Question About End (SPOILERS)

I was wondering that myself. Was the girl imagining the entire plot of the story in response to the film she was watching, thus closing the circle of the "girl's reaction to what she watches on film?

That's the only way I can figure it out. If so, then I don't like the addition of that scene.

Otherwise, perhaps she's once again in her fantasy world and imagine a much nicer version of her real father. Her mother is asleep after all, so it could be taking place the next day.

I didn't like the ending at all. It was just a cheap and trite gimmick. Lots of episodes of The Twilight Zone (and similar TV shows) have identical endings.
Sometimes this ambiguous endings works but they can ruin the movie as well.

Crappy ending for a so-so flick.

I liked the ending in terms of an unexpected laugh. A vivid fantasy sprung from the mind of a bored middle-class child with her self-imposed victimization, the subjugation of her mother, and the graphic destruction of her father.

Yeah, imo it was. And while, overall, it was a pretty unfulfilling flick, I stuck it out & let it build up enough suspense in me to want to know what the hell was going on............just to find out it was all a dream (or fantasy, or whatever). oooo clever....NOT. Rarely is, because ANYONE can do THAT. I feel particularly used when I give my time to a director/writer for a film that's mediocre anyway, just to find out they planned to hose me all along...using a "Surprise! It was all a dream!!" ending, solely to allow themselves license to do whatever they want the rest of the time. They could've at least bought me dinner first.

Anyway, of the series so far, I liked 'The Baby's Room' & really liked 'To Let'. 'A Xmas Tale' was not bad (altho a little drawn out). Looking forward to the last 2, especially 'Specter' as it does sound interesting, & 'Blame', well the 'controversy' surrounding the story's (writer/director's) motives have led me to believe that that might overshadow a possibly good film?? We'll see...
