What happened to Frank?


I didn't notice anything happening to him, yet Helen refers to him as "Dearly Departed" and we never see him again.

He gets killed. When he attempt the amniocentesis, Anne stabs him with the needle, Helen outraged that he was doing the procedure after she said not to (amniocentesis is how the found out her child was deformed, and Frank did the abortion...which he botched, causing her to become sterile) and after she says he was going to hurt her baby (the eggs were supposed to be switched) he tells her that he never switched the eggs. This sends her off the deep end, she beats him to death with a bat, apologizes, sobs over his body saying she loves him and...
The movie than cuts to Helen in the kitchen chopping and cooking something, and blood in the sink, this is Frank. It isn't clear how she killed him, but just how she disposed of him (also not complete, but left for the imagination)...




Or I'm completely wrong.

It's pretty obvious how she killed him. She beat him to death with the baseball bat!

reply

What I was wondering was how she got him up the steps after killing him. Anne couldn't possibly have helped her and dragging a lifeless body up the steps seems to me to be a bit of a challenge even for someone with strength

reply

Maybe she already chopped him up a little, while still down in the cellar.

reply

There are so many things in this movie that don't make sense, how she got him upstairs is the least of it.

reply

actually it was clear how she killed frank. After she found out that Frank was going to give Anne a test with the needle, helen begins hitting him, and then she takes out a baseball bat and beats him to death with it...then she cuts him up in the kitchen.

reply

heeey lol. after helen found out that frank was going to do a test on anne with the needle she begins hitting him....she then takes out the baseball bat and beats him, and then later on when shes in the kitchen shes cutting him up.

So how stoned were you while watching this? :p
First he gets stabbed with a bigass needle, then Helen starts beating him with a baseball bat for a full minute screaming 'you bastard! you bastard!'
Bam, bam, bam, bam.. then she starts kissing his bloody corpse whispering 'I love you', next scene she's standing in the kitchen, the sink is covered in blood, there's a bowl full of it next to Helen who's chopping meat, wearing a raincoat, completely drenchend in blood, singing 'everything's gonna be alright' and then, suddenly, Frank has mysteriously vanished from the story, I know, it was very subtle, lucky to have picked up on it myself :p
