It is not open to interpretation.

Angie survives the assault in the crawlspace, she is then seen clean and sleeping on the cot, probably forces her to the same ordeal his uncle put him through, he digs two graves, one for his uncle, then one for Angie. She is dead by this point. After confronting and killing father, he goes back home and follows the routine of his uncle. Beer, cutting out news clipping which is of Angie's death. Leaves the house again. Opens garage door to exit with taxi, and so begins his journey of finding women to satisfy his new found 'taste'.

I thoroughly enjoyed this movie.

This movie is too silly to be realistic. A teenage boy who for years can't find one moment to remove the chain and escape the house?

When the police drives by he can't scream but writes help on the car?

Until the very end he wanted to save Angie and wasn't becoming a killer, then out of the blue he changes? Give me a break. Stupid story mediocre execution 5.9/10

You then should read the newspaper more, not so long ago a young girl in Germany was found Kampush or something like that was 8 years hold that way in a cellar. Perhaps you will scream when you are just abducted not after living like a dog for years. You're naive to think this doesn't happen or isn't realistic.

I understand getting rid of the wife, but a son?? They did looked like a happy family, i guess for someone it's just a business.
Then again he started a new family, i wonder if same faith would've awaited them as well

I agree... I think Angie was still alive at the end. Not going to speculate on what happened when he got back or long term but I think she was still alive. He went threw a lot of trouble to save her so I don't think he'd turn around and kill her.

I think IMO the whole scene with him outside was maybe about realizing that he would have had been raised by someone sick, either with his father or not.

Major flaw with the theory of him following his Uncle's footsteps - I dont see how he is gonna kidnap more women in the taxi since he cant actually drive.

I agree that his magical ability to drive to his dad's and back was a plot whole, but an even bigger one would be to assume he could make a living as a taxi driver, which is what his uncle also did.

Considering that so few films in this genre make me think or feel anything, this one wasn't bad, but it is disheartening when good filmmakers don't fix plot holes.

He doesn't kill Angie. He buries his uncle, then the camera pans back to show that he placed the clippings folder on his grave. Between the graves there are lower levels - that's what you're seeing, not that he dug multiple graves. In the end he might be cutting out news clippings - about his father's death. He's used to cutting out news clippings after someone was killed. So after he kills his father, he doesn't know what else to do, but cut news clippings.

I really have no idea how anyone could think Rabbit was gonna "follow in his Uncle's footsteps" at the end. Would he have gone through the trouble of saving Angie - putting himself at great risk doing so - if he even had the slightest urge to do what his Uncle did? The whole point was that a person can go through extreme ordeals that change them in very profound ways and still maintain some type of moral compass. Rabbit was obviously going to be very messed up in a lot of ways but the one thing he was never going to do was become a killer (well, of innocents anyway.. obviously he has to kill Bob).

I hated the twist by the way, almost ruined the whole movie, which I loved up until that point. So unnecessary. Movie should have ended at the logical point..after he kills his Uncle. Some resolution - be it ambiguous or not - only needed a few minutes.

Also disappointed wee didn't see what became of Angie. I mean I assume she lived but did she stay? leave? I bet there is a lot of stuff on the cutting room floor.

Did I miss something? The ending I saw was him coming back home after killing his father, and he opens/closes the garage door. That's it. No beer or cutting of clippings.

You have to sit through the credits and turn the sound up. It also helps to turn the subtitles on. No music is playing, just the sound of Rabbit moving around. You can definitely hear footsteps, the refrigerator door opening, scissors being used to cut paper and the garage door opening.

[–] clairecoopernz 12 years ago

I agree I saw the same Ending at your Crazee_108.....
Had the movie we seen been cut perhaps?

[–] supercyberedu 9 years ago

No, just listen the credits, there is no image and nobody talking but you can listen someone entering the house and opening the beer and all that suff.

I totally see it coming the part where the guy stabs the girl, and made it look like he killed her. He knew about the vital organs, he knew he had to do it or Vicent D' Onofrio would have killed her. And it was obvious he had to hide the body. I thought the movie was going to show him helping her on the next day when D'onofrio went for the new chair. Probably he did, but was not shown on the movie.

Now about the ending, it is obvious to me that he wouldn't kill the girl because he went to rescue her. He would not have killed Vicent because he cared about him. He saw him as a father even he did not liked him. Stockholm Syndrome maybe.
But he felt he had to kill him to put and end to all this madness or maybe he thought that D'onofrio killed the girl as she faked her death.
I don't think either that he would have kept her as a slave like his uncle did. It didn't match the profile, the guy seem to be very logical and never agreed with what D'onofrio was doing, besides he killed his mother.
It made sense him returning to the house as he did not have anywhere else to go.

I would like to know if the girl have stayed with him, not forced of course but somehow in love with him as he saved her. I expected her voice to be listened on the ending credit.

Why wouldn't kill uncle when he had many opportunities, because he is attached to him, or chained to him. That is my interpretation.

I enjoyed two movies from Jennifer Lynch, I will try to find more movies from her to watch.
