1. Roselyn was the killer. Right? And she was killing blondes because she was trying to kill her mother?

2. There were no ghost? She was just crazy?

3. Did she kill Emma? And was it beacause she was blond?

3. What was the signifigance of Dr. Clement performing a hysterectomey on her? Was that her interpretation of an earlier event? Is Ros the one who killed him when she was originally there?

4. Did Det. Marling or her husband not suspect her?

5. She's a blond at the end because.........she's repeating the cycle?

I have a million more questions about this movie. It was horribly done. There's nothing clear about it. I want my 1hr and 38minutes back!!!!!! (And the $1 I spent at RedBox on it)

1. I think yes.

2. Are you asking was the ghost doc the one that was actually doing the killings? I say hell no. That would go against the general vibe and idea of the movie.

3. Probably she did and yeah probably cuz she was blonde.

3. Probably that was her recollection of the actual event that happened at some point in her past. Maybe when she was sick initially he performed hysterectomey on her and later she killed him for that with the shrapnel.

4. It was evident that Marling suspected her when he stated that she also has access to the hospital files.

5. Well probably because she's gone completely loco and understood that all the blondes in the world can't be killed so why not become one :D

It was a decent movie though.

Thank you very much, Arturinho. I appreciated the answers. It was an odd movie, but decent enough. Just too many unclear things going on.

But surely the hysterectomy she imagined never happened as she was pregnant at the end? and i take it it was she who killed the doctor with the scalpel.

[–] Arturinho 13 years ago

Well but it is possible that she was pregnant before.

Hello Tyleraarse,

To fully understand this movie, first you need to know about the incest. I highly recommend to you the book "SECRET SURVIVORS. Uncovering Incest and Its Aftereffects in Women" by the brilliant author E. Sue Blume.

The movie actually is very, very good! But you have to know about the PTSD induced amnesia, and also you have to know about the depersonalisation.

Best regards.

ArabianSoul,

I really dont think one has " to know about the incest" to come up with an interpretation for this movie.

1. Yes, Yes
2. Nope, no ghosts
3. Yes and I think so.
4. I didnt think it was a hysterectomy. I think he preformed an abortion. I think her mom tried to kill her b/c she found out she was pregnant with her husbands child and tried to kill them b/c of it. When she escaped, the Dr. took over by giving her an abortion. Thats why you hear the screaming of a little girl in her old ward room "I want my baby!"
5. Yes

The dr. did NOT give her a hysterectomy, he gave her an abortion. If he had given her a hysterectomy, it would have been a major operation, she'd have been under anesthesia, and he'd have to cut her wide open with a laparotomy. Not to be intentionally graphic, but he went in the vaginal canal, clearly with abortion-type apparatus (he shines one up while talking to her), which is how abortions are performed. Also, she cried out in pain, which isn't uncommon during an abortion, although the good dr. didn't appear to be doing it too gently, either.

That scene was a flashback from earlier in her life, and actually happened. I was under the assumption he was performing an abortion against her consent (which is not legal of course, but hey, it's fiction) because he knew she was 'crazy' and would abuse to the child as her mother did to her, and she was unfit to be a mother. She actually stabbed the dr. in the head with the scalpel and killed him then. All the interactions she has with him during present time (at her job) is just her imagining him there; remember at the beginning of the movie one of the first files pulled is the one of the skull x-ray with the scalpel lodged in it. Thus, Dr. Clement was clearly long-dead right from the beginning, proving all recent interactions with him were just her hallucinating.

Of course that also explains why she wrote "I want my baby" all over the place - she was pining for the baby she lost in the abortion, not wishing to get pregnant. It also makes sense how she was able to finally get pregnant at the end of the movie.

I can answer your questions. The writer and director DIDN'T KNOW WHAT THEY WERE DOING. They just shot film and edited any way they wanted. People assume always that film makers have some plans or schemes or overall design. They often don't. They shoot scenes with the actors they have for two days, and then patch together the rest, hiding behind a wall of "artistic ambiguity."
