Ugly, stupid, annoying protagonist


This is a pretty good movie, except for the main character, I don't think I've seen a worse female character, she basically had no redeeming qualities, I really hated her and her idiotic family...

As I always say to fellow moviechatters, if you're butthurt over the character not being "redeemable", limit yourself to disney movies.

Who do you consider the protagonist in this movie?

reply

Completely disagree. I thought Annie was the truly tragic character of the movie. She loses her mom, then loses her daughter almost immediately afterwards, blames herself for everything, tries her best to make things better, falls prey to a conniving cult worshiper, terrifies her husband, terrifies her son, and on and on and on. She seriously can't catch a break through the whole movie.

TROLLING TONI COLLETTE...PURE STUPIDITY.

No worries mate, there's always the next brain-dead Transformers and Fast & Furious movie for special needs people like you. :)

Don't you dare say anything about Toni Collette.

reply

I disagree.

It’s one of Toni Collette’s best performances and the movie is the equal of the horror classics of the late 70s. For what it’s worth I didn’t particularly like the characters either but I knew the intention was not to fall in love with them but to pity them as their lives went to Hell.

Collette is a fabulous actor but I had enough of her carrying on in this flick
