So what happened to the daughter? Spoiler
We supposed to use our gruesome imagination?
Yes I think so. Likely tortured like the campers, and certainly killed.

The gesture is that she was apparently raped and killed.
It made no sense given that she was a fairly effectual hunter, yet her flight or fight response turned to "freeze" once she saw her mother being choked to death.
The writer/director decided to turn her retarded, even though earlier in the film we saw how her flight or fight response was "fight", not "flight", after her dad told her to go home and she thought she heard the wolf trailing/tracking her. Her response was panic, but then she quickly started running (which I thought was stupid at first) but it was to get out of the clearing and behind a large rock so she could get a line of sight throughout the clearing behind her.
I realized that she was pretty smart and followed her dad's instructions well. That was something they consistently showed throughout the movie up until the ridiculously stupid ending. She was keen, wary of Lou, and was a light sleeper (she heard her father gathering equipment to hunt the wolf early in the wee morning and she also heard Lou after he was crawling around from freeing himself from the animal trap).
Yet when her mom was trying to wake her, she was somehow in a super deep sleep, and wouldn't wake up all during the mother's calls and all during the first half of the mother's fight with Lou.
When she does wake up she just stands in the doorway and screams for Lou to stop... like WTF? She didn't bother to help, didn't bother to grab her .22 and didn't bother to attack Lou. Heck, after Lou choked the mother unconscious she just let Lou rape and kill her. Lou had no scratch marks, no bruises, and no visible signs of damage.
It was one of the biggest character betrayals by a screenwriter that I've ever seen.
No, the movie was just being realistic. That's how women are. You can train them to a certain extent, but sooner or later their nature will come to the surface.
shareThat would be fine if the movie maintained that consistency.
The daughter was shown to be a light sleeper, usually apt to wake up at the slightest noise (hence why she accompanied Joe out to hunt the wolf when he got up early in the morning and she heard him out in the shed). She also heard Lou when he got caught in the trap.
Yet when the mother was trying to wake her up to get her out of the cabin she magically became Sleeping Beauty.
The movie's inconsistency was the issue that made the nature of the events implausibly frustrating.
I don’t know… the daughter’s consistency was there in my opinion. She froze up on her way through the forest when she became scared. Seeing her Mother attacked was beyond frightening. Not many can perform well under pressure. Martial artists who train for decades lose street fights when the pressure is not what they’re used to. What did Iron Mike say? Everyone has a plan until they get hit in the mouth. Something like that.
The optimist in me wanted to see the girl give an Arnold line and blow the side of his head off with the shotgun from over the fireplace. But the realist in me reluctantly appreciated that the child was helpless in this situation.
When the mother opens the door , she probably sees the daughter naked and bloody.
