Also it doesn’t make sense because it seems that they didn’t even KNOW that they couldn’t leave the property/live without it until the day she went to the pub and he read it in the journal. So again, why didn’t they try to have a somewhat normal life all those years, as long as they never got too close to anyone or brought them back to their property, it works seem that they could have gone to other towns and gone to a bar every now and then, or to play bingo or whatever folks do in them there parts. I can understand why they couldn’t continue to go to the same town, as the locals would notice that these two never age.

What really bothered me most, and may be the thing that I find the most unforgivable in this film is that supposedly they’d been there for who knows how long, but they never bothered to read the journal that was right in a dresser drawer until 100 or so years into it??? (coincidentally at that exact time). I mean the sheer boredom alone, you would have gone through every nook and cranny and read anything and everything there. Speaking of which… why no books or instruments or knitting or any sort of entertainment for themselves. Why are they living in such lonesome misery? Lol

Anyway, despite all of that, I really did enjoy this movie, but had I not come here I wouldn’t have quite understood it correctly. I was thinking that maybe if they got someone else to take their place (like give a soul/take a soul) that maybe they could leave. That’s why I came searching for clarity and found this cool blog. Now I’m going to poke around check out your other recommendations.

2. In the beginning you see the wife with the bottle then the two hikers, husband comes and takes them. Are they the same guys that get shot by the cancer girl?

I’m confused bcuz you see them in the end when she wakes up and reads the note.
