i started watching this about 45 mins in, but i'm pretty sure it was the first time Laura goes to see the women about possibly having a reading about her daughter,...well the old sis goes into her spell and starts saying "Yes! Yes! Yes!" and grabbing her breasts! wtf?

i couldn't figure out what that had to do with the husband then receiving his warning. Maybe she was saying yes to the spirit? but it certainly seemed like she was having invisible sex. sorry....
I loved it though! great old classic horror-thriller with the incomparable Donald Sutherland

Yeah, I found that part far more uncomfortable to watch than the trippy love scene. Maybe it was just that whatever she was experiencing, invoking this memory or spirit or premonition or whatever, was so overwhelmingly beautiful she just couldn't take it. Like when you see televangelists 'curing' people & they're practically rolling around on the floor? I dunno. Awkward either way.

Yeah, that was another scene that I didn't quite get.
Why was she grabbing her breasts like that?!?

it certainly seemed like she was having invisible sex

Exactly how I felt about that scene!

And they never gave the audience an explanation for that.
This is one of the reasons I mentioned in another thread that there were a lot of unfair cues that detracted from the experience of watching the film. A "flawless" film would not have left so many unresolved issues like that, for no particular reason.

A "flawless" film would not have left so many unresolved issues like that, for no particular reason.

Alternatively, a "flawless" film wouldn't explain everything pedantically and would leave room for mystery and speculation.

Why not? I love mystery and unexplained things. It is left to the spectator imagination and it is interesting.

The whole film was constructed on grief and death premonitions. I felt that the sex scene was the climax of their relationship and the last time they'd be so close physically and emotionally. It was the said scene the lady was having visions of.

Thanks, that makes perfect sense. That scene has been bothering me for years.
