Go re watch there's a scene where she's looking at the camera while she's in the sun and they are both the same color.

I wonder if theyll read this & say that awkward moment when I wasted my life readin a signature. :\

[–] gray_pixel 12 years ago

I don't know about the shot you're referring to, but I just watched the film and noticed her eyes being different colors in one of her very first scenes. I believe the eye color connection is supposed to imply that she is the child of her uncle.

[–] jmaybay 12 years ago

I don't remember how far in the sunlight scene is but the other two I just said have her with one eye color 29minutes in exactly while she's talking to the sherif after she gets attacked by the ghost

Annie has one green eye and one blue eye throughout the film, but sometimes it's hard to see and sometimes I wondered if they forgot to add the color in some scenes.

I took the liberty of taking some screenshots, just click the image to enlarge it:

I can't say she had it throughout the film. I myself went back and looked at different scenes to see if I missed them, and I didn't notice any except the time at the end at the hairdresser's.

Why are her lips pursed in every picture? So distracting. How could the Director not notice that?

I just looked at the scene at the sheriff's again, and her two eyes are the same colours. Sometimes I think people see what they are told to see. I stared at them; paused the frame, and her two eyes are definitely the same colour.

"she is the child of her uncle. "

Unless Glick who wore the same cross as her is her real mother, so Charles wouldn't be her uncle at all.

reply

[–] Positively_Annoying 11 years ago

I think the implication is that she is the child of her uncle and that her mother was a nutcase who knew of his murders and kept them secret (the pact)- perhaps she even brought him the victims? The mother took the necklace and gave it to Annie.

The worst part of the movie was the fact that it leaves too much unexplained.

I agree. It seems like they wanted to leave you with all these unanswered questions Maybe they like to have people blogging about their show (like how we are doing), cause I can't find another reason to leave people confused like that. Some swear they see the different coloured eyes in some shots, and some swear they're not coloured.

[–] Positively_Annoying 11 years ago

True, but there is no denying that the opening shot is a close-up of a green eye, which upon blinking, becomes a blue eye.

So the eye colour changes? I thought it was, one eye blue and one eye green.

[–] inko8 11 years ago

no it's clearly the SAME eye-- you can tell by the placement of the eyelashes, perfectly curled-- in fact, the eye color was also too perfect, like color contacts, and that eye doesn't look like it belonged to the lead actress.

you can follow the links posted and observe all of the above.

Serial Killers almost always keep souveniers from thier victims. Likely Annie's mother was given or took it from Judas, and then gave it to her daughter. Maybe in order to help her brother in his fantasies?

Since we don't know what happened in the closet, but most people assume Judas abused the girls, how do you think Judas would react when he saw Annie wearing a sovenier of this victim?

reply

[–] ykymrfalcon 11 years ago

Exactly what I thought.

reply

[–] ravmeltt 12 years ago

I believe the eye color connection is supposed to imply that she is the child of her uncle.

I didnt get that implication. I think it was just showing that she was definitely related to Judas and that he was in fact her uncle. Their father left home it was told and I don't see where this shows that it was her father and not her uncle.

[–] rpeterson122 8 years ago

But that's what the director intended:
BD: There are references to Annie?s eyes: one being blue, one being green. What exactly was this saying?

McCarthy: The eyes thing was actually explained a little more in a cut piece of dialogue from the cousin character, where she remarks on Annie?s eyes being different colors ? she said in the script, ?Your mother didn?t have them, so your father must?ve.? I hope that explains it a little more?

reply

[–] goodnightmoon 12 years ago

I totally agree that Judas was her father. They alluded to it in the beginning at the funeral and the eye color thing was the clincher. He may even have raped the mother. That would explain the religious fanaticism.

No she didn't. I went and re-watched some scenes and saw two same colour eyes. They were especially noticeable in the scene after she just killed Judas, when the sun was shining directly in her eyes. Yet during the hairdresser scene at the end, her eyes were two colours. I can't understand if earlier it was a miss by the producers, or they were trying to deliberately confuse viewers.

[–] ravensdestiny_28 11 years ago

I haven't even finished this film, not even half way in and I noticed she had one green eye and one blue eye, so it definitely is shown before the end of the movie as I have not even gotten that far yet. I'm only 20 minutes into the film and I noticed the two different eye colors.

reply

[–] greatchef 11 years ago

Yes. She did. I remember in the first scene at the house, and they showed a close-up of her, and I said "oh! She's got Heterochromia" (one green eye one blue). You keep saying that her eyes are uniform until the end, but that's simply not so. I distinctly saw it. So did others here. There's even photos of it.

I'm guessing in the US, this film was made for cable or was a direct to disc film. There is a lot of type about HD and homeviewiing.

In the UK this film with its Christmas theme opened at cinemas in the UK at the start of JUne. So I got to see the eyes on a lot larger screen than a home projection system or big screen TV.

The lead characters eyes for the most part were green and blue in color, it took a while for me to actually notice this. They became evident at the funeral

reply

[–] palelaura 12 years ago

Her eyes were different colours throughout the film. Sometimes it's more noticeable than others depending on lighting etc..

Also, the actress who plays Annie actually does have one blue eye and one green eye in real life. I guess they made it a plot point.

[–] MissAngelCakes 12 years ago

Caity Lotz who plays Annie has 2 blue eyes, so that's not what happened:

ummm, this is the movies. One green and one blue eye can easily be accomplished with contacts lenses or CGI.

No they weren't. They were only shown different during the hairdresser scene.

[–] dobbo1973-411-625859 12 years ago

hmm...I must need my eyes testing as I noticed they where different colours earlier on...think the first scene I noticed was when she was on the wasteground and she was led to the church, which prompted me to remark to the wife "she's got one blue and one green eye".

obviously I need to stop taking LSD before watching movies.

reply

[–] Positively_Annoying 11 years ago

It was in the opening shot. It focuses on a single eye changing from green to a bright blue in a blink.

Of course, I am not sure why it is one single eye in that shot.

It wasn't just the hairdresser scene. Her eyes were different colors during the close up scenes.

Her eyes were shown as one blue one green from the beginning of the film, not just in the hairdresser scene. Seriously, did you even watch from beginning to end? Stop arguing the point and go back and watch the film again.

If you're speaking to me, sudenkorento, then I did, and I still did not see what you saw. So maybe our TV's showed things differently? I don't know. But I saw what I saw and you saw what you saw. So I am free to argue my point and so are you.

[–] ravmeltt 12 years ago

Monica (OP) I agree with you about the mambo jumbo. After your post I went back and looked at different scenes, and in the scene where she shot Judas, he had one eye blue/grey and one green, but her pair of eyes were all one colour (grey I believe). Yet at the end, during the hairdressing scene, she had two different colour eyes. I think the producers were messing with our heads. They should have showed two colours during the film and they didn't, yet magically she had two different colours at the end? I think either they forgot to put on the contact lenses during the film but put it on at the end, or they were deliberately trying to mess with us. They succeeded in doing so.

Throughout the film she has different eye colors. I posted links a few posts up with screenshots where you can see that each eye is a different color.

I think they might have messed up. There was also a scene were you could clearly see the camera man. In a reflection at the church.

I checked them out but again I only saw her eye colour different at the hairdresser scene. I think either they forgot to put it so people could actually see the different colours, or people saw what they wanted to see, except at the hairdresser scene where you couldn't miss it.

I think there may have been issues with continuity, but the question was asked and the director said it was intended.

[–] x_paperdoll66_x 11 years ago

I think part of the problem is that the shots at the beginning and end were lit and probably digitally altered to emphasize the two different colored eyes. In the rest of the movie, the actress is wearing colored contacts, but the effect is much more realistic. I was watching it on a big screen, and it looked like she was wearing the lenses the whole time.

reply

[–] Sejian 11 years ago

Either y'all need glasses or the quality of the print y'all saw wasn't clear enough.

Blu-ray. 00:09:31, while Annie's on the phone with Liz, left eye green, right eye blue. Again at 00:16:39 while at the funeral, talking with Liz. I won't continue.

They shouldn't have shown it so "predominantly" in the hair dresser scene right after pushing it in your face with Judas, one can understand why you'd think he possessed her since they never really focused on her eyes.

Heterochromia can be either hereditary or as a result of an injury. In Annie's case it's hereditary, her uncle, "Judas", was her father. Understand?

The closing eye scene was either to show Judas' ghost remains in the house after Annie killed him or just to further confuse people, it was unnecessary, they should have ended it with Annie and Eve. Unless they intend to make a sequel, like they try with a lot of films that should not be milked.

With that said, I enjoyed the film.
