* TragicMonster: Horrific appearance and violent tendencies aside, the film goes out of its way to depict the Mother as a sympathetic figure who never had a choice but to become what she is, and Tess's shooting of her at the end is framed as a MercyKill to end her miserable existence.

Frank appears to hoard all of the recordings, which involves the rape, torture, and possible murders of his victims, that he made, which appears to be in the hundreds. What he intended to do with these tapes leaves little to the imagination.
