Wow **spoilers of ending**


Loved this movie. I am going into detail, so if you have not watched do read. If you haven't seen it though--- definitely watch it, it's awesome.


I love movies that have a build up to a really clever twist ending, with lots of small clues that you'll connect with completely at the end. Gives me goose gumps!

I did have one small thought, whenever the serial killer story was on the television, "Maybe the crazy wife is the killer".... usually my twist thoughts keep going, and I figure it out too soon. But this film did a good job of making that thought just kind of stop lol. Because by the end, I actually was very confused and had no idea why these "neighbors" were stalking them and wanting them to get out of the home or die.

I KNEW the mom was fake, that was for sure, and in Liz's mind. I was wondering if that was going to change anything with the plot or not. Love the mom part of the film. So chilling. Actually the entire thing is pretty chilling!! I wish more films like this were made honestly.

The acting was on point. For me, the Jack character KILLED IT. (ha, see what I did there) and at the end one of the even bigger surprise was that Jack was in on it. I guess that was the point. We are left to wonder why he was also killed and stalked since Sellers says "I saw *her* the serial lady" but didn't say anything about a serial guy lol.

Anyway, super impressed, and I probably will watch it again now knowing the twist, so I can see all the little clever connections to the end that foreshadow us or red herring us and so forth.

My ONLY realy question and maybe some of you can answer this,
why couldn't the cops just go in and arrest them? And yes I know, there would be no clever film by doing that. But if her face was in the papers, and the cops had now seen them, is there a reason cops have to use cameras and stalk them? Were they waiting for them to do something they could just run in the house and arrest t/ hem for? I thought having the daughter and them knowing who they were would be enough?

9/10!
