>The scene where Suzy and our villain meet for the first and
>>last time. Tucci really goes there, and it's VERY fucked up.
>>Thank the Lord they didn't go grittier into details, because
>I
>>was extremely uncomfortable as it was.
>
>The PG-13 rating was a savior there

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

>>2. The scene where Mark Wahlberg and our villain meet. Some
>>fantastic acting in this scene by both men, and considering
>>Wahlberg's performance is very uneven, it says something
>about
>>his potential when he contributes heavily to the best acted
>>scene.
>
>I thought the previous scene you mentioned with Suzy & the
>killer was had better acting. But what happened in that scene
>that convinced Mark that he was the killer?

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.

>>3. The scene (given away in the trailer) where the sister
>>breaks into the villain's house is quite possibly the most
>>suspenseful scene in any film I've seen all year. Expertly
>>handled.
>
>Why does he stop chasing her once they get out of the house
>tho?

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
>>finds. ENORMOUSLY unsettling.
>
>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.
