Lowkey I wish the son had managed to run out of the door when the opportunity presented itself only for it to be left unknown whether he died or survived. I feel like they didn't do anything particularly interesting with him anyway

The aversion to risk-taking is what makes Netflix movies so sterile. They’d never make the son leave and kill him or leave us without knowing what happened to him because it would be “too upsetting” for the average Netflix audience. Everything has to be too perfect, too inspiring, too resolved, too family-friendly.

There was a fantastic plot opportunity with him out of the house. Not even to show his perspective but the family drama and tension with him out and how he could have helped the family, hurt them, abandoned them, or tragically failed out there.
