Kid: I can see your lips moving!


Billy: I’m about to end this man’s whole life

[blaiseavey]

This is an underrated horror scene imo

[ChellyBean]

Can we appreciate how good of a recovery Mary managed here?

Someone calls her show out, and she not only weaves it into her performance ("There's no way you'd give me all the good lines!") but straight up adds an incredible feat that the audience might not have seen otherwise (talking at the same time).

3:27 that gave me chills once I realized she and the dummy where talkies and interrupting each other which was impossibly without some kind of supernatural influence 😨

[MrThomas]

"Now... who's the dummy?"
*Best line EVER*

[rachelabby]

Billy had life on his own. That prospect is really scary.

[Ilovequietstorms]

This movie still scares me, I'm so terrified of ventriloquist dolls

[avip]

if i was young henry and to look under the chair, i would have pissed my pants

[animefan]

Billy gets frightfully uncomfortable when he gets mad.

Everybody could’ve avoided their death IF THAT LITTLE BOI DIDNT SAY “I CAN SEE YOUR LIPS MOVING”

[LukeTheGhostKiller]

Kid should've kept his mouth shut

[babis]

The "Now, who's the dummy?" was very brilliant and they used it very good.Both in this scene and in the ending.Loved it!❤️
This movie is very good

Kiddo:
*“Her lips are moving”*

Me:
*“Oh, You're so dead now kiddo.”*

2:20
Mary shaw: Oh billy you sneezed all over my shoe

Billy: :0

XD

[jdlizzard]

The way Billy’s eyes move after the kid said he can see her lips moving😭

[bozenaz]

Kid: i See the lips moving!

Billy: *So you have chosen death*

Something interesting about this considering we don’t get to know for sure if Billy was alive or not, is looking at Mary herself in this scene. Even if we believe that a ventriloquist could definitely speak at the same time as her figure like this, she does sound actually a little distressed the more she argues with him. Could be acting of course but still, and then when the audience starts clapping, look at her face and the way her eyes dart around for a moment. It’s like she’s a little shaken by the moment and is taking in the fact the audience thinks it’s part of the act before composing herself. I feel like regardless of what the writers have confirmed or denied outside of the movie, if we leave it up to interpretation that would be a point in my book towards Billy being alive or possessed. To me it makes sense that her line afterwards was a sort of warning like “How dare you make me almost expose my secret”.

Of course there’s good evidence supporting the other way around too and both theories make sense/are very interesting.

For once, I’m actually on the killer’s side 😅
