A few questions
Why would his sister take him back to the murder scene as soon as he got out of mental institution? Like that can't be good for him.
Why didn't she tell the authorities he shot his dad because he was about to murder everyone? He got institutionalized for that. That's *beep* up his sister just let it happen.
The movie was all right but I can't get past some of these glaring problems with the plot.
For the first question, because she only had a few days before she was supposed to be sending the mirror to whoever bought it, so she felt she had to just throw him in at the deep end so they could get on with it.
For the second...she probably did tell them that. But Tim was screaming "It wasn't me, it was the mirror!" at the cops so that didn't help them think he was sane.
Yeah I thought that was horrible of her too. Her brother could've just got on with his life okay and forgotten about the mirror. I don't get why she wanted to do her experiment thing, after having experienced such trauma as a kid an knowing what the mirror could do. It made no sense at all.
If I were her and I really wanted to destroy it, I'd have just gotten the guys who were meant to be transporting it blinding drunk and then asked them to carry it down some stairs.
Agreed. I'm happy I'm not alone. Even if she had it for that small span of time. Her brother legit just got out the crazy house for believing a mirror possessed his father and mother. And I think ate his dog...
I know she knows it was the case, but the brother casted some reasonable doubt on her case. Saying she wanted to believe it. Though the proof does seems obvious the mirror is possessed.
Still... This traumatic event literally crippled his life while she lived seemingly luxuriously from her inheritance. Yet, she just wants to rail road him back into the *beep*
Again, what a terrible sister.

Kaylie didn't know Tim had forgotten about the mirror, remember he refused to see her in the months leading up to his release. In her mind he was on the same page as her, remember the promise they made to 'kill' the mirror?
Kaylie did tell the authorities. When she was explaining to Tim why she has to film the documentary she asks him to remember all the people that treated them like they were crazy when they said the mirror had done it all.
The authorities did know that the father killed the mother and chained her up, so they knew Tim had justifiable cause. I don't think Tim was held for any criminal charges just for the fact that he was visibly psychologically traumatized by the event and possibly dangerous. It took ten years of therapy for him to finally go along with the doctors explanation of events that the dad had just gone nuts and the mirror wasn't evil. Then they deemed him sane and let him go.
Why do people so frequently get told to read the book on a movie database?
She could of been driven mad as child or somehow still controlled by it, her entire life was that mirror. She was not a bad person but her schooling, job, marriage were all just a means to get at the mirror. I dont think she loved her husband like he loved her. Even if she did "beat" the mirror I say she would wake up the next morning feel completely empty inside with no sence of direction in her life.
shareHe wasn't crazy. He was in a mental institution because nobody believed his story.
