• Complete Monster: The mother and grandmother both come off as this. They willingly keep four kids, including two very small children, locked up like animals. These children are denied freedom to play, food, attention, love, sunlight, and are even ignored when sick. Eventually, the grandmother goes so far as to deliberately lace the food given to the children with arsenic in hopes of killing them. The mother would have escaped this label if not for her complete apathy when Cory dies from the poisoning.
• Crowning Moment of Awesome: On the first night at the Foxworth Hall, the grandmother demands that the children be quiet. Four-year-old Carrie responds to this by walking calmly up to the Grandmother and screaming at the top of her lungs. What guts!
• Moral Event Horizon: For Cathy, her mother crossed this when she let Cory die.
• Narm: The movie version is full of it.
  • "Eat the cookie, Mother!!"
  • "Full of it"? The whole movie is pure Narm.
