Bilingual Bonus | |
| Greta / int_294ed981 | comment |
Bilingual Bonus: After it turns out that Greta isn't French at all, she starts to use more and more Hungarian words and expressions: in the restaurant she says "Miután mindent megtettem érted!" (After everything I've done for you!), later she addresses Frances as angyalom (my angel), uses the words kisujj (pinky), mézeskalács (gingerbread), ragadós (sticky), and states that "Ez tényleg fáj." (It really hurts.), while treating her wound. Also-also, her surname, Hideg means cold in Hungarian. | |

Bittersweet Ending: Erica rescues Frances from Greta and the two dump Greta in a chest. However, when the two leave, Greta starts to escape. Averted in that they can just lock the door behind them. | |

Not the First Victim | |
| Greta / int_48463e95 | comment |
Not the First Victim: While being stalked by Greta, Frances learns from Greta's daughter's girlfriend that Greta seemed to have been extremely abusive to her daughter. It's never explicitly confirmed because she's a Posthumous Character, having committed suicide prior to the events of the film. It's also heavily implied that Greta had multiple victims because Frances hears the same banging through the wall at the beginning of the film that she later makes while bound to the bed in Greta's house. Later, she finds the previous girl in the basement — still alive, but just barely, and Greta quickly finishes her off. | |

Foreshadowing | |
| Greta / int_9d12bbc1 | comment |
Foreshadowing: Greta is constantly listening to and playing Liszt. Liszt is one of the most famous, if not the most famous Hungarian composer, which is a clue of Greta's real background. | |

Abusive Parents | |
| Greta / int_b11ac9f5 | comment |
Abusive Parents: Greta is implied to have been this to her daughter, who committed suicide. Along with that, her girlfriend speculates she herself suffered from extreme abuse as a child, giving her references to being "put in a box" (something she had later done to victims). | |

As Long as It Sounds Foreign | |
| Greta / int_e3c20140 | comment |
As Long as It Sounds Foreign: Isabelle Huppert's Hungarian is remarkably bad, which might sound even more amusing to native speakers, when Greta tries correct Frances' pronounciation of mézeskalács (gingerbread). Also, because of previously addressing Frances as angyalom (my angel), Greta's scream of "My kisujj!" is very unlikely from a native, as screaming "A kisujjam!" (my pinky) would sound definitely more realistic. note There are no determiners like my in Hungarian, as it uses only possessive suffixes (my angel → angyalom, my pinky → kisujjam etc.). It's highly unlikely that a native speaker would produce such an idiosyncratic sentence. | |

All Just a Dream | |
| Greta / int_ea85d6ea | comment |
All Just a Dream: Subverted. It initially appears that Frances’s abduction was something she dreamt after falling asleep on the couch. But then she wakes up in a box, and, no, the abduction was real and the Hope Spot was the dream. | |
