What Happened at the end?


I was watching this movie on Sunday (8/14) and my cable went out about 20 minutes before the end. Was there some realtionship between the pregnant woman and Dr. Hatch or did she just look like his mother? Was it confirmed that Dr. hatch killed his 3 day old brother when he was a boy? How did this movie end?

Thanks,
John

I will be honest, I don't remember this whole film but....

I remember the very end because it was creepy..... Dr. Hatch captures the preganant woman and takes her back to his doctor's office, where gives her an epidural to make her completely numb and immobile from the waist down (she's still unconscious, I think he had drugged her not sure).
But then she wakes up and realizes what is happening. Dr. Hatch is preparing to perform an abortion on her. She cries and begs for him not to do it. He says Don't worry you won't feel any pain. I made sure.
He turns his back to her, and she sees another syringe laying near her. She slips it inder her sheet.
She calls Dr. Hatch over and smiles at him and says his name lovingly, pretending to be his mother. And says it again. He smiles and leans over and says "Yes?"
She whips out the syringe and stabs him in the neck. He looks horrified, and dies. She lays there, half-sobbing. Off screen she is brought home.

Hope this was helpful!

she wasnt related to him but when she see's the picture of his mother they look almost the same,and he killed his brother cause the mom died with some kind of side effect after the baby was born so he hated his brother for being the reason the only person he loved was dead

Trusting another soul with my fate,showed me how easily love could turn to pure hate.

It was really pittiful in a ways, before he dies he has a flashback of his mother. Sort of messed up, but sad. (after as said above being stabbed). She was his mom (the woman who resembled) and he had some kind of infatuation with her, (Norman Bates style), it wasn't confirmed though about his brother, but you can tell from all the clues because the "baby" took his mom away.

Also, in a flashblack, they showed Myron placing a pillow into the cradle.

I thought earlier in the movie, Aunt Sylvia confirmed that the baby brother was killed so Myron could have his mother to himself.

Life is never fair, and perhaps it is a good thing for most of us that it is not.

reply

Yup, I believe it was!

I thought she stabbed him in the heart...it was late when i watched it though. i thought it was creepy when he kissed her neck in that scene.

reply

You are right. It WAS in the heart.
