It is still 100% what you said in the beginning, a family failing apart and disintegrating. And it is also a cult trying to bring a demon god into the world. They are both key aspects of this film. I am SO HAPPY it went the direction it did, I feel that if it went the way you wanted it to go it would have felt tired. To me, that's just going "oh it was all in her head in the end and she's crazy". That's not nuanced to me anymore, it's cliched. And sort of offensive depending on how they treated it. The way the ending plays out, was just SO Lynch-ian to me, and I absolutely love that. It's so surreal. I can't quite explain with how it clicks, but it does. This movie is 100% a family drama dressed in the guise of a horror movie. And that's what makes it work so well for me. It retains both elements. Of course, you aren't alone in your reaction. While the movie has done wonders critically, the audience rating is a decent bit lower. It's a bold choice they did. And it worked for me, utterly and completely. But it won't for everyone. --- Lord have mercy on my soul, I've had a good run but I can't run anymore.
