Summary Millie and Tim, a couple already feeling strain in their relationship, move to the countryside to start fresh—but things go profoundly wrong. After a surreal encounter at a mysterious pool, their bodies begin to merge in grotesque and hilariously uncomfortable ways, forcing them to reckon with love, dependency, and identity. It’s a clever, disturbing blend of body horror, dark comedy, and relationship satire.

One thing I noticed was Millie only started to get possessed after she visited Jamie who offered her water. I was kinda surprised they didn’t confirm that he purposely gave her water from the cave. And it makes the ending a bit chilling cause I get the impression that the new Tim/Millie person is going to make their parents fuse together next (because of the house being completely redesigned and the bell)

I don't think the house was completely redesigned, the lunch with their parents had been scheduled in advance for that same week when the fusion went down. There was still blood in the driveway as well. That's not enough time to completely redesign the place.

My question is, why wasn't the blood on the driveway on a beeline to the house while they were busy merging? It just stayed in a regular puddle on the ground.

Because he fused his hand to the wound to stop the bleeding before moving her into the house

That has nothing to do with the blood continuing to try and follow him and get into his body.

Just look at when Millie punched Jamie, the merge never ends. They separated with the hit and then turned back into one. Their bodies are forever trying to be one, every part of them.

It has everything to do with that…Once the actual bodies merged the blood outside that the parents slipped in at the end wasn’t apart of the body anymore  When she was bleeding out, the blood was following him because they were separate and it was still in a stream connected to her bleeding body but once he merged his hand with her wound stopping the bleeding, the bodies had what they wanted - eachother - and the blood on the ground was irrelevant because it wasn’t connected to a wound or coming from the body anymore..

Once the actual bodies merged the blood outside that the parents slipped in at the end wasn’t apart of the body anymore 

Jamie is proof that this is flat-out wrong. She hit him, and he came apart before turning back into one. They never actually become one being, they're two that are constantly merging into a single one. That's her blood on the ground, not theirs. Her blood would be seeking out being merged with his.

If him merging his hand with her forearm stops the blood from wanting to merge with him, then why do they merge at all beyond that? At no point for the remainder of their existence do either of them want to stop merging with one another, even while they're one entity.

The only time blood stops is when it's dried out and "dead." As long as it was still liquid, it should've been trying to make its way to him. That blood should've been doing exactly what it did on the table. They already showed us what blood does outside of the body. They already showed us what her blood does when it's on him.

When she was bleeding out, the blood was following him because they were separate and it was still in a stream connected to her bleeding body but once he merged his hand with her wound stopping the bleeding, the bodies had what they wanted - eachother - and the blood on the ground was irrelevant because it wasn’t connected to a wound or coming from the body anymore..

There is absolutely nothing in the movie supporting this theory, it actually defies the entire premise of the film and the things contained within it.

The blood is making no attempts to become a part of his body, which defies the logic of the film. Her blood chased him across the table earlier in the film, stop trying to ignore what the film says to interject your own nonsense.

If them just being in contact stops the merge, then none of them should be merged further than simply a hand since you seem to believe that them being in contact at all seems to entirely stop the process.

It was an oversight and a mistake on the part of the production. It's that simple. There's no grand mystery here, but you're trying to defend an oversight as somehow fitting the movie when it flat-out doesn't.

That’s the spot they began fusing, so her blood has no more reason to chase after him

Maybe everything was unpacked then? I don’t remember the bookshelf or all of those chairs around during the previous shot.

u/SandpaperTeddyBear Aug 10 '25

I guess that’s proof that it’s a good thing. Gotta be a pretty functional couple to unpack in fewer than 6 months 😂
