The kid wasn't autistic though. She said that sometimes in children people mistake this rare type of schizophrenia for autism, which could've happened to the boy, but he wasn't autistic.
Man, I've always found him attractive. Vincent D'onofrio, too. Also the guy who played Detective Cole or whatever (I forget the actor's name, but the one who was later in "Breaking Bad").
I thought that was weird, too, especially considering Catherine actually killed a man, and Peter saved a girl's life.
First of all, thank you for not giving away any spoilers.
Secondly, is this one a scary/creepy thriller like "Midsommar" and "Hereditary", or is it more of an artsy/trippy/emotional thing? My friend and I loved those other two, but when we watched the trailer for "Beau is Afraid", it was hard to tell if it was something we'd like or not.
Damn, I had no idea, thank you!
Also, thank you for bestowing knowledge on us in a polite way, I really appreciate that.
So the idea of her being scared that he might also be a serial killer is just kind of stupid.
I definitely saw it as her being scared about him finding out. Even if he couldn't legally turn her in or anything, he could easily run away and leave her heartbroken.
The stuff with the uncles seemed a bit unnecessary. But while one was telling Sam about Carlos' parents mysteriously disappearing decades ago, and how that could've really ruined him (setting up the serial killer foundation), the audience also has to remember that Sam's parents are also dead (though I don't remember if it said what happened to them, but I assumed that Sam and her brother killed them).
I don't get why the uncles had the weird nods and smiles, but like I said, there seemed to be a lot of unnecessary red herrings with them.
Anyway, another reason that Sam was acting scared of Carlos could've been because, quite frankly, he seemed like a raging douchebag for a bit there. Clearly they both have some emotional problems they need to work on, things that the other doesn't see on the surface, because they've only known each other such a short time.
So he's not a serial killer, but he seems to have a lot of red flags in general.
And to reiterate, the brother isn't scared of Sam, or worried for Carlos. He simply doesn't want to lose his sister, because they have an unhealthy murder-y relationship that he wants to maintain 'til death parts *them*.
I know this is years late, but some of the comments are way too far off.
The bride (Sam) mentioned at the beginning that her brother wasn't there because he was upset about the wedding, specifically because he didn't want to lose her. He knew that her getting married would mean that she'd move out. So clearly they live together, and it sounds like they've basically been inseparable since their parents' death years ago.
So her brother attempted to give that note to the groom (Carlos) to scare him off so that the wedding wouldn't happen and Sam wouldn't move out.
Keep in mind, Sam and Carlos barely know each other anyway, so they likely wouldn't know if the other had a dangerous past (or present).
And with an anonymous note that simply says, "The person you're marrying is a serial killer," it's not like Carlos could even do anything about it legally, so turning her in isn't an option.
It's just enough to scare someone off but not enough to actually get the person into legal trouble, ya know?
Anyway, here's where I'm confused about it.
So yes, the "person" part definitely gave it away, so I knew the whole time that the note was meant for Carlos. So it made sense that she would be freaked out, knowing that someone out there knew her secret and was trying to tell Carlos, etc. And that explains her call to her brother, saying that something had happened and she was scared.
So I was confused at the very end when Carlos tells her about the dinner with the other lady, and Sam looks down at the note again and seems to only then realize that the note wasn't meant for her. Like it seemed clear that she knew that from the very beginning, why else would she have been so weird?
I mean, I feel like if they were both serial killers, they'd probably be more likely to team up together as opposed to killing each other (or they'd at least be more understanding and bonded through that shared interest).
I think it's the emotional terror of it that really hits hard. Just imagine for a second being in that guy's situation. That kind of emotional anguish is so much scarier than some b.s. vampires or goblins type crap, in my opinion.
Thank you for that lol
I guess any show can go on for decades when you just keep changing out the characters.
Speaking of Guadalupe, though, this show made me confused on its pronunciation. All of the characters (even the British people) say it like "gwah-duh-LOOP", but I've otherwise only ever heard it pronounced like "gwah-duh-LOO-pay".
Oh damn, so there are more new guys to come? That's good to know, thank you.
I hope Camille doesn't fall in love with every single one of them...
And you're right, that makes sense, I hadn't really considered those things. Do you know offhand where they filmed the show? The island of Saint Marie is fictional, right?
I just started that episode, and I had to come here to look it up and see if it was true.
I've been binge-ing it, so 10 minutes ago when Camille wasn't sure if Poole would come back from his short trip to London, I was like, "Thankfully we know that he does come back, because there are over ten subsequent seasons." I was super excited, because I'd really grown to love him.
When I saw the episode's title, "Death of a Detective", I thought, "Hopefully it's not one of ours." But I honestly didn't think they'd do that to us in this show.
Even a few minutes into this episode, I was like, "Okay, this has to be something that Poole is just making up, like, 'If I went to that reunion I'd be bored to death, or actually murdered, and you'd all be so sad,' etc."
I was really hoping that that was the case :(
I'm pissed, I really fucking loved him, and I wanted to see what was going to progress with him and Camille.
Why'd they have to kill him though? If the actor had other things going on and they knew he wouldn't be on the show again anyway, why didn't they just make him stay in London at the end of season 2 like Camille was worried he would?
I love this show, but I'm not happy about the blindsided heartbreaking bullshit.
I agree with you. I was glad that he cut them all out of his will, because they're all terrible and ungrateful and shitty people, but I did think it was unfair that, in the same breath, he gave everything to Marta. Don't get me wrong, I definitely felt that she should get it all and the family should get nothing. But I didn't like the position that it inevitably put her in, with the rest of the family turning on her and trying to get their claws into her and the money. It would've been nice if he'd somehow separated those things.
Anyway, at first I thought that the granddaughter was okay, but then (from what I remember) we see that she's just as shitty as the others, so I felt that she could go fuck herself as well.
TLDR: OP is just racist and whiny.
Can we pin this to the top to save everyone time?
I wish it had continued, because I find it hilarious! "Kevin" and Billy crack me up so much lol Two seasons just wasn't enough.
Just popping in to say that I like this response.
Though I don't necessarily think that "thinking someone who disagrees with you is automatically wrong" is unique to liberals, because plenty of conservatives seem to have that approach to things, too. (I know that's also a generalization, of course.)
Anyway, I appreciate your self-awareness. Good form.
I had just assumed that she had Tourette's, with the clicking sounds and all that.
I think I read or watched something that said that Paimon killed the husband instead of Annie because the husband was insignificant to the demon and its goals, as he's just her husband, not a part of her family lineage or whatever.
As others have said, driving her to the hospital would've been a lot faster than waiting for an ambulance.
However, that being said, the whole "accident" was orchestrated by the cult anyway.
Yes, Charlie should've had an EpiPen on her, or at the very least in the car. Apparently the writer/director anticipated viewers asking "wtf" about that bit, so it was written in a way that could suggest that Paimon was kind of steering Charlie to that kind of recklessness in order to cause her death.
Peter wasn't drinking, only smoking pot. The accident wasn't a result of him being stoned anyway; although I was kind of miffed that they just glossed over all of the big things immediately after -- like cops, or the whole "wtf happened to your sister's head" convo the next day. Even if he was in total shock (medically), he'd still have been facing some serious criminal charges...
But I digress.
The light pole has the Paimon symbol carved into it (I think it's shown on the way to the party?). The cult made it so that that accident happened (if I remember correctly), making sure that Charlie died (Paimon loves him some decaffeinated heads).
So yes -- it would've been faster to drive than wait for an ambulance. But Charlie wasn't getting home alive either way, the cult made sure of that.
My friend and I just watched this tonight, and we agreed that that scene was the creepiest, most unsettling, peek-through-your-fingers moment in a movie so far for either of us. And then the following ceiling scenes, and her banging her head against the attic door-- holy shit, we were not having it! lol
But after that first scene in the bedroom, that's when I realized that it was so quiet that whole time, which definitely added to the creep factor. Too many movies have loud, unnecessary noises just for jump scares. I'll take an extended scene of that quiet creepy over a half-second creepy image/loud sound *any day*.
We were both very impressed by this movie. Ari Aster is now our new favorite writer/director. (And I tend to not care for supernatural-type things in scary movies, so I was surprised at how much I liked this one.)
Man, watching her up there was so goddamn chilling!!
Holy shit, I totally forgot he was in that episode! I'll have to rewatch it again now that I know that's him.
Also the guy that plays Tobias was in an episode of "Masters of Horror", which I didn't realize until I watched it a second time after watching "Oz".
Man, so many good actors in that show.
