Especially when you realize the truth of what happened to Simon. I seriously started tearing up. The end scene with the husband in the kids' room was a nice touch, though.
Elphaba lives!
I only saw it once. Entertaining with some twists including the ending but I honestly couldn't tell if the husband had seen "something" in that last scene. Need to rematch the movie....
shareThe moment Laura dropped the empty blanket is when I started tearing up. I was genuinely happy that she had found Simon, but when it turned dark and that blanket dropped.....I knew what was next, and the tears began to fall.
A laugh can be a very powerful thing. Why, sometimes in life, it's the only weapon we have.
I cried on and off throughout. The first time was when we see the file on Simon (forgive my lack of accent), which says he is HIV positive, then I cried again when he got so upset with Laura, calling her a liar (I just hurt for her), and then I cried when he asked about Santa, and then for pretty much the last ten minutes I sobbed.
shareWow, what to say? This is probably my most favourite Spanish horror movie.
I sobbed my heart out when I first watched it (I still cry every time I watch it though).
Okay, so the tears started she finds Simon and he's all wrapped up in that blanket (but this is what she sees, the realisation hasn't hit her yet). I cry because he's so damn cute! Aaah, seriously.
Then suddenly, she turns to look at the Simon again and he's just a dead body. My heart literally (okay, not literally) stopped at this point. I was like, "What? No. No. No. No..."
Then the flashbacks happened. Those damn flashbacks! The blocking of the secret door, the banging sound made by Simon because he wanted to get out, the sounds of Simon falling down the stairs...
I was bawling my eyes out. I literally had at least 6 pieces of tissue paper to my eyes. I was actually sobbing so much because I never expected it. Cute little Simon! Gorgeous Simon! The sounds of him banging to get his parents attention with no avail.How terrified and alone he must have felt when he was trapped and fell! Ah, bloody hell. I'm crying again while typing this. It's so depressing.
Then the wailing sound from the mother. When she pieced together how Simon had died, how it could have been prevented if she knew...when she cradles and kisses Simon's corpse, the tears kept flowing. I was gasping with breath because I was crying so much (no joke). Then comes the scene where she overdoses on the pills and she looks at the blanket again to reveal Simon. His gorgeous face! I cried my eyes out again.
I'm glad they went that route with the story, that heart-stopping shock, the unpredictable ending...THIS is what a horror movie should be like. It's a nearly perfect movie.
Thanks for letting me finally vent my emotions out. I'm so glad I wasn't the only one to cry my eyes out in depression over Simon. :'(

Good, I'm glad it wasn't just me then.....can't remember the last time a movie made me tear up, but this just did
I'm just waitin for a mate
Very nearly, very nearly :) it depends on my frame of mind, if I was feeling any more sensitive when I watched it, then yes I would've cried. But there was definitely a lump in my throat, x
