Shame her face was always CG though.Rikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04205172953473507574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5110147752122772426.post-64072313233682207582013-02-02T12:40:15.447-08:002013-02-02T12:40:15.447-08:00Maybe someone could help clarify a few things in t...Maybe someone could help clarify a few things in the movie that didn't make sense to me:<br /><br />1. Why didn't Mama kill the 2 guys who found the girls (wouldn't she view them as threats to the girls?)<br /><br />2. Shouldn't the maternal aunt (Jean) have equal custody rights to the kids (if not more) since Lucas is broke, not married, no job etc?<br /><br />3. ++ [spoiler] ++ Why didn't Mama try to kill the girls (by taking them down the cliff like she did at the end of the movie) the entire 5 years she had them before the girls were discovered?

He killed his co-worker and his wife and in panic hit the road with his daughters not knowing where he was going or what to do. <br /><br />After the crash and more internal struggle he decides to end his life (he puts the gun to his head), but then goes back out to his daughters. Perhaps in a want to kill them quickly instead of letting them suffer a slow death in the woods in an abandoned cabin. He was hardly thinking rationally at that point.<br /><br />As for not finding the car so soon, who knew where he went or that the car went off the side of a road on a mountain? It does beg the question why the trackers eventually searched that area, but the movie stays, probably intentionally so, vague on the subject.<br /><br />Also, I think the uncle being a twin was to facilitate the idea of Victoria, the older daughter, making a quick connection to Lucas. I think that was the uncle's name. That was the only point of him being a twin, to have Victoria quickly attach herself to the uncle after five-years of abandonment. Admittedly, the movie is soft on the idea and tries to sell it on one scene at the hospital after Lucas gives Victoria new glasses.<br /><br />Overall, I enjoyed the movie, but like you found some of the writing clunky and definitely some poor CGI at the end. I think I'll still recommend it to friends though.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5110147752122772426.post-22890373065750398112013-01-20T14:36:39.656-08:002013-01-20T14:36:39.656-08:00I mean in the five years between it.

If his company's troubles made the news, surely he'd be important enough to search for thoroughly in the days after his disappearance.BChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06480847497966171794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5110147752122772426.post-35157305880645937462013-01-20T14:08:52.246-08:002013-01-20T14:08:52.246-08:00I actually loved the movie, other than the appeara...I actually loved the movie, other than the appearance of Mama. That was pretty dissappointing. But I thought they did find the car. When the 2 investigators were out, and one was peeing by a tree he saw the wrecked car.

I played along for the first 2/3 of the flick but the ending wrecked it. they couldn't find the car, really? And the doctor's death was so predictable. And the aunt, what was that about? The last third wiped out any good will that it had built up to that point. Newmexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12451198419755469578noreply@blogger.com
