i didn't go back to check – but there's also the scene where the mother is in her bed praying/sobbing, and you see her through the gap in the curtains – I noticed something moving above her, just barely in the shot. thought maybe it was a mic or some other slip-up; but now i'm not sure – am going to check when i get home.

the final sequence is so masterful and beautifully shot, it makes the payoff ("yes, everything that has been implied IS TRUE") so much more impactful. I don't think it diminishes all the ambiguities - about the nature of sin/redemption, family lies and dissembling, puritan repression/oppression, "wicked" children - at all.
Anything involving the death of children or evil children is hard for my wife to take (altho she agrees this film is great), but I told her hey, she had to kill the entire family otherwise she would never be free of all that puritan bullshit

this shit was terrifying and unnerving. I watched it right after watching Hereditary. What a nice night I had.
