Eyebrows would be just right, so she does.īut we have to wonder.Will her plan to murder Price work? What about his plan to murder her? Will anyone find Nora? Or will it all be thrown out the window for a ridiculous "Tittie Smoke Monster" (a term coined by Jake)? Case in point: Feeling that her (fake) death was not enough to turn everyone against Price, she decides that murdering Dr. Eyebrows gave her Atropine to make everyone think she was dead, because they are both terrible people who do terrible things. Well, it seems to work because, surprise! Evelyn's not dead! Dr. This was designed by the crazy doctor at the beginning, who believed that if this sort of thing could drive a sane man crazy, it totally had to work the other way, right? Anyway, he's locked in, and the others go off looking for an exit again.Įxcept for Eyebrows, who goes to Evelyn's corpse, still on the table, and starts groping it, kissing it, and giving it injections in its hoo-ha, which is not, as far as we know, the way you're supposed to prepare a corpse.

And no reason at all for anybody to consider killing the others in order to take home a bigger chunk of the money!īut Evelyn wants all the money. And if anybody dies or leaves, their share will be divided among those remaining. is the asylum from the beginning of the movie! We know-shocking, right? But Price isn't going to worry about that, because he has an offer for him guests, and he informs them that, if they can manage to stay in the house for the whole night, each of them will get a cashier's check for one million dollars.
