    9:19 I think this shows the cause of their mother killing them. From left to right, messy eating, kissing a frog, unknown(but im guessing from getting hurt), getting his clothes dirty. There's also clues in what greatly triggers her anger such as messy eating, the frog, the child getting blood in the house, and finally the clothes getting dirty.

    I think mark saying "mommy" means he knew what was going to happen because most people (especially children) are at a loss for words when a traumatic event happens and the fact that mark said mommy shows that he knew, probably because the ghosts of the other kids told him.

    This was brilliant story telling and metaphors. The use of representation of the other children being his lost siblings so close but so out of reach for him. The fact that they clearly made the twist clear and hardly up to interpretation was something I can appreciate. I find a lot of short horror is left up to interpretation, which is fine. But having a clear cut twist is refreshing.

  • @jaynoir6618
    @jaynoir6618 Před 9 měsíci +20

    My take on this was what everyone else’s was but I was surprised nobody talked about what bobbin for apples also means in Druid history. When you cut open an Apple it has a pentagon(in a sense) and they use to do “bobbing” for apples in a ritualistic way where during Halloween they sacrificed people. I don’t recall what for but it seems the same way in this story. She must’ve killed each kid near Halloween as a sacrifice, but also because their dirty? If you notice on the calendar there’s a cut open Apple where you can see the seeds. 5 seeds. 5 children murdered. Idk the correlation but I found it interesting.

  • @manishamahanandia2468

    I think she killed the boy because he found out what his mother had done to his siblings. That's why he didn't say much when he came home.. And also the apples that are in the bowl or whatever represent five kids being murdered in the bathtub.. It really scared me! It was brilliant

    Very effective atmosphere for this one, the claustrophobic but sheltering aspect of the house, the almost agoraphobic behavior of the mother, and the camera angles all played well into telling the story. This was something Sterling-esque, a dread hanging over the whole scene. You had a sense that something terrible was about to happen, then were given the notion that something terrible had already happened, and this was just a repeat. Great perfromances by all involved, especially the young people. Special props to Luke Walford for an effective portrayal of the doomed boy. Thanks for sharing this amazing work.

    KAY SO HERES MY THEORY:
    all the children or 'childer' once were the mother's children who she all killed because they were 'dirty.' You can find out how one of the children dies because of the quote, 'my sister kissed a frog once, she's dead now.' this implies that one of the children was killed by the mother after kissing a frog. (i found this out because there were the same amount of children as the number of cabbages in the cabbage patch, and because of the quote, 'Go home. We are home,' and 'It's nearly November, why aren't they dead yet?') when the boy was playing with those same children, they told him what his mother had done to them, which is why he didn't say much of anything once he got home, one the mother realized that he knew, she had to drown him. afterwards, when the woman steps outside, you can hear a quiet humming, which i think was the little boy, who had after his death, had joined the childer. If u have anything to add please leave a comment and tell me what you think of this theory!
    Edit: So also i have something else to add. i think that the bit where she says 'I'll make u a ghost,' was foreshadowing to when she kills him. so ya not really much of stuff we dont know but i'd figure i'd put it out there

      Only issue with the theory, while as sound as it is, is where does she get the children from to begin with. The postman or adoption? May be that she is in limbo haunted by her past life. This would explain the constant greenery appearing, the children coming to haunt her, the postman (possibly the father) coming back, and overwhelming ocd. Constant ocd could mean that she neglected her family, health and passed away. She relives this constant limbo as a reminder to what she neglected in life.

      To answer your question - it's subtle hints to an eventual outcome that don't seem as significant as they are when you hear it the first time. So the mom saying "I'll make you a ghost" is a hint that she will eventually actually make him a ghost, by killing him; it seems obvious in retrospect, but in the moment you hear it, it is not obvious.

    Actually, we learned in psychology class that the obsession of dirt and dust is mostly linked to a fear of sex that is seen as something disgusting..that would explain how the mother treats the mailman when he attempts to flirt, and also the metaphor of cabbages (a tale often told to children when they ask about sex, to cover the reality). It's like this mother still sees it as something shameful. Her children (the dead ones and the one alive) are accepted because they came in a "clean, innocent " way : from cabbages. And when she kills the last one, she plants a new cabbage to get a new kid but the boy won't let her, it's like : "you killed enough mum, this gotta stop".

    The bobbing for apples reference was inductive of her drowning her fifth kid. The other 4 were the souls of her the 4 she already killed, toying with her. Which is why in the end, that kids favorite toy is tossed at her house.

    "Go home"
    "We are home"
    "Its nearly November why arnt they dead yet?"
    "My sister kissed a frog once she's dead now"
    There's so much attention to detail here. I mean the number of cabbage plants is the same as the childern. And the reference of pregnancy and the mail man all fit so well. I believe towards the end of the film she's getting ready for a date with the mailman . I think the childern are vengeful spirits that taunt her

    I know this is a horror film, but with her obsessive cleaning, it makes me think of how awful OCD can be, in it's own way it can truly be a prison.
    Great film. ❤

    I feel like this kind of covers ocd as in the obsession of cleaning and makeing sure everything is perfect and prestine, You can see how she easily gets anxious over the smallest things. And when she yelled at her kid she soon realized what she was doing, but at the same time she feels like she can’t control it.
