No kidding. I thought it was pretty fucking disturbing for PG-13 too, really.

He had a vision in the rose that he felt was a sign from Suzy that he was the killer. And since he already had his suspicions, he looked up and saw it in dude's face.

Well once she jumps the fence and is a good few steps ahead of him, he knows she ain't catching her... she's like a state champion runner or whatever athlete she was written up in the newspaper for. So he decides instead of trying in vain to get her to gather his shit, ditch the evidence, and skip town.

>>4. The first time Suzy returns home after dying and what she

>Big time. I did not wanna see that towel come off his face.

Ugh. I couldn't even believe the movie took it there. That whole scene... Jesus.
