I think it was meant to be a sad/sentimental moment, but unfortunately, I simply didn’t care enough about the character to have those feelings.

I think this should have been a two hour film with extra character building and/or backstory time. I also think it needed a bigger budget. If I ever become a multimillionaire I would happily give the likes of Zombie, Eli Roth etc an unlimited budget to make their dream movie.

Also, I think this is one of those movies that I’ll appreciate more upon second viewing.

Do you recall in House of 100o Corpses or in Halloween 2 when Annie died and Brad Douriff found her body, we saw flash cuts to happier moments in their lives.?
Could this be an extension of those techniques? Zombie likes to show people as real characters, with a life lost when meet a tragic end. Heidi atop a pile of dead woman, damned for the rest of time, bringer of the Devil’s child, is made more tragic by the moment she herself flashes back to which is playing with her dog. As a former struggling addict this simple action could be what she clings to, almost her happy place in trying times.. This could show the audience her last moment of sanity in her damnation.
I would be interested in your thoughts about this theory of mine.
Thanks for the great analysis above.
