Spoiler: Personally, I thought that this was a pretty terrible film. The music was amazing, but there are so many inconsistancies in this film that go against all logic it is laughable. However, I am willing to admit that the stabbing scene is likely one of the most... disturbing... that I have seen. The lack of struggle, just the non-chalant way that it was done, was just so brutal.

As far as the things that happened in the movie that go against all logic - The implied that the handicapped fellow was putting on the costume and shaving the dogs? Suddenly he becomes intelligent enough to do that? Also, why in the world would you send a blind girl though the woods to get medicine, especially with only a watch to pay for it. Give me a break, one of the elders could have easily gone and gotten it, the fellow at the desk obviously knew that they were living in there. I understand that blind people can get along pretty well, but if you have a blind women basically stepping out from the 1800's into today, I am sure that she would have no idea what a vehicle sounds like.

For the record, I also was annoyed with how they spoke. I understand that it was an attempt to immerse us further into that world, but it was a combination of the old way and new way of speaking. The thing, though, that really did this move in for me was the "Scooby Doo" ending, if anyone remembers watching the old cartoons, you'll see the similarities.
