What the ... ??? spoilers


Like most of the films in this series, the acting and film quality were good, but the editing was choppy and there were a few plot points that were started but weren't explained. It felt like they cut about 30 minutes out of this.

I don't understand why they just decided to burn the body of the girl who was killed. She was murdered, right? So how can someone just blithely decide to burn the body and go on vacation? THAT did not add up. Even if abortions were illegal then (I'm not great with world history) and they wanted to conceal what they were doing, would you go to sleep in a house were someone had just been MURDERED by an unknown assailant? Also, the lesbian side plot - did the doctor just stop hitting on her? Why was the camera view from the floor if the mother was "insane" and the killer? How did the doctor get her throat cut (the camera angle clearly shows there's no one beside her)? What the hell happened to Christina?????

Very frustrating. Also, side note, it took me at least 15 minutes to notice this was supposed to be the 70's (I think). LOL I thought it was just differences in fashion. In US movies, you can ALWAYS tell the '70's because everyone has sideburns.

They're coming to get you, Barbara!

Neither possibility (a killer foetus, or Gloria as the killer) fully fits the evidence. Maybe it was a bit of both--the foetus came back to life, and when Gloria realized it at the end, she snapped and "channeled" her dead child, calling out "I want to live."

I felt silly typing all that.

Anyway, I have a question about the film's BEGINNING, which is actually, I guess, a preview of the ending. In this clip, Vicky watches from the stairs as someone drags a sheet-covered body across the floor. It's a woman with long, blonde hair. But this hair doesn't match anyone who we know dies--it's not Ana, or the young woman killed on the procedure table.

How does this add up? Or am I just wrong about the hair not belonging to either of these women?
