Resurrection

Margaret finally confronts David Moore after a series of unsettling clues – the tooth Abbie finds, his constant presence in public places, and the cryptic messages he leaves for her. She tracks him to a hotel and later to a restaurant where he proposes a “kindness” condition: she must walk barefoot to work every day. Refusing to be dominated any longer, Margaret decides to end his torment once and for all.

She returns to Moore’s apartment at night, armed with a hidden knife. After a tense exchange in which Moore tells her that the infant she believes she lost is still alive inside him, Margaret attacks, wounds him, and ties him to the bed. In a brutal, almost ritualistic act, she tears into his body and discovers a small, still‑breathing baby concealed beneath his organs. The infant is her son, Benjamin, the one she thought was consumed years ago. With Moore dead, Margaret cradles the child, finally achieving the rescue she has been haunted by for decades.

The film’s closing moments show Abbie coming home to find her mother holding the baby. The room is washed in an almost surreal light, and Abbie tenderly takes the infant into her own arms, thanking Margaret for saving them both. As the camera lingers on Margaret’s face, a low, unsettling score begins, hinting that the scene may be a hallucination or a desperate fantasy born from her fractured mind. Whether the rescue truly occurred or exists only in Margaret’s psyche is left ambiguous, leaving the audience to decide what part of the ending is real.
