Just saw the film yesterday up here in Toronto. Loved it. I do have a quick question though in regards to the whole purpose of the filming/stalking of the next door neighbour and her daughters and then the subsequent murder of the daughter - Was this some sort of allusion to the fact that Molly's father - who we presume may or not be the ghost haunting/possessing her - was a child rapist? Or was there something I seemed to have missed?
Thanks!

Molly's husband Tim was having an affair with the next door neighbour.
shareOh! See I thought that was just a one off thing - that he had taken solace with the neighbour because he was so upset over Molly that night but thinking back, it makes much more sense for him to have been having an affair this whole time. Thanks for clearing that up. Just had such a d'oh moment!

Since so much is left to interpretation and there is no clear timeline of events or history, I was also thinking of some other scenarios - Tim was a bigamist who lied about being out of town when he wanted to stay with his other family and the girl Molly killed was his daughter, and/or Molly's father made her kill the girl, presumably with the screwdriver that scared her so much when she and we first saw it, and/or Tim just happened to be in the neighbor's house when the neighbor was just being a really good neighbor..
The more I think about this movie the more the only question that really bothers me is how the sister didn't force Molly to agree to sell the house. The house and land had to be worth plenty to two sisters working in low-end retail.
Revenge is a dish that best goes stale.
I was wondering if the man at the neighbors house was supposed to be Tim. If it was him, he certainly didn't seem to exhibit as much concern as you would of thought when he saw all the cops at his 'girlfriend's' house. Clippty-clop!
Maybe he was off driving his truck to the next girlfriend's house? I swear that's the beauty of this movie, you can just about make up any backstory you like..

Tim wasn't having an affair with the neighbour. It was all in Molly's head. The scene with the neighbour going down on him is after his lips were nearly bitten off and it clearly shows him with nothing wrong. I think at this point Molly was seeing what she wanted to believe.

In response to tenfilms-310.
Rented Lovely Molly from iTunes yesterday. It hasn't erased from my hard drive yet, and I checked the scenes with Tim. In the video where Tim watches the cam-corder right before Molly konks him on the head his lips are clearly bandaged on the video, just like they are as he's watching.
PAX...
Yeah, I double-checked his lips when it shows him at the neighbor's house, and right as she goes down into his lap, he puts his head back and you can see white medical tape on his lips.
shareWrong.
