Finally got around to this movie on Saturday and ended up watching it again on Sunday.
What I really loved about this movie is how the antagonist uses his 'power' to keep abusing Cecelia.
Things like invading her personal space. When she's outside and we see his breath, he's standing right behind her. Or the scene with the attic, where she's peering down into the hallway and he's mere inches away on the ladder.
Or how he keeps humiliating her in front of others - first with the kitchen fire and then hiding her work for the job interview.
And finally, isolating her from others - writing the email to her sister and hitting James' daughter.
But what I also found interesting is how capable Cecelia is of hitting back. When she's attacked in the kitchen, she knows how to fight back. She knows how to cut deeply with her words.
As much as Adrianne is a sadist, I get the feeling he's a masochist. Like he wants someone that can hurt him back.
Such a great movie.
