I saw this movie on lifetime and am confused! Jaime died in the woods I'm sure but what happened at the end when they showed all those pictures and those clips at the end? Can comeone please explain this and what happened to me did Jaime die and was she the one doing all the stuff or was it Amanda? The clips confused me so can someone please explain?
sharehey sorry i can't answer your questions, cause i think i'm just as confused as you are right now about the movie.
shareI was very confused by this ending too. I was a bit disapointed in the movie as well. It seemed to drag on in the beginning, no one ever believed Jamie and she died with everyone thinking she was crazy and Amanda blaming her for her death, and it ended very abruptly and confusingly.
shareGood I thought it was just me, I have no idea what was going on at the end either, does anybody?
shareI just saw this movie too and came here hoping someone could explain what happened to Jamie and how she died.....I see everyone so far is as confused as me. Here's hoping someone will come up with an answer.
It seems to me that Amanda blamed Jamie for her death and she somehow caused Jamie to drown at the end. You could see the water coming from her nose and mouth before she died. Very weird indeed.... I was liking the movie and then the ending just came so quickly and was confusing...
In the series of events that happened with Jamie, I believe Amanda has caused it and became very revengeful against her mother, therefore blaming Jamie for her death. Right from the beginning even when Jamie was pregnant, the baby was already formed in her mind as evil--somehow probably Amanda made it seem that way. At the end, Jamie finally realized the baby had nothing to do what was happening to her and I guess she 'saved' her child from evil by drowing in the water and ending her guilt for the death of Amanda. In other words it was like 'don't make the baby suffer, if you want me, then I'll go with you' type of thing. I don't know if this is right or not. I wish they elaborated more in the movie so people can get a better understanding of it.
shareI don't know if anyone has seen "Dark Water" but that's what this really reminded me of. Lots of differences of course, but hte general idea with the ending. I think Jamie realized that she had to die otherwise Caitlin was going to die because Amanda was jealous. She read that article on the internet about souls being able to steal youunger souls or whatever - initially Amanda was reliving through Caitlin and wreaking havoc and making life hell for Jamie. The only way to get rid of Amanda was to get rid of herself - since she was Amanda's target. So ultimately she let Amanda kill her to save Caitlin and her husband. Or at least this is my theory. The end with the pictures and stuff though...I don't know. I kind of thought that Amanda was still hanging around in Caitin...who knows.
My question is, why did Amanda blame Jamie, saying that she had killed her? Jamie told her to come inside, Amanda is the one who ran off. It was an accident. I just didn't get that at all.

The reason Amanda blamed Jamie was that in the original screenplay Jamie lied about her involvement with Amanda's death. The original ending has different backstory: It's winter. Amanda playing outside in a a brewing snow storm, refuses to come inside when called by her mother. Amanda runs out onto on a dock (at the lake side cottage where they are vacationing). Jamie, cold and angry, is forced to follow. When Amanda tells Jamie she hates her, Jamie slaps her daughter, causing her to spin off the dock and onto the iced over river. The ice breaks and Amanda falls through. Jamie chases her, running along the ice, tracking Amanda who's desperatly flailing, trapped underneath. Jamie slips on the ice and loses sight of her daughter. Later, when the police arrive, Jamie omits the part about the slap -- saying that they argued and Amanda slipped off the dock by accident. This is why Jamie secretly has so much guilt inside and believes Amanda wants her revenge - Ian
shareNow THAT would have made more sense. However, the ambiguous ending was terrible! This screenplay would've needed another draft or so to become decent. HORRIBLE screenplay as it stands. Yuck.

Ok that would make so much sense! Still don't understand why the newborn was able to walk though lol
sharei agree sooo much. i just say this for the first time about 10 minutes ago and all throughout the movies i was think ing ' its concept is just the same'
shareThis is just a guess but it looked like in the background on the video that there was a shadow. What I figure is that she all of a sudden realized that Amanda was there. The only confusing part was that the baby somehow was crawling and then stood up when she didn't look old enough to be doing that. I still don't understand whether the writers want the story to be that the baby was possessed or not?!!!! She looked up all that stuff about demonic possession and they kind of left it hanging! I don't know...it was very confusing. But I do think there was a shadow because then the marble rolls across the floor. I think that was the writers way of showing that there was someone else in the room.
shareI did not see a shadow in the room in that scene. This movie was all too confusing to even focus on detail. I was just looking at the evil demon baby, trying to figure out why they made it so un-realistic. LOL! In my opinion, I think that Jamie should have either chased Amanda until she got her inside or gone across the river in the first place. That would have avoided the whole killer baby scenario. I hated this movie. What was the point of this movie anyway. All the cuttin with the knife, {sarcasticly} the marbles "mysteriously" being on the floor in the exact spot Jamie was stepping on, and HOW THE HECK DID THE WATER GET IN JAMIE'S LUNGS ANY DANG WAY? If someone understands this movie, you and I are totally on a different page. Even if someone would collaborate this movie, I still think it wouldn't make 1 millionth of sense to me.

P.S. I would luv to see the sequel. If only it would make sense.
Well, she did say "take me instead" to Amanda... and I guess Amanda filled her lungs w/ water? Any way, it was a totally strange ending.
"Don't milk the cat!"
Yeah, that was my impression. Amanda's spirit really only wanted Jamie (although it wasn't her fault she drowned), so she took her instead of the baby.
Tomorrow's just your future yesterday!
The point of the ending is, you can't be sure. Maybe Amanda was haunting Jamie. Maybe Amanda was just in Jamie's head, and Jamie killed herself to protect the baby. Either one is possible. It's like the Tell-Tale Heart.
shareWhen they found Jamie in the woods, she was holding the baby, slowly dying. My take on the movie is that Jamie accepted the vengeful spirit of Amanda into herself, releasing Amanda's hold on the baby. The spirit, Amanda who drowned, completed her revenge by killing the mother the way she died, by drowning. It was kind of like a scene from The Ring, not that this movie can be confused with The Ring.
I really would have preferred them to have explained the guilt Jamie was feeling better. A parent usually feels guilt b/c of the loss of a child, but if you throw a vengeful spirit into the mix, there should be more concrete reason for the mother's guilt. Plus, it would have been better if we could have mentioned whether or not Jamie could have been suffering from post-partum depression after the birth of Baby Caitlyn in addition to the guilt over Amanda.
This is weird... I just watched a screener of the movie which is gonna be shown on Sky Movies in the UK in March and the ending is different to the one described here.
After Jamie 'drowns' in the forest and you see the paramedics trying to revive her with the defibrilator, you hear her flatline on the soundtrack and the screen fades to black. Then you suddenly hear the flatline tone on the defibrilator start to pulse again, as if Jamie has come back to life. You then fade back up to a shot of the house in daytime and you hear a Caitlin laughing and Jamie says "Okay, playtime's over. Now you have to take your nap". Then the credits roll.
The inference is that Jamie lives and that she has somehow banished the ghost of Amanda and that everything's alright again.
However, it still doesn't make much sense. It is never adequately explains whether or not Jamie was responsible for Amanda's drowning, and if she wasn't then why did Amanda's ghost come back to get revenge? And had the ghost taken possession of the baby or was it acting independently and doing things like leaving the marbles on the stairs. Or if everything was happening in Jamie's head and she was just going off her rocker, how did she get all the water in her lungs at the end?
And I have watched those sequences showing the nannycam over and over again, pausing and using frame advance and I still cannot figure out what they are meant to be showing. When Jamie looks at the nannycam video of Caitlin in the crib and says "That isn't possible!", all she's looking at is a baby in a crib - there's nothing in the background and nothing weird about the image at all. So what isn't possible?????
I'm probably wasting more time than is really warranted trying to figure out this stupid film, but it reallu bugs me when things don't add up properly. LOL
When Jamie is watching the video she says it's not possible because Caitlin was in the crib, but she wasn't in there on the night of the actual event.
One thing that seriously annoyed the heck out of me was the evil laugh that would sometimes play in the background. You know that haunted house laugh they have on carnival rides... gah!

I'm not sure about the pictures because when i watched this movie i didn't see that it just ended and that was it, also Jaime was saved at the end if you listen when they are trying to revive her you hesr the her heart beat flatline and then start again and then they show the outside of the house and you hear Jaime say to Kaitlyn something like its not playtime its naptime now and you hear Kaitlyn giggle, I think that Amanda was haunting the baby because she blamed her mother for what happened to her.
One thing I noticed when Jaime is in town and the stroller rolls away from her and when she catches up to it Kaitlyn is not in it then that lady (who she tells not 5 minutes before that Kaitlyn is 5 months old) comes through the crowd and said its okay she is here, she must have climbed out or got out something like that, my first thought was how the hell does a 5 month old baby climb out of the stroller is the woman nuts or just really freakin stupid.
"I'll set my course by you my northern star"
Lmao @ Wentworth. I agree about the stroller scene it made NO sense. I didn't see the very beginning so i may have missed some stuff but I thought the movie was going to turn out that the husband and sister knew the baby was demonic type of thing or maybe Amanda was trying to save her mom from her demonic sister. Idk JMO. I felt this movie could have turned out alot better had they not threw in the dead sister and just focused on the demon baby storyline and maybe have SOMEONE believe Jamie. Also how could Jamie's doctor tell her husband about what went on and was said in the sessions doesn't that violate patient doctor confidentiality?
Was i the only one who felt Jamie was justified in getting angry at her husband and sister when he was giving her a massage? I thought WTF? You are in your sister in laws bedroom with the door closed giving her a massage how do you not expect your wife to get upset.
