| Cobweb | comment |
A 2023 Horror-Thriller movie directed by Samuel Bodin, Cobweb stars Woody Norman as eight-year-old Peter who lives with his overbearing, yet emotionally distant parents, Carol (Lizzy Caplan) and Mark (Antony Starr). One night, Peter hears the voice of a young girl speaking to him from within his bedroom walls who warns him that his parents are not what they seem...No relation to The Cobweb. | |

Ambiguous Situation | |
| Cobweb / int_1f6983f7 | comment |
Ambiguous Situation: The little girl who died trick-or-treating years before the film's start. Was she killed by the parents after discovering Sarah's existence, or did Sarah herself kill her and the parents only buried the body to hide the evidence? Sarah claims the former is true, but she's later revealed to be a Manipulative Bitch, and the parents die before they can give their side. | |

Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane: While ostensibly only suffering from a skeletal deformity, Sarah's unnatural movement, ability to survive what might have been decades locked away, and appearance at the end of the movie imply there might be something supernatural about her. | |
