So what happened to the babysitter?


Last time she is seen she is wandering the woods alone looking for the Rudy kid...?

Haha, I came to post the same thing! Guess we have to chalk it up to an "off-screen death".

Spoiler...

She got whacked by those tree-like things that started popping out of the ground.

I didn't see that happen...

I didn't see it happen either. And where were her parents? Surely they would have been frantic when she didn't turn up with the rest of the family in town.
And what about the dog? Where did he go and why? My son would have been hysterical if his dog had disappeared like that.

Also, what about poor Derek? Surely some adult should have gone to make sure he really was dead (and not lying there unconscious) on the word of a teenage girl, if only to retrieve the body. And she really didn't seem that upset after all the fuss she made at the beginning of the film.

Towards the end, there is a shot of the green bus, perfectly in tact, after having been annihilated (and in which a man died). by fire earlier on.

I hate goofs, and loose-ends, especially ones as blatant as these.

I liked the idea of this, and it could have made a really good imaginative children's movie (like Bridge to Terabithia) rather than something aimed at all audiences.

I guess the babysitter died, because she touched that game piece that Rudy said would take away her life.

But my mind must've wandered while watching this because I don't remember seeing either her or the snowboarder kid die.

I thought someone said there was one injured on the mountain? Wouldn't that be the other snowboarder? but continuity really messed up.

reply

The babysitter died from what I could tell when those ginormous wooden spikes came up out the ground. You saw it only briefly. That one snowboarder that was with Jennifer, died from the same time from what I could tell as well. He at least appeared to be. As for the injuried up on the mountain, he sent that message when he rescued his wife and daughter, so entirely plausible that he had died in the interim in between before Derek found them under the avalanche. Also after he found them it looked like they came back for his friend, but he was dead or something.

It wasn't shown. We heard only a partial scream, then a giant ice spike appeared. I guess you would have to use your imagination as to what happened but realistically, either the visual effect was too expensive to produce, or it was too graphic and cut out. Based on SyFy's history, I would bet on the former...

It was shown, but it was quick. There was blood sprayed everywhere when the spike came up from the ground. At least that's what it looked and sounded like. But it was so quick, it's hard to tell for sure what's what.
