things i learned from Shut-In (Spoilers)


Cops don't search homes where little boys disappear..

Muscle atrophy can be reversed in minutes

It's okay in a film to jump six months without explaining anything.

All deaf children can read lips.

If your assigned by the state to bring a child somewhere, It's okay to abandon them provided you call 10-12 hours later.

Not all paraplegics need colostomy bags and urine catheters because it makes bath-time less fun.


Buprenorphine can create wild dreams and is tasteless when added to food.

If you love someone a lot, it's okay to tie them up naked in a bath-tub.

Stabbing someone with a hammer won't kill them until they've whispered a few last words.

Police will always believe your story despite the fact that all evidence appears to show you killed your son and psychologist.

People will pay good money to see a film with a crappy twist if they assume the film has a good twist.

>It's okay in a film to jump six months without explaining anything.
I agree with this though in general. I mean that is what happened in "Sixth Sense" (though I don't know exactly how many months it skipped ahead). They want the audience to assume something that is not true. Of course, that is not the case in this movie.

They did it twice though.
And wouldn't it look like she killed her psychiatrist and her paralyzed son?
Who was the other dead person outside? Why not just step over them and leave?

Also learned that a weakling can nail every window and door shut in about five minutes, maybe ten.

Regarding muscle atrophy.,.I thought the movie implied that Steven was up and walking around while Naomi was drugged and/or asleep?
