One thing I still don't get.

This movie is very confusing. At first, I thought it was the ghost of her father that was terrorizing her, but according to the plot synopsis on Wikipedia, it's supposed to be some horse-headed demon. Well, that explains the creature at the end and all the horse imagery, but I still don't understand the significance of the deer. I mean why does she hide the thing in the basement? And I'm guessing that's what that foul odor that everybody was complaining about was.

I agree with you on the father haunting her imo the horse creature was her dad she replaced all pics of him in the photo album with horse heads. As for why she took the dead deer home I'm not sure

For some reason she linked the deer with her father. I assume she stumbled onto it while filming in the woods, dragged it home and stored it. When we see her and Hannah in the basement with the deer, Molly says something along the lines of "You did this!" or "You killed him!" linking the deer and their father, since Hannah was the one who kill their father.

We've met before, haven't we?

First of all, she is an insane heroin addict so many of her actions are illogical. I think she was possessed by the demon (metaphorically drugs?) and turned it into her father figure, hence the photos with horse heads. I thought this movie was terrible and not scary or disturbing in any way. Just a tweaked out lady hallucinating and murdering a couple of people. If you haven't seen it, you probably don't want to.

So you're ignoring the fact that the sister opens the door at the end of the movie and the same thing happens to her as did Molly? DUDE, she was POSSESSED.

I just saw this movie & I think the deer represented Molly. It represented her innocence, and the foot getting snared was symbolic of her holding out her hand to the closet and being "trapped" by the entity. The deer being dead was foreshadowing of what was going to happen to her. She blamed her sister, Hannah because she left Molly at the house years ago knowing what her father was going to do to Molly because he had been doing it to Hannah. Since she had no memories of her tortured past, this was Molly finally embracing the loss of herself.
