* In the movie, the final scene shows Melinda being driven home by her mom after Andy attacks her in the closet. As they arrive home, Melinda’s mom says she doesn’t have to talk about what happened if she doesn’t want to but Melinda says she does in fact want to. As Melinda reveals what happened to her one year before, we see see the subtle pained expression play out on her face as she realizes just how traumatic the last year has been for her daughter. It’s heartwarming to finally see her mother listen and Melinda finally be able to speak about what happened to her.
