Great points. The Irish weren't considered white by white Americans when they first started migrating to this country.

I grew up in NYC. That's why I feel the Sony Walkman was the greatest invention known to women. Whenever I walked down the street or got on the train, I made sure my headphones were planted firmly over my ears. Most of the time there was nothing playing (I needed to hear what was going on around me). I would say it…

*Slaps self in forehead* You're right, the burning house at the end was not the same. Also, Elias set curtains on fire. But all of the windows in the house were covered with blinds.

Yes, what was up with that?

The scenery was beautiful. I really loved the house. I just might watch it again to see the house.

I think the scene with the priest confirmed she wasn't an impostor. Elias asked to be driven to the police station and asked if the priest would explain his story to the police. The priest said he would but he took Elias home instead. At the house, the priest interacted with the mother as if he knew her.

Yes, you're right, the camera does pan away and he cut her accidentally.

I agree. I just watched it. There were some scenes where I watched through the spaces of my fingers which were held up against my eyes. However, it is more psychological terror than gruesome terror. I think the "torture" scenes were necessary.
