What the f*uck was up with the boy at the end?

The old man says to him that he has a magic spell on him and the kid just stood there. Was he hypnotized? That was so weak to just have him passively standing there while the old man rubbed s h i t on his face and ranted about being a seer. The f*ucking kid had the opportunity to run away, but no, he just stood there like an idiot. Again, was he hypnotized and that's why couldn't/wouldn't move? If so, that's pretty stupid. Stupid movie. I'm done with M. Night Shamaladingdong. I gave him another chance with this one and he disappointed once again.

I totally get that both kids face their fears and through that they survive, the boy being a germaphobe and tolerates getting s h i t smeared on his face and the girl not liking to look at herself in the mirror but looks at the bedroom mirror and gets smashed against it by the old lady and kills the old lady with one the broken pieces. Yeah, thanks, Shamaladingdong, didn't see that coming. S h i t t y movie.

My take on it is that he froze with fear. Like the story he told earlier about when he played pee wee football and froze when the bigger RB came at him. Hence why he starts shouting American Football terms when he eventually snaps.

This is actually quite typical of Shamalan movies. in fact, those scenes were straight out of Signs. recall in Signs the little girl who couldn't tolerate the taste of water and left half full glasses all over the house, and her brother who had asthma. It left Viewers pondering the point of these seemingly meaningless details mattered and until they came into play at the end

He froze like he did at the ball game. This time however, he broke free and tackled the guy. Similarly his sister finally looked in the mirror, to get the glass to stab the old lady. Typical M. Night lol.

Jesus. You're overthinking this Hitchcockean thriller. I thought it was really well done. The kids reacted like actual human beings, unlike so many of M. Night's other recent characters. I mean, the boy was petrified with fear. You really have no idea how to read body language if you couldn't figure that out.

Get off your soapbox while I play you a tune on the tiniest violin.
