Three possibilities for the ending; one is that Sister Barnes was able to have enough strength to kill Mr. Reed, another is that Paxton's prayers actually worked and Barnes was able to be resureccted to kill Reed (this is possible because of the Christian symbolism of him literally being killed with a wooden board with three nails), the third (and I think the most likely) is that everything that happens after Paxton is stabbed isn't actually real and is a hallucination she is experiencing while she is bleeding out and dying (the symbolism for this possibility is the butterfly appearing and disappearing at the end). The emphemeral light that Paxton sees at the very end could either be part of this hallucination (the whole "walk into the light" thing), or her genuinely entering some sort of afterlife. I actually asked the directors Beck and Woods at a Q and a A session about this after a screening of the film that I went to in Utah, and they just said that just like religion in general, it's completely open to interpretation. PS It's worth noting that both Sophie Thatcher and Chloe East were raised in Mormon familes in real life. As such, they are BY FAR the most realistic and accurate depictions of Mormons in a movie that I've ever seen (I'm actually and Ex-Mormon myself, and it's scary how good they are).
@@LockeDemosthenes2 I thought when Reed slashed her throat, he didn’t slash far enough for her to instantly bleed out, so she was able to attack him with her last burst of strength.
The Butterfly tragically being a hallucination goes back to the science fact that people dying experience distortion - like seeing "White light" as brain shuts down, the ending implies a very Nihilistic construct.
Thank you for being intelligent and patient enough to understand the truer meaning of the movie I’m so fascinated by this movie because the older I get the more I realize how religion itself is truly all about control. It’s so fascinating when you think about it , sister Paxton goes deeper into the house it’s like she’s digger deeper in a deep dive for the truth as the guy is saying what is the true religion. Him believing that there isn’t one is his opinion, I believe in God and have my own personal experiences that were very spiritual and real. So yeah lol :) anyways thanks for the reaction man
it really is about control. If you need need someone/something to believe in, you'd believe in your own morals and ethics instead of listening to others. Your own made up version of religion should suffice, and if it doesn't and you're lost then sure, religion has its place (You gain control in your life by following what others do.)
I also agree that the movie was a bit underwhelming and predictable after it changed to a full-on horror movie. The actors were good, but the movie doesn’t add up to much.
I agree with you. Their conversation was the best part of the film and it should've lasted until the end. Have you ever seen Stephen Fry talking about religion? His speech was a part of some debate. I highly recommend it. Thanks for your reaction! 🫶❤️
Mr. Reed sort of seems like an evil version of Stephen Fry, Richard Dawkins, and Christopher Kitchens if they were combined into one person and was also a homicidal sociopath.
Good movie, could’ve had a better second half…

How did you watch a majority of this movie thinking he's just a bit creepy but no killer?? 😆 I knew from the start.
You have the 1st one on YT 🎉

It was not a horror movie imo
