2 | [[caption-width-right:350:Hello there!]] |
3 | |
4 | * The intro where Dollface and Pin-Up Girl stalk Uncle Marv and his wife before killing them off-screen. |
5 | * The kids finding their aunt and uncle's disfigured corpses. |
6 | * In a way, Dollface being unmasked comes off as super creepy. Just seeing this otherwise [[TheyLookJustLikeEveryoneElse normal young woman]] turning out to be a remorseless monster that murdered someone's mother in front of them in unsettling. |
7 | ** The worst part is when Kinsey asks Dollface why they are doing this to her and her family. Dollface's blunt response? [[ForTheEvulz "Why not?"]], with a sadistic SlasherSmile. That was enough for Kinsey to shoot Dollface in retaliation for killing her mother. |
8 | * This scene: |
9 | --> '''Kinsey:''' Leave us alone! |
10 | --> '''Pin-Up Girl:''' *appears ''right next to her''* [[ItHasOnlyJustBegun But we've just started]]. |
11 | ** It's actually a lot more terrifying that aside from Dollface, it's ''rare'' to hear Pin-Up Girl speak, especially in regards to the first film. |
12 | * The ending, which is either a product of Kinsey's paranoia, or a hint that the nightmare may not actually be over. |
13 | ** Or considering ''all three'' of the Strangers died (Pin-Up Girl being stabbed to death by Luke, Dollface being shot in the head, and The Man in the Mask set on fire and getting his neck snapped with a baseball bat), it's possible Kinsey is completely [[BrokenBird scarred from her experience]] and her mind is making her believe that Dollface has returned. |
