The punch at the end hurts

Warning: Spoilers
I have to say that I did not expect this movie would give me such lasting impression, especially with that twist at the end. Though some viewers did mention that the plot twist was expected and overused, but when I saw the father (reclusive protagonist) gazing into his daughter's eyes, handing her the teddy bear she left behind, all the while knowing that death is upon him, I feel emotionally wrecked. It's like a metaphor to what parents give to their children: Life. And in place of that, parents know that each day as their children grow up more and more, their own death is coming. But still they pushed on and give unconditional love. Even willing to die for their children, or in this case, in the hands of his own daughter. I can't really quite put in words on exactly how this film makes me feel. All I know is that I feel incredibly moved and surprised about the way it turned out. Not many horror films can reach the same effect of making the audience tear up and frightened simultaneously. This movie did it for me, great job.
