One scene I enjoyed ~spoilers throughout~


Again, Spoilers ahead.




The scene where Julia chases the hooded figure out of the house, into the woods, and down the street struck me as watching a typical monster movie from the monster's perspective. The chase after the truck, hanging on while being dragged, the driver inexplicably stopping the truck, Julia hiding, being left alive when vulnerable, bursting through the window, etc. all felt like she was the Jason Vorhees of the film. It made me wonder if it was done purposely as a clue that she was the villain. When it turned out that she really was (if that's how you see this film), I figured it was done purposely.

I didn't see it that way, I saw it as a woman fighting tooth and nail for her child.

Good observation. At the time I was seeing it ass a reversal of the boogeyman—his own tactics being used against him. But in retrospect it does indicate exactly what you said. Also the Tall man (David's mother) get out first—I was totally expecting Jessica to pop out.
