Solidrariol Am I Missing Something?

Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation

Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Sarita Rafferty There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

Valtresca I guess I found this movie premise interesting because I am a man and have know idea what women go through emotionally and physically during the whole birthing process so post partum depression or psychosis is a mystery to me.I gave it only a 9 because there were some thing that were not explained thoroughly enough for my liking. One was the Diary she found and the girl in the grocery store that talked about her friend that used to live there. I know, I know they showed her open it up at the end and it was blank so it was actually her diary but I just felt it happened a little too quickly for the viewer to process.Other than that I loved the movie. I've watched it a couple of times again hoping I could find answers as to why and how psychosis occurs or develops to the point of matricide. That question is never fully answered. It could have something to do with the guilt she felt for killing her dog with rat poison. I mean she just really seemed like more of an absent minded person other than crazy/mad at times. I know that her being a lone a lot of the time also contributed to her condition and her husband was really never there for her and probably resented her for killing the family dog however accidentally.

jays_semper_fi_girl It was totally terrible; however, nothing seemed resolved. They introduced us to a hex bag placement by the babysitter. The odd realization that the girl that previously lived there wasn't where they said she was. The white mice, the crying baby doll. Why was the doll at her house to begin with? Did she bring it home from the subway? I just wanted it all to play out in the end all the missing pieces of the laid out puzzle. I saw her hurting her baby, from the beginning. A lot of what people have said makes sense to some parts but not on all the parts.I would have liked to see why things unraveled for her after she moved into that house. Did something tragic happen in the house that forced the family to move? The previous owners seemed very insistent on selling it at below cost.It's worth watching but don't expect a Hollywood ending or an ending to answer all of your curiosities. The ended was flat and expected.

Allan-28 There seems to be some confusion over this movie. It should be, as we see much of it through the eyes of a woman teetering on the edge of insanity.Some call it post-partum psychosis but she was hearing voices and 'recruiting' a baby doll long before she had the baby herself.She did not want this baby. It took attention away from her and considering she was nuts anyway ( discussing her dark thoughts only within a diary ) she was hearing crying even when there wasn't any. She made several subconscious attempts to get rid of the baby ( leaving it in the car, leaving a knife in the crib, putting a 'curse' on it, etc ) before finally finishing the job. She 'subconsciously' killed her dog, too.The old woman who was hired to help, recognized the 'curse' attempt being made on the baby and tied something to reverse it, under her crib. Earlier in the movie, a street person spit on the restaurant window she was in, as if she sensed she was evil too.I think what threw a lot of people off was the showing of the main character buying a book on curses at the end of the movie, when in reality, she likely bought it at the beginning and brought in the mice herself and everything else to carry out the 'curse'.It had to give you chills when the baby's name was FINALLY mentioned at the end ( after she got rid of it ) and we realize then that she didn't even recognize the baby's name!! A weak male lead really hurt this movie. Its too bad they did not give Shue someone to work with.I would have cut the supermarket scenes. They were not necessary and the Editor blew it there.This is a pure Hitchcock-style move. I am sorry there were no explosions for those with IQs under 50, just a solid movie for people who had enough patience to see this one pays off!

dea999 OK well, I've just seen the movie. First I expected a lot from it, it had a promising beginning, dark and creepy paranoia stuff, my favs :) But at one point, I've lost it... And since I'm totally annoyed by this ignorance of mine, can PLEASE someone explain couple of things for me? I get it that the movie was based od PPD, but how exactly does that witchcraft woman fit in? And the ending, what the hell was that?!! Last I concluded (at least I thought I was on the right track) was that she bought that witchcraft book, 'fond out' that the lady was doing some kind of black magic over her and she got lost of that baby doll.I sincerely thought that the doll was the last piece of that voodoo crap and we'll have a happy ending. But what the hell happened when she buried that doll? And what happened to her, precisely- with her memory, brain or whatever...? I'm furious and I don't get it! So please, if anyone has a good and (more or less) logical version of the possible ending, it would help a lot :) Than U!!
