Chekhov's Gag | |
| Blink / int_22cf50f9 | comment |
Chekhov's Gag: Hallstrom initially shrugs off Emma’s concerns because she admitted to drinking a sizeable amount of wine before the alleged crime took place, saying he could personally see the Seven Dwarves doing cartwheels while drunk on wine. Later, after the body has been discovered and Hallstrom is interviewing Emma as a witness, she remembers an odd detail but dismisses it, with Hallstrom insisting she just tell him what it is. She says, “Well, there were these seven little men behind him doing cartwheels.� | |

Hope Spot: In the climax of the film when Emma is trapped in the garage with the killer, she very briefly sees John and shouts out his name before he morphs into the killer, having been just a stress-induced hallucination caused by her condition. | |
