As shocking as the apartment massacre was...


...I kind of feel Mathilda's dad got what was coming to him. The guy was a scumbag drug dealer. Society's probably better off.

NO pity for any of them, except the 4-year-old brother.

The father, stepmother and older (half) sister are all portrayed as scumbags, and you're not supposed to feel anything except mild amusement and a kind of perverse satisfaction as they get blown away. This is because they're presented to us from Mathilda's POV, and that's exactly how she felt about them.

I think the girl also stole some drugs herself to sell it to anyone in her school and i'm sure she thought some stolen bags weren't gonna be a big deal and since her family dont pay any attention to her they wont acknowledge what shes doing when she's not at home

"DNA cops". Hilarious!

Who we are is not important. What matters is our plan.

So if the brother WASN'T killed, then we are meant to assume that the entire family deserved it and that Mathilda herself will NOT be sad about it?

The greatest trick the Devil has ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist!
