They discuss this on terrortrap.com a great horror film website. The idea is that Alice will eventually become a killer from the rejection, loss and trauma she experienced. Her character development is one that could easily fit in with most serial killers-rejection-or at least her perception of rejection from her parents (she will eventually discover her father's death to be sure), rejection from her church, sexual abuse (from the creepy landlord), sadistic tendencies and various acts of cruelty-including to animals (she kills a kitten when fending off the landlord-but seems to enjoy it). She IS a killer, just not the killer responsible THIS time. Eventually the idea is that she will become one in the future. I wish they had done a sequel, it would be worth it!
