I'm usually not a fan of cliched Disney movie endings, but in this case I wanted the kid to start living a normal life. At the end, it seemed like he was too far gone to integrate back into society that there was no hope for the kid anymore.
Also, why did the wife want the kid to run away after he bashed his dad's skull in? Isn't it a good thing that he did? He saved her life, would she have not been able to explain to the authorities about the whole situation?
He saved her life, would she have not been able to explain to the authorities about the whole situation?
She wanted him to go away for her (and her son's) safety, rather than Rabbit's.
If you were in her shoes, I'd imagine you would do the same.
You have 2 options;
Tell your son that his father was killed by a stranger.
Tell your son that his father was killed by his first son, that he sent off to his serial killer uncle to be killed with his aunt.
SPOILER ALERT: I hated the ending. If the dad was so desperate to get rid of his wife and son, why would he remarry and have ANOTHER son? I understand that some people fall out of love and hate their spouses, others just want to live a single life, but if you can't even love your own son, why have any other kids? What's the difference? And how did he even know his brother was a serial killer? It would have been way better without the last minute twist.
I assumed the new wife's plan was to say someone broke into their home and killed her husband, and pretend it was a stranger to protect Rabbit and also her own son.
Apparently a lot was cut from the actual script. But from the clues given. 1) Dad is just as sick as his brother, but in different ways. 2) Dad's swanky new place and puppy probably came from the money he got from TV appearances and stuff.
His old family and his old life was a hassle. They were just scraping by and he's a sociopath. So he contacts his crazy brother (probably doesn't know his brother's a serial killer, but definitely knows he'd kill his family for money), gets him to kill the family, tells a sob story to a bunch of tv outlets, gets paid, and upgrades to new wife and kid.
The ending was very sloppy in my opinion. Brad was obviously a terrible person and he is clearly the aggressor in the conflict. Any court of law would rule Rabbit innocent. Why the wife instantly made up a lie about burglars is completely unnecessary. Maybe she was protecting Rabbit? Doesn't matter. He's not going to last long on his own anyway. Can't pay bills, get supplies, etc. No shred of hope in this ending, which is usually OK in a horror, but this was building towards his redemption the whole movie and it just didn't happen.
The film should have ended with A.) He overcomes and turns into a normal person. or B.) He himself becomes a serial killer. Instead we got this.
Nah she was protecting her son. Rabbit just didn't know any better. He only has the knowledge of a 9-year-old.

The problem with soultion A is that most people would not overcome what he has gone through. He is damaged, and will allways be.
