The moral of the metaphor is to contain your mental demons and feed them worms!
Why can't films have a proper ending?
The first 20% is a big worry due to the annoyance level of the son.
The next 50% is too slow as we find the point.
The next 20% is alright when the mother is 'posessed'.
The last 10% spirals into the merely stupid, culminating in an ending that is a joke.
If the demon or whatever it is had made her fulfill her destiny and ended bleakly it would have been worthwhile, but no the end has to be happy.
The fact that the mother resents the son and is irriatated by him as anyone should be, means we have all this other stuff about a book etc... that is supposed to be manifested in reality which creates what we actually see.
It was presented too literal to be actually metaphorical.
So in a literal sense the demon is a joke who can be shouted down and contained, in a metaphorical one you just get on with it as it's your child and you put up with it.
But this is supposed to be a film that thrills/scares and so the whole thing is a cop out at the conclusion.
It treats the viwer as a child and says 'you must not kill your annoying child' and 'contain your demons'. But this is supposed to be something that pushes beyond and says 'what if?'
She should have strangled him when she had him by the thoat, being staisfied the demon leaves and she realises what she has done and cuts her throat. Credits.
No need to kill the dog, as it didn't whine and shriek like the boy. So to run through it again, yes kill the boy as you she had all the reasons to, no kill the dog as she had no reason....
The rest of it, books and visions of an ACTUAL demon and flickering lights was just the pretence of a movie being made.
