why didn't they kill terri in a less violent and conspicuous manner?
why draw attention to it?
sharewhy draw attention to it?
shareMaybe they just put a hex on her that put the idea of suicide in her head and she choose how she died.
They didn’t seem very shocked to see the police there when they came upon the scene though so this makes me also think they probably knew how she was going to die.
She wasn't killed. The Castavets told her about their plans for her; Terri killed herself in despair at their betrayal of her trust. Minnie and Roman wanted her alive.
shareyou might be right now that i think of it.
shareHe's definitely right. You can tell based on the context of the conversation Roman and Minnie have after her death (which is heard by Rosemary and Guy through their walls)
Roman chose to tell Terri and she became so horrified thay she killed herself
Pay attention to how Terri describes herself and the Castavets in the laundry room scene. It reveals a lot. She sees herself as close to a hopeless case and she sees the Castavets as extremely good people who saved her
The shock of finding out that these same people had impregnated her with Satan Jr. and that she was supposed to accept this, with the alternative being that she go back on the streets to her old life of drug use WITH a Satan baby, was eno for her to choose to off herself
I love this movie and I read the book. The story is filled with a lot of little details that are easy to miss but which add way more layers of creepiness. Almost every single line in every scene reveals clues about the ways in which Terri and Rosemary were fooled and manipulated
If this is true then why are the Castevet’s so blazé about her death? When they show up to the corpse they seem curiously relaxed - lending credence to the idea that they murdered her.
I just posted on this subject. The more I think about, the more it seems like the best explanation.
Someone else wrote the suicide note. After she diesk that's when their interest in Rosemary really begins.
