Lots of Questions Remain
22 February 2023
Warning: Spoilers
1. How did the mother survive giant scissors plunged in her mid back in the first place?

2. How does the shriveled mother survive in the shed feeding only on raw blended rats without getting violently ill and dying?

3. Throughout the movie it seems Alice lives several floors high in an apartment highrise, but at the end while Shelly appears standing outside the bedroom window with shrubbery in the yard, it's evidently the first floor.

4. Why didn't Alice ever notice her string of pearls was stolen by Shelly (which occurred after her first shift as her cleaning lady)?

5. How does Shelly constantly gain access to Alice's unit without owning a key?

6. Why does the Prime Video synopsis refer to Alice as a married woman? I kept looking for evidence of a husband.

7. What was the purpose of Shelly making a mask of Alice's face - just so she could lay in her own bathtub surrounded by candles pretending to be Alice?

8. How did Shelly ever get a job of any kind with such a creepy demeanor and unkempt hair?

9. Did Shelly resent Alice's efforts to pretty her up by applying makeup and letting her borrow the yellow sundress?

10. Why didn't Alice do anything with Shelly's hair that day?

11. Did the makeup session with Alice trigger Shelly's memories of her mom dressing her up for her forced tricks as a teen?

12. Why didn't Shelly just tie her mom's ankle to her own bed with shackles and pimp her out to see how she likes it? She could have made big bucks (although she was old).

13. Whatever happened to Alice's boyfriend's body after Shelly forced her to cut his throat with a knife? It happened in Alice's apartment. Wouldn't someone have heard the screams?

14. What does Shelly hope to gain by shackling Alice to her bed in her apartment and prostituting her out? Enough money to repair her burned face? That won't work. Even if it could, nothing can fix Shelly's creepy demeanor and zero social skills - so she won't get a husband either way.

15. Also, won't Alice's friends, family and support group notice she missing in short order?

16. Shelly cannot summon johns for Alice with that face and demeanor and lack of verbal and social skills. Also, the minute any john sees Alice shackled to the bed by Shelly, they would have Shelly arrested. Even johns have more decency than that. They would become Alice's hero and become her new forever beau.
