Several plot logic loopholes

1. Why did Annie give birth to charlie? Didn't she try her best to miscarry when she was pregnant with Peter? I didn't want to have children, so I gave birth to two. --Okay, the unintended pregnancy is reluctant to explain, but in fact it doesn't look like her relationship with steven.

2. Why is Annie willing to hand over charlie to her current care, knowing that her mother is potentially dangerous to the children? In Western society, any normal mother would never leave her child to someone else to raise. Annie also knew that her mother had tried to perform the paimon possession ritual on her brother, which caused her brother to commit suicide. In order to prevent her from reaching her son Peter, she would not let her mother approach Peter, so Annie was wary of her mother. It's also very strong on its own. According to the introduction, Annie felt guilty, so she gave Charlie to her mother to raise her. However, through Annie's speech to her mother's funeral, and when she returned home from the funeral, she asked Peter "should we be sad?" There is not much love, no love, how can there be guilt? Some people say that Annie has a split personality and sometimes obeys her mother. But the split personality is temporary, it won't be split for 13 years (charlie's age), and it will always be submissive? And Steven, as the child's father, can actually agree to give his own flesh and blood to others?

3. The cultists are so powerful, why do they engage in so many idiots? Isn't their purpose to gather the number of sacrifices, and then let paimon possess it? It can be done directly with a big move. . Especially the death of charlie took so much trouble. . So many moths, hey, it's purely to scare the audience on purpose

    Encapsulating an inhuman subject (the calling of the gods) in a humanized story (a family fell apart due to an accident), this has fundamentally destroyed the movie

    Hope there is as much disappointment as there is a series

Hereditary quotes

  • Peter: You okay, Mom?

    Annie: What?

    Peter: Is there something on your mind?

    Annie: Is there something on *your* mind?

    Peter: Just seems like there... might be something you... wanna say.

    Steve: Peter.

    Annie: Like what? I mean, why would I wanna say something so I can watch you sneer at me?

    Peter: Sneer at you? I don't ever sneer at you.

    Annie: Oh, sweetie, you don't have to. You get your point across.

    Peter: Okay, so, fine, then say what you wanna say, then.

    Steve: Peter.

    Annie: I don't wanna say anything. I've tried saying...

    Peter: Okay, so try again. Release yourself.

    Annie: Oh, release you, you mean?

    Peter: Yeah, fine, release me, just say it! Just fucking say it!

    Annie: DON'T you swear at me, you little shit! Don't you EVER raise your voice at me! I am your mother! You understand? All I do is worry and slave and defend you, and all I get back is that fucking face on your face! So full of disdain and resentment and always so annoyed! Well, now your sister is dead! And I know you miss her and I know it was an accident and I know you're in pain and I wish could take that away for you. I WISH I could shield you from the knowledge that you did what you did, but you're sister is dead! She's gone forever! And what a waste... if it could've maybe brought us together, or something, if you could've just said "I'm sorry" or faced up to what happened, maybe then we could do something with this, but you can't take responsibility for anything! So, now I can't accept. And I can't forgive. Because... because NOBODY admits anything they've done!

  • Annie: I never wanted to be your mother.

    Peter: Why?

    Annie: I was scared. I didn't feel like a mother. But she pressured me.

    Peter: Then why did you have me?

    Annie: It wasn't my fault! I tried to stop it.

    Peter: How?

    Annie: I tried to have a miscarriage.

    Peter: How?

    Annie: However I could. I did everything they told me not to do, but it didn't work. I'm happy it didn't work.

    Peter: You tried to kill me.

    Annie: No, I love you!

    Peter: [crying] Why did you try to kill me?

    Annie: I didn't! I was trying to save you!
