I know this is empty and I don't know if anyone will come here. I wish IMDb still existed! Anyway, thoughts? I found this movie to be pretty interesting/strange. It felt too short, even, I wished it were longer.
For the most part, I think I kinda got it, but not entirely....still a lot of loose ends.
So, I think a lot of the uncle Keith's shenanigans and trying to intimidate Ryder...all that was really just him acting out vengeance for the fact that his sister (Ryder's mom) sexually abused him when they were kids. Maybe in some twisted way he wanted to show Ryder who she "really" was, too.... But I can't figure out how much was orchestrated by him or not. Obviously the part when Molly took Ryder to the river...we see Keith whispering to her beforehand, so that whole river scene was a set-up. But what about the initial scene in the barn? Why WAS there blood on Molly? Was it her period? I mean, even if the dad had staged that, it doesn't explain the blood. And why did the daughter know how to do the chicken game? The dad must have taught her, which is still creepy in itself.
And why did Molly say it wasn't her real family? And why did she ask Ryder if his dad (the Jewish one) wasn't his real dad? Was the incest beyond just as kids...did the mom and uncle have sex and have Ryder? Or was that just to create suspicion?
Lots of unanswered questions, really. However, at the root of it, I get that the uncle Keith was trying to manipulate the situation to get some vengeance and prove a point about the fact the mom/sister abused him when they were kids. So the "Go back home, California pervert!" on the car secretly was probably really aimed at the mom -- not Ryder. The dad was basically using Ryder (and Molly) to get back at the mom.
