Devoid of social messages and full of amorality, this prequel is pure dopamine.
But Leena has miscalculated, assuming that Esther did in fact go missing. Leena, it turns out, picked the right mother to put her in the wrong motherfucking place. Esther isn’t missing, but dead as a result of “some sibling bullshit that went too far,” according to Tricia, who helped her son Gunnar cover up his sister’s death and then reported her as missing.
Tricia, then, knew of Leena’s scam all along, but played along out of familial obligation. I guffawed at this reveal. It reminded me of the joy I felt during the first movie’s absolutely absurd twist reveal, and then some. It is like a dopamine infusion when a movie so cleverly deceives you and, after admitting as much, turns on a dime to resolve its predicament.And what a predicament it is. It’s clear that Tricia needs Leena to be Esther way more than Leena needs to be Esther.
That gives way to a somewhat anemic dual-scamming plot that soon unravels because Tricia, as severe and exacting as she may be , is no match for Leena’s psychopathy. The mega-grift can only last so long before disrepair once again visits the home of Tricia and Allen.
, this family was fucked way before they ever brought their new pet home. When Tricia tells Leena, “You’re a monster,” I’m not sure that the movie disagrees, but you can best believe that Leena triumphs nonetheless. In this genre, it pays to be a monster.
