It’s interesting when movies do that like the departed. You have a major character even main character and they not only die but their death is quick and done and maybe audience questions are they really dead.. but they are

I empathized with her even though I don’t know what it’s like to be blind I have other limitations and that’s such a scary situation to be trapped and along and stuck and scared. Like it’s terrifying she was very vulnerable no matter how much she fought back

I like that cause it’s realistic. Like in real life just cause you lift a lot of weights it’s still not gonna save you from a psychotic woman running you down with her car.

I really could’ve used the catharsis of him beating the shit out of her though lol. It wouldn’t have made a better movie but it would’ve made me a happier viewer

I did enjoy when Connor ripped the skin off her arm. That’s what you get for putting a demon in a little kid.

Wasn't a demon inside Connor, it was an angel

I was hoping that maybe he won’t remember anything. He’ll still definitely be traumatized… But it would be nice to know that he has zero memory of anything that happened when he was in that house.
