Factual error: The glass shattering and falling in the greenhouse would have been unlikely to kill Marlene, let alone even cause that much damage to her, as the glass would have very little to no time to gain more force, falling at that low of a height. And if Marlene were to be killed, she would have probably bled out over time, as opposed to almost instantly dying as the film implies.

Peyton Flanders: When your husband makes love to you, it's my face he sees.
Question: Do we know if Peyton's husband was really molesting his patients? I can't tell if he killed himself out of guilt, or because he was depressed that he had been accused of something like that.





Answer: Yes, Dr. Mott was molesting his patients, as was seen when he slipped off his plastic glove just before performing a pelvic exam on Claire. After Claire reported Mott to the authorities, a number of other women came forward and their accusations were made public. Mott never showed any remorse, and it appears he committed suicide because he was unable to face the ensuing scandal and criminal investigation.
