, I would be desperate to free her and run away so we could call police. He tries a few times to pry the bar off, but eventually gives up and runs into the house. This doesn't seem to be a very wise strategy to adopt.

Answer: It's about plotting. There would not be much of movie left if Jeff was able to easily free Amy and they then run away. This is artistic license so there can be a dramatic, exciting climax.
