I'm not a hundred percent sure... I kinda thought that that guy (names, a complete puzzle to me) had killed her sister and thought that she was getting to close and so he killed her... I think he tied her to an anchor or similar... the vicar fell in love with her and he was looking on going the same was as she did about her sister and getting obsessed... he even repeated the exact same lines as her when talking about wishing there was a body so there'd be closure. I think Stephen had been having a fling with her sister, but I don't think that that was particularly significant, although she helps to give him closure I think... although it did mean that she was scared of him because she thought that he'd killed her, thus why she went to the other guy!
I'm talking gibberish!

Can you please answer one of my question hallucinogenicbug? At the end where the priest is in the cafe and drops some coins and picks them up and sees a statue of a face in the wall he suddenly realises something.

My question is what did he realise and how did he realise it?

I didn't manage to work that bit out completely... he was putting money into a collection for the blind, and that made him think of the boat keeper from legends... the one who rows the dead across the river, who is often described as being blind, but I'm not completely sure what he realised. Something about the sinificance of the blind spot between the two security cameras, but that's the best I can suggest!

I assumed that the bloke with the baby killed Annie because he found out she was putting it about a bit..with Stephen,and with that bloke who mistook Kath for Annie in the pub..infact I believe Annie may have been working as a prostitute.

The bit with the statue bewildered me a bit too

I agree with you about the motive Jim had for killing Annie but I don't think she was a prostitute. The guy in the bar that talks to Kath because he has mistaken her for Annie tells her that Annie had been to a particular hotel, probably more than once, with a pretty ordinary man, medium height, medium build with brownish hair. That was likely to have been Steven (the fella at the video editing place). So Annie was having an affair, not selling herself.

I reckon Hallucinogenicbug's theory about the eyes of the charity box reminding Noyen of the ferryman is spot on. The very next scene shows a close-up of the ferrymans blind eyes. But I'm not totally sure why Kath finds herself waiting on the other shore, mind you. Are we supposed to take it that all the clues and sightings throughout the film have actually been warnings from her own subconscious, based on suspicions she harboured on some deep level, rather than attempted contact from her sister?
And I am baffled about the subliminal image in the video which turns out to be of Kath and Annie on a rollercoaster. What was it's significance? I get that it probably has something to do with what Noyen says about 'seeing what you want to see', but what have rollercoasters got to do with anything?

A very interesting film.

yes you are right..I forgot the chap in the pub was describing someone else .. I thought he had been there with Annie himself...so yes he would have been describing stephen

to sonofajoiner, the rollercoaster images were exactly what you said...subliminal. She was not as close to her sister as she had always longed to be and the time she went on the rollercoaster was one of her favourite moments from her childhood and that is how she preferred to remember their time together - as children having fun and not the adults they came to be. Even when she died at the end, she was still imagining it but it now seemed positively different to her as they could now be together. She had a crap life and just wanted to be with her sister on that rollercoaster again.


















(i think)

That makes a lot of sense actually. Kath does talk a bit about being a mess and relying on her sister, in a way, to look after her. So maybe their relationship had ben put under some strain and they weren't as close as Kath made out once Annie disappeared.
