The Mom (SPOILERS)


How stupid was the mother's plan? She got that poor woman killed. She was a complete idiot!

reply

Oh yes.. But that was the point. She was tormented... Would've been cool if she became evil herself just to save her son... I would've smelled some 'Omen' embers flying.. Lol

reply

I just couldn't get past her getting that woman who escaped that psycho killed. Honestly, I didn't realize that was her plan at first!! It was just so evil that I didn't catch on. Stupid, I know!!

It just really bothered me. I wasn't a huge fan of the movie before that revelation, but after it, I really didn't like it. The mother was evil like her son, and I was happy she was killed in the end.

reply

It's a horror movie. Everybody has to act like an idiot for it to make sense.

reply

Seriously. She thought to kill Margaret to get her son back? It was almost unbelievable. And then she just sat there and watched her "son" carve this woman up like a stuck pig. Yeah, she deserved to get jacked.

reply

Right?!?! Ugh . . . she was awful. I hated her, the son, and the movie. LOL!

reply

Truth on all points... I could have added a few "brain the kid" moments and we'd all be going "Fuark, that was a great ending!!"

I either like my antagonists well done and kept on, or hated to the n'th degree and sorted. This was neither.

reply

It was incredibly stupid. I had a really hard time watching this movie because of the actress playing the mother. My goodness she was absolutely awful! Her face was so unappealing and her facial expressions were the same through the whole movie. Yuck! The movie itself was alright I guess but that plan was just ridiculous.

reply

Yeah . . . . it has been a minute since I watched the movie, but I hated it. I hate the mother and the son. I couldn't root for any of them.

reply

It was a difficult watch. I don't even consider it a "Horror" movie at all. More of a psychological drama.

reply

And she gives him the pills and trusts that he'd take them after the shrink said he was a liar? No 'let me see your hand', 'open your mouth'?

reply

Mom was an idiot. When she found out what Scarka wanted, she should have first gone to Arthur Jacobson. That guy had made literally every single breakthrough in that movie up until that point - from deciphering the audio recording, to performing the hypnosis, to figuring out Scarka's identity. But no, she'd rather drive to Ohio than make a phone call to him FFS.
