Ugh. Look at her all dolled up in red like she's about to go out for a night on the town. You can tell how much SHE mourned for the death of her daughter. Pfft.
@atheist382 its horrifying because you find out the terrible way that she was killed. also because the ghost was throwing up on his tent earlier, so this explains that.
Such a good Munchausen-Syndrome-By-Proxy example in movies, and in my opinion, the watching of the video tape is the scariest scene in the whole thing, and the best dramatic filmmaking, with the slow zoon in on the screen at the moment of the poisoning, and the slow zoom in on the father while a group of mourners stands behind him. The final highly pixelated image of the daughter, now dead, on screen. "And don't say that it tastes funny..." Just...chilling. So much better than the Willis stuff.
"Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy, Munchausen by Proxy Syndrome oder FDP Factitious Disorder by Proxy": the guidelines even say the only possibility to diagnose it is recording it by a video....
@flyinH1gh She can't be the real mom with a rare disorder, it complicates things. It's easier if she's the Step Mother that wants the dad and his money but not the kids, i mean, just look at the guys house. And she's not wearing red because she wants attention, the color signifies that she's a villain (like in most movies).
And there's yet another sign: she's pretty. Real moms are NEVER pretty, evil step mothers always are.
@corkydog71 I don't really watch TV. Which includes news or whatever you're talking about. If something is really important, I hear it from the the people around me; but when it's not, It always comes from people on youtube.
@ASKALAPHUS how does a mother with a disorder complicate things? she wanted attention. Münchausen syndrome by proxy is a disorder that multiple people have. its not all that rare. and it can occur in mothers. its a way for them to get all of the attention. i agree the red signifies the evil within her. and @flyinH1gh lets not bring up the casey anthony trial. these arguments are completely separate of each other
Probably been said before, but she's wearing red not just because she's got Munchhausen and loves the attention, but also because red is this film's holy grail (read up on in)
Why on earth would you poison your own daughter??!!?? If you wanted her to die what would make you want to birth a child in the 1st place??!!!?? Some people have no brains!!!! :(
this scene and moreso the bit in the car (where the kids tells his mum his secret about his grandma) are the most powerful in the movie. great scenes both amazingly acted.
where though, did the camera recording this come from? there wouldnt have been one unless ghosts can go back in time and film events..makes no sense but then the whole big twist of the film is ludicrous and stupid so...
After this scene, when the little girl (the dead girls sister) asks "Is Kyra coming baaack....." with a broken voice it totally makes me wet my eyes, every time x'(
Its not only the great acting on the part of the dad but the actress who played the mother as well. The cold callous look on her face at 4:10 as if to say...."so what?" is just haunting.
My god. I've seen this movie once, today, but that scene was so horrible and brilliant that I needed to see it again. She murdered her own daughter to get attention.
Watching the video, and seeing what the mother was doing shocks you. Seeing the look on the father's face break's you. And seeing the mother all dressed in red angers you.
Man, watched this last night with wife (her first time) and in this scene she was just frozen, then quietly after it , turned to me and said "jesus christ" Man it still gave me chills!!
What is particularly astonishing is how still, after many viewings, it manages to send frost of the backbone. There is poetry in this film. Of how many thrillers can that be said. It transcends the genre, the way Chinatown transcends film noir capers.
i really wanna know what happened after this... too bad they didn't show it in the movie... i like to think that everyone got so shocked and mad that they beat her to death, a very slow, painfull death
she did it because she has Munchhausen Syndrome, which means she basically loved the attention and sympathy she was getting from other people because of her sick daughter. That's why she periodically poisoned her daughter which eventually killed her.
I think you mean "Munchhausen Syndrome by Proxy" as she was harming the child, while "Munchhausen Syndrome" by itself means that they themselves feign sickness to get attention.
@flyinH1gh Sufferers of Munchhausen Syndrome feign illness and seek attention from MEDICAL professionals, they don't kill people to get sympathy at funerals. She was not the real mother. Your comment is full of fail and wrong.
@Decimus78 actually i simplified the explanations of this condition so people who doesnt know bout it can understand it better and secondly i did not say "they kill people to get sympathy at funerals."
It is true that there are incidents people feign illness to develop relationships with their doctors but that is not what MSP is entirely known for. In the end its all about getting attention from others.
@Decimus78 She didn't kill her daughter on purpose. The mother was poisoning her to get attention and sympathy from others. She must have given her too much or didn't anticipate the damage she was doing, but I'm fairly certain the death was an accident. "Münchausen syndrome by proxy (MSbP) is a label for a pattern of behavior in which care-givers deliberately. . . induce physical, psychological, behavioral, and/or mental health problems in others."
@ToxicJoon No, that is an interesting thing you say, but I think the truth was much simplier. It was the girl´s stepmother, not her own mother, who wanted to get rid of the kids (remember how the people who attended the funeral party said to each other: "Have you heard? The little girl is now sick, too..."; meaning Kyra was the older one). I think, when I think of this, that she married the kid´s father for money and planned to kill the husband, too, so she aone would have the money.
@Calucifer13 Why does it HAVE to be your explanation? The argument that it HAS to be simple is itself a stupid one. Both would work. Stop being an idiot.
