ENDING (spoilers)

I was very torn when this film ended. Yes, excellent build up, atmosphere and shock value but I wasn't truly convinced that she was possessed.

Thinking more about it there were some signs that really pointed to her being "haunted" such as The woman saying "Devil" and pointing at her belly, and the priest getting shocked when he touched her belly. But what really would sell me is the EVP recordings.

Other than that there wasn't enough concrete evidence for me to believe that she wasn't just getting mentally worse since she was off of her meds. She exhibited classic depression, and schizophrenia. Her disorder was very real and her actions being off of her medication were completely plausible for her disorder.

Maybe it was a combination of the two, but Im still a bit baffled.

Thoughts?

Her creepy smile near the end tells me that she was possessed. Her face and eyes changed when she smiled. I agree with things you say, cause they have sense, but that "smile" was definitely not her, creepy scene by the way.

yes, true, There did appear to be an apparition in the background of the camera footage when she kept getting "knocks" at the door and also the hostility from the dog.

So, yes she most likely was possessed. But her actions were so textbook mental disorder it swayed me for a moment.

Just curiousity, do you study psychology? I do, and you are right about her "depression, esquizofrenia" they are textbook mental disorder, the way she behave and all. That's why I believe that you point is also valid in my opinion.

Im not in psychology... I just suffer from borderline personality, OCD and anxiety lol so Id like to think I am educated on mental disorders.

Admirable. That's brave of you to say that

O its no big deal, but I appreciate that you said that. I just can relate to all of these horror movies/disturbing movies. :)

sorry to hear that. I have issues with depression and anxiety too (enough so I need to be on meds) so I know how it is to be really well-informed about various psychiatric disorders the hard way. Stay strong.

It's clear that there's something supernatural going on. The movie tells you so over and over again. There are video disturbances, the otherworldly voice during the home invasion, the knocking -- which is heard on tape so it's not just her imagination, the scratches and so on.

The clearest indication though is when she's about to deliver and smiles and looks at the camera with eyes that are not hers. In fact I wonder whether that might not have been digitally altered as those eyes don't look like Laurel Vail's.

The thing I wonder about is whether she killed herself later out of grief, or because she was still being tormented by the demon, or if it actually has her kill herself.

yeah, they hinted that it was in her head, (and she did some pretty *beep* things, like building that big 'nest' in the bathtub, covering up the mirrors, and stabbing the poor dog, among others)...

... but the very creepy sounds the recording crew picked up (I mean those were inhuman, a human could not have made them no matter how mentally ill they were), and the cameras malfunctioning when the priest tried to bless the baby, the ultrasound suddenly screeching (I jumped), all the times the cameras would start to de-pixel when she got upset or someone would get too near her stomach (especially when she started giving birth), also that shot where she was recording herself in the mirror with the cam and the picture was glitch-y and fuzzy on her baby bump but clear everywhere else. Oh, and the woman in the house they were looking at that freaked out as soon as she saw Rachel and kept pointing at her stomach. She also goes into the nursery in one scene and you can see her breath, the temperature obviously dropped.

I felt so sorry for Kyle because he was trying to be supportive and loving but couldn't help her. He looked so relieved when the baby was finally born and then, well... THAT didn't last long, poor guy. Also the way the light started to go out of Rachel's eyes around the time of the baby shower, and they show per pre-pregnancy at the very end and she was so happy, healthy and bursting with life and energy, she's barely recognizable as the dead-behind-the-eyes woman you see in the last half-hour of the film.
