Yeah you’d think the grandma would have protected her

What's left out here is the fact that the demon was already reborn in the sister's body. The entire ritual was the transference from the sister to the brother. That's why the grandmother was so obsessed with the daughter and wanted to care for her herself. The daughter had a physical tick of uncontrollably clicking her tongue in her mouth. This whole notion is confirmed when the final scene shows Peter making the same physical tick. The key, in all of this, was to keep the daughter safe and the demon trapped in an unusable host body. In short, DON'T FORCE YOUR TEENAGE SON TO TAKE HIS YOUNGER SISTER TO A HOUSE PARTY!

I'm a horror fan and even Charlie's missing head made me cringe. It's how it's done. The build up. The suddenness of it. And of course the aftermath of mentally and emotionally checking out. You don't need to see the gore for it to be effective. I don't blame the boy at all. Sure he lied about it being a "school event". But 1, no teen should become a "parent" to their younger sibling. There's "looking out for" and there's "I'm your babysitter". In this case, it's the latter. 2, she didn't want to go anyway so why make her? 3, Even a mentally and emotionally checked out parent knows that nobody has a "school event" in the middle of the night let alone not ask where it's at even if you didn't really care if they went or not. Problem with your solution, I wouldn't trust a bunch of drunk teens to handle a serious situation like that. I'm amazed he had a decent head on his shoulders (ha!) to think as critically as he did. No, they'd be stopping him because it would mean they were going to "get into trouble" for underage drinking.

Here’s why! It focuses more on the emotional aspect than the gorey aspect. Instead of being over the top with all this gross out gore and blood and loud stingers and close ups, it pauses to give you dread, and a horrible horrible sinking feeling, allowing you to feel more, rather than react. Basically hitting your morals and emotions, instead of just our natural reaction and response to dead things and danger. Gorefest movies and scenes kinda dehumanize the victims in a way, looking at them more as just flesh bags, which can remove our empathy a little (it’s like how slabs of meat are more appetizing than the whole dead animal). I’ve seen medical gore and results to accidents, and they’re horrible and sad, but this video of dashcam footage, where you can’t see any gore, but can hear the husband scream and wail after seeing his wife was instantly killed by a cinder block that flew into the car, is way, WAY more haunting. (I don’t recommend watching the video, but I know how curiosity is, just prep yourself ig if you decide to search for it). Anyways thank you for tolerating my neuroscience/sociology rant XD

Charlie is the major problem in this story. In fairness to her I might not catch some of these things. Ex. seeing the spirit of her mother. It's actually pretty common after a loss for grieving individuals to see the dead loved one so that would seem normal to me and I might not pick up on the symbol either. However her general apathy torwards her children and their care is the big problem. Her son has a right to be pissed off at her and not trust her. Did she ever bother going to therapy with him? Her daughter is an absolute ungroomed mess. I know something was off with the girl, but does Charlie come her hair, give her baths, dress her in nice clothing? If she were a more attentive parent she might have better relationships with her children and might have saved her family. But her biggest fuck-up was the spell in an unknown language. I know she was desperate and overwhelmed, probably due to guilt but you don't go around doing spells, especially ones in foreign languages when you have no idea what they mean. Like none of the other stuff would have happened if she hadn't done the spell. Also for a quick rewind she shouldn't have let her mother take over looking after her daughter, I don't care how loving the grandmother is being. Anyone attempting to displace your maternal bond is up to no good, don't trust that 'ish.

The mother is in serious grief. On top of that the family has a predisposition to schizophrenia. She already has mental health issues. Those things stacked on top of each other are a bad storm. You also have to remember that in this world, spirits aren't actually accepted as real. A person so desperate in real life could try this. But spells aren't real. So they aren't actually suppose to do anything. This is just a world where it so happened to do something. unfortunately. But it's supposed to be the real world with real people acting realistically in an extreme time of desperation stacked with mental health issues already.

Ummm I think it’s easy to call them stupid but there is a lot of shit she didn’t know about her mother or know period because her mom didn’t want her to know that’s like wanting your kid to be able to read and write and have command of their language but never reading talking or practicing tiring with your child they gonna go to school behind. Annie was seeking all this out based on the newfound feeling to seek out her daughter. Her mother never wanted her to seek or know her.

What always seemed funny to me is what exactly did the cult want from Paimon. If we look at his actual roots in demonology, he isn't even really evil or demanding of blood sacrifices. He is mostly described as a demon that knows secrets of the world, nature, science, past/future events, etc. that he can just teach you. But it's never something groundbreaking or leading to world domination. It's more about mundane stuff. My favourite part is how he apparently can help you make friends. I know it's a movie, but it was always funny to me.

@sophiag612

Paimon is said to have knowledge of all secret things, including past and FUTURE events (that’s pretty useful), as well as the ability to reveal hidden treasures. I believe it’s most likely the cult wanted treasure/wealth (you see photos of the grandma being showered in gold in the movie) or to learn the abilities of immortality, etc. I don’t think every single cult wants total world domination but more selfish things lmao. It’s also a movie so it wouldn’t be far enough to think that he just wanted a body to give these people those things.

Then you haven't seen any good horror movies. For destrubing try something like Martyrs or Skinamarink. For Cinematography I suggest Sinster. The way they use the absolute pitch black backgrounds while he is watching the films will have you spending the whole movie focusing on it and waiting for something to happen.

annie trying to light her son on fire was her subconscious for sure. she didnt even want him. its almost like her body knew what her mother was planning. maybe its not that annie knew exactly what was going to happen, but considering her brother killing himself and claiming that his mom was trying to put people inside him (paimon), annie on some level knew something was going on. in a fucked up way she was trying to protect him, or trying to stop the impending doom that awaited her whole family

This is pretty crazy, but I did see a video that went into the details of the film. It's Much worse than what it appears as literally Every* character that interacted with the family during the movie was Part of the cult, from Peter's teacher to Joan to the girl Peter was trying to get with.

Even if she noticed all of these things, none of this is actionable. Like, ok, she finds out the cult is after her? What then? The only difference would be they wouldn't be so covert about it. She has no allies anywhere and, as you see if you look close, most of the town IS the cult by this point. She can't save her family. The best she could do was make sure the cult wouldn't win by killing her family, which is what her unconscious tries to get her to do at various points.

they had no chance whatsoever. charlie was already possessed by paimon as soon as she was born 😭 the cult’s final steps were to sacrifice annie (which was already extremely easy bc of how mentally vulnerable she was) and break down peter to move paimon to his body. the movie’s story was only about the cult’s completion of this 😭😭

So it’s been confirmed that the demon possessed Charlie ever since she was a baby and the real Charlie was somewhere in Hell. And when Charlie ate the cake, it was her attempt at suicide to release the demon spirit so he can possess the older brother.

I think that people forget that the mum was not mentally stable AT ALL in this movie, the strangeness started happening after her mum died- which even if you have a strained relationship is a very traumatic experience to go through. So while all these very blatant red flags are very identifiable to us the viewer and probably just the average person, to someone who is still trying to cope with an extremely traumatic experience, those same red flags aren't as clear and could be summed up to paranoia, grief etc. I don't think this family ever had a chance to beat the cult since none of them were either mentally sound enough to recognize the red flags or they didn't want to hurt the mentally unstable people more.
