What really happened to Lily

Rating: 5/10 (9 August 2013)

OK so I know like a lot others I was confused when it came to what actually was going on in the movie. I know for one when mama took lily I was like "This is some BS". My dad, who unlike me was not covering eyes every time something popped out, explained it to me. If you actually watch the title sequence at the beginning of the movie you will see that lily was attacked by raccoons. She then got sick and actually died and in the drawings on the wall all this is shown. Of course I didn't think he was right till all the examples were pointed out. She was always super freakishly fast and never seemed to do normal things. She was eating the dead moths, jumping from second story windows unharmed, she was confused when the girlfriend blew warm air on her body because her being dead her body was cold, she never seemed to heal up and always had some form of scratches or bruises on her body, and she stayed outside in the cold all night. It's sad but true. If you go back and watch in one scene the doctor shows a clip of the girls asleep. Victoria is asleep in the bed but Lily is in the corner with her knees to her chest and her head turned at an unnatural angle and white glowing eyes. It all makes since. So all in all mama taking her at the end was I guess justified because she knew she didn't belong with them. Lily was almost only there to make sure Victoria was safe before moving on. One question I still have though is why Mama slung her own baby's remains off the cliff like some garbage. It all worked out in the end I guess.
