A Sequel or a Prequel

I liked the film though it seems unfair for innocent people to pay or suffer for what others did. But I guess that's the theme of the film. The girl was an innocent and is now mindlessly torturing others as she was, others who are just as innocent as she was.

The film however made me quite intrigued over the girl, her past, or if she could ever be awoken from her state. I found her extremely and uniquely creepy actually, her glazed cloudy open eyes, white dead skin, and nudity of a corpse. She was eerily beautiful but very scary to look at too. I imagine that eeriness would disappear as soon as she moved, blinked, talked, or exhibited any human-like qualities.

Still, it makes her all the more mysterious and makes you want to know more about her, her past, and possible future. I liked the film The Witch and loved the antiquated setting of the 17th or earlier century. It would be interesting if a film explored her past and how she came to be a living cursed corpse. I imagine a film similar to the look of The Witch set in the Salem Witch trials.

I think both could work. It sets up a possible sequel by showing that guy transporting her, and her toe twitching. Also, it shows a close up of the camera recording the autopsy procedure. I know there was a fire and everything, but differing theories suggest that there was never a fire (it was an extremely convincing hallucination). Or one could even say a short-lived fire would not affect the hard drive of modern cameras, and so the footage is intact and would make great "found footage" in a sequel.

A prequel would be interesting too, showing what happened to this girl. Maybe she was innocent or maybe not. We are going by Brian Cox's conjecture, but he could very well be wrong, and this girl was evil from day one. The prequel could have quite a few twists.
