the "Christmas lights machine" from the trailer


it's still fun to speculate about exactly what that was supposed to be.

anyone wanna take a stab at it?

the only somewhat plausible scenario I could imagine is that Dana had christmas lights tied around her ankle, and somehow a bunch of the lights got tangled in a wood chipper, and the machine was turned on, pulling the lights in the wood chipper and her with it. that would have been a cool death... very cinematic. it looked amazing in the trailer. I was so irritated when I found out it wasn't in the movie. I almost didn't even bother watching it. I also liked the scenes in the trailer of Dana tangled in lights and falling off of the second story of the house.. and of another woman over a frozen pool and a girl's hand reaching through the snow... though that would have made no sense seeing as she wouldn't be able to move her arm if she was frozen under the ice.

Well it wasn't even a fully constructed scene, they only filmed that little bit just to make it look interesting. I wish it was in the movie though.
