You'll get tears from her sister at the very very end. Her daughter has a mental health illness as well- narcissism. Her mother, whom the family; including her daughter, repeats over and over again had an illness that should have kept her locked up and medicated, wants us to feel bad for her that she threw herself a 19th birthday party and her own graduation party?! Her "very ill" mother writes to her while getting treatment and all Cait can worry about is herself. Never shedding one tear. Self absorbed. Having a mentally ill mother, let me tell you, even in my middle age years, I can barely speak about her without tears running down my face, and my mother is still alive. It's a lot more about just the mental health community that set her free. You will actually witness, a daughter, the one thing Linda probably thought she had done right, have zero empathy, sympathy or moral compassion for her own mother.

I've slid down the rabbit hole

Warning: Spoilers
I just watched this movie for the first time. Never heard of it before or knew it was a remake. I purposely came to this site because the viewers are well read with director quotes which I have not personally read,and I like seeing other points of view. I watched the beginning 20ish minutes a second time unsure as to what to think of my initial feelings of the family and damn if they weren't still there. So the point of the movie was only to show that Americans are violence blind or obsessed? The fact that the actual violence off screen is suppose to show this? Hearing death and mourning are just as terrifying to me, but this is not my point. I immediately connected the boys to Leopold and Loeb. We saw this before in Hitchcock's Rope. The movie does an awesome job of setting up the family profile and their vacation quickly. I'm not sure about anyone else, but Naomi's character made me uncomfortable and awkward the way she treated him over eggs. Although she was polite enough, and him strange enough, I suppose if someone broke 4 eggs I had just handed them I wouldn't have thought twice to have given him 4 more. With the carton for Petes sake or a bowl to someone with gloves no less. Nor do I go around slapping people in the face for snarky comments. Especially when they are weird, your wife's been trying to tell you stuffs been going down,and there are 2 of them in your house and friends of these people you know. I kept waiting for the young psychopaths to elaborate on the begging for eggs and an unwarranted slap to the face as this is actually the first violent act we witness. There is a realness upon letting even this weirdo in your house. I mean he's with the peeps next door, and for politeness sake you wouldn't want to think too long before opening the door, but then that's the thing. When people start giving me the vibe, I'm not pushing buttons. Definitely if I've let them in my house. I'm still not sure that this point is mute. If the director feels Americans are fake polite and easily frustrated, as he does about how we see violence,anyway. I really was expecting a motive to come to light...they go around doing this to people who act selfishly to some eggs and are curt etc. What it just appears to be is these kids version of their movie real or imagined and that these are the type of people that deserve this. In their heads, they'd be funny about eggs when they could buy the farm. Humdrum rich kid problems, drugs, boredom or horrific acts of incest causing everyday polite young sociopaths to murder everyday polite rich white people who'd slap your face because they can. I don't think this movie guy thinks a lot about me. Maybe that's just the point. I'm not a gore fan, but love a thriller. Didn't think I was getting into a gory movie, but if you have any imagination gore is what you'll get. I came here to actually find a psychological meaning for the killing. It's like finding out Billy Squires Stroke Me isn't about stroking nothing but an ego from producers. So a pretty gruesome movie, made by a guy who says Americans either don't know it, or do and don't care. Well, he should know gore he just killed an entire family. Smh
