  FOR ATTENTION OF ALL WHO HAVE NUT ALLERGIES. Several have pointed this out so I'll pin this comment and save you the effort. The girl in the kitchen is chopping nuts, not vegetables. Charlie is allergic to nuts, so these probably end up in the cake she eats or the knife was used to cut the cake leading to her reaction. Thanks folks :)

  Annies scream when she finds Charlies body is one of the most horrifying things I've ever heard. TONI COLLETTE DESERVES AN OSCAR

  The naked guy smiling near the end can also been seen at the funeral in the background with the same sinister smile.

  When Peter isn't paying attention in class, his teacher talks about the death of Heracles, and debates whether it is more/less tragic a death because it's destined. A girl points out that it's more tragic because nothing the hero does can change his tragic fate, even if he took precautions. That entire scene sums up the whole movie.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IvYQyAkGe7M&amp;t=610">10:10</a> those aren&apos;t vegetables, those are clearly nuts, you know, for Charlie&apos;s allergy. It&apos;s totally relevant to the plot

  I think Charlie’s decapitation so early in the movie has got to be one of the best twists I’ve ever seen. I also think not enough kudos is given to the trailer of this movie which gave an impression that Charlie would be the source of the demonic activity and present throughout the whole movie. It emphasized the grandmothers funeral so much that I don’t think anyone was anticipating Charlie’s death, so when it happened you were left with such a feeling of dread. Amazing writing and editing!

  When Annie has that nightmare she says &quot;I was trying to save you&quot; which I think implies she knew about her mother&apos;s plot on some subconscious level and I think that&apos;s worth discussing.

  the layers of uncomfortable creepyness this movie throws at you is unmatched. Just by watching this video I got nervous because I am alone right now.

  I think it&apos;s so funny how many people didn&apos;t see Annie up in the corner of the ceiling in that scene with Peter... That&apos;s the one part of the movie that disturbed me the most!

  No one will probably see this but, Annie cuts her own head off with some sort of wire. When Peter comes down the stairs to find his dead dad, a broken piano with strings ripped out is shown. This kind of stuff is what can make movies so rewatchable.

  Right before the scene where Peter wakes up and finds his father’s body, the establishing shot of the house clicks from day to nighttime. I didn’t notice it in my first three viewings, but if you pay close attention to the shot of the house, dozens of naked cult members can be seen standing around the property. It’s a spooky image.

  After the daughter dies Annie is crying on the bedroom floor postrated like she will be at the end only headless and I think she say &quot;I want to die, I need to die&quot;.
