I was thinking fuel leak, but the shots of the bear burning suggest otherwise. It's certain that none of the adults in S1 know about Misty and the flight recorder, and the mushrooms were passed off as a misunderstanding. Maybe someone wanted the Christian of the group out the way?
Just finished it, and read about S2 before I'd got to the end. It certainly changed my expectation. At least the 19 month timeline gives some hope for an ending. Let's see how it holds up.
The red light was flashing. Those things are designed to work after an aircrash, but don't always have a locator.
I was going to say the same thing. The house was certainly glowing or burning at the end. Maybe the other posters here are right though, about them moving to waste ground for the final scene. It's not the smoothest transition from I to II.
She was approached by the director to be in Blue, so maybe the prostitute or lover was her intended part. Or indeed to play the lead. Ultimately though, she ended up in White, with just the small courtroom cameo here.
Good point. Maybe she liked keeping away from publicity, so didn't want credit for her/their work. Maybe the sense of liberty was being able to start her life over. Perhaps Olivier would start taking the credit for any newer work.
Every government has tried this down the years. Check out Banshee Chapter if you haven't seen it.
Was just going to post about this, then saw I wasn't the only one to notice.

So no genuine thought to how media and TV can be used to control and manipulate an audience?
He might be reassuring her, or reassuring himself. But he's been programmed to kill her, even if he doesn't know it.
Everyone's view is a bit skewed by this point in the film.
I don't think they had sex. Gilles was still clothed when he woke up alone.
Do we see her clothes again at the end?
She didn't kill herself. She just left on her own, and the commune probably didn't exist. No idea where she would end up.
Yes. She left him. The note was just blank paper, but served as acknowledgement that leaving Gilles was a conscious act.
I wonder if the commune existed, or was it just a reason she could use to leave.
People don't sometimes. She was probably busy with academia while he was busy with architecture. Maybe they let each other get on with their own things.
She was angry. That's why?
This was the early/mid 70s, where janitors and handymen could be a lot less PC.
Everyone admitted the matron was overly strict on the nurses.
Men tended to be in positions of power then, and were trying to control/cover up a serious abuse scandal.
The abusers/rapists were there as the basis for the plot. Not much of a film without them.
The janitor said himself that he could mess around on the night shift, and how many staff would ever see his room with the polaroids?
The female characters weren't thick.
Look at how life was in the 70s, rather than approaching this as a generic horror/chiller with a feminist agenda.
She couldn't remember anything from the accident, but it had allowed the demon in. I don't think it was meant to represent nothingness, rather than that was what she remembered, and what her husband hoped would return after killing himself.
It began as the classic ghost story, then allowed the supernatural elements to take over. Glad it didn't turn into a gore/cliche ending.
I watched it last night and liked it. Why didn't you? 'Full on bad' is a rather harsh opinion.
...or does she consider amnesia as a reason for what happened with her sister, rather than it being implied as fact? So much of the second half seems left to the imagination.
They were serious mobsters/gangsters who weren't afraid to use violence, and needed to silence everyone who knew about the robbery scheme. The violence seems worse as it often appears out of nowhere. The Driver knew what the guy in the lift was there for, so had to finish him off. As for Blanche, I imagine that's what a shotgun would do at close range.
