Right hand click on the video, a box box should pop up. Second one down should say, copy video URL at current time.

SPOILERS (I can't put the shadow thing on since I'm on my phone)






The son isn't actually paralyzed. He's pretending to be to get his mothers attention and when Jacob tremblay shows up he gets jealous and traps him in the house

reply

How does that end up? Kill the son? Paralyze him for real? Watts adopts Tremblay?

reply

she ends up killing her son and then adopting the little boy

I saw a preview screening months ago. There's no way I'm ever going to watch again it was so bad, so I was wondering about the end, if it changed. The ending I saw was this - There was a struggle at the lake, stepson was finally killed and floated to the bottom as police arrived. Epilogue was Naomi and Jacob driving in a car and stopping at a hospital to visit someone. Reveal that stepson is there, now in an apparent real brain damaged catatonic state. The audience laughed at that so I was wondering if ending now is different.


it rubs the lotion on its skin or else it gets the hose again

That would've been better IMO. But it doesn't sound THAT horrid of a twist?

reply

I haven't seen this and have no intention of ever doing so, but I'm curious; how does that work, exactly? The kid wouldn't be able to process the plan when he was a baby-child, so he had to have been moving around at some point, and I presume a healthy kid didn't go out, buy a wheel chair, and just stop moving until his mom went along with it. Was there an accident that didn't actually paralyze him but he managed to convince his mom (and I guess some hospital staff somewhere) that it did? Did he fake a disease that takes hold later and slowly paralyzes him?

In the beginning he and his dad were in an accident as they were driving son to boarding school. Son caused the accident. Dad was killed. Son was (faking) brain damaged, not paralyzed

reply

Why was he faking and what did he gain from it?

reply

He had an obsession with his step-mom. He loved having her all to himself and felt threatened when the young boy was getting her attention. Plus he killed Doug, the neighbor that wanted to date her.

MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD....



Naomi Watts character throws an air tank in a great white shark's mouth. She then says "Smile, you son of a bitch", then shoots the airtank, blowing up the shark. There is also an extra scene after the credits where she blows up the Death Star in an X-Wing fighter!!!!...Hope that helps! : - )
