There’s Someone Inside Your House: Ending Explained Who is The Killer? What is Makani’s Secret?

There’s Someone Inside Your House has the right recipe to make you spend an evening of horror: here is the review of the Netflix movie. Available in time for Witches’ Night 2021, Someone in Your House is set in a small Nebraska town where a diverse group of students attend Osborne High School. The tranquility of the small town is shaken when a killer begins to claim victims by revealing their innermost secrets.

The film unfolds as a classic slasher in which a knife-wielding killer hides his identity under a mask and kills – apparently for no reason – city dwellers who have a dark secret. In this sense, the first sequence of Someone in Your House is very well shot and has an atmosphere that will allow you to immediately get in tune with the horror.

The film directed by Patrick Brice (author of Creep and its sequel) has all the ingredients to entertain an audience of teenagers who are passionate about the most classic horror stories such as that of the Scream saga and that of the film So what have you done (which will be released one reboot series). There is someone in your house in fact it does not pretend to renew the slasher genre but manages to tell an interesting story, which intertwines the fears of adolescents and their secrets. The themes of the feature film include those of bullying, gender, racism and immigration.

So prepare the popcorn because the film produced, among others, by James Wan is a very good one. The only less well done aspect, unfortunately, concerns the ending which – in my opinion – is too hasty.

There’s Someone Inside Your House: Ending Explained

The ending of There’s Someone Inside Your House takes place in the corn maze, which the killer himself set on fire. The sequence shows the killer in Mr. Sanford’s mask ready to kill the town tycoon.

When the boys protagonists of the film, Makani and Ollie, arrive at the place, the killer hastens his move and kills Mr. Sanford without offering any explanation of what happened, without revealing a dark secret of the rich landowner. In fact, this murder clashes with the others because it appears more a personal revenge than the consequence of a devised plan. In fact, it should be remembered that the killer, in addition to making the mask with a 3D printer, also organizes a scenography that reminds the victim what his dark secret is. In this case, the burning field may mean that Mr. Sanford’s empire is up in smoke. But there is no secret: everyone was aware that the tycoon bought the land of the place for a few coins but also of the collection of Nazi objects kept in the house. What that,

After committing his latest murder, the killer takes off his mask in front of Ollie and Makani, revealing that he is their “friend” Zach. The latter’s speech would explain why he committed the murders:

This would justify the plan of two murders: the bully may be hiding behind the face of the good boy friend while Katie, the blonde girl killed in the church, is basically a racist who preaches in public that she is not. As for Makani and Rodrigo, on the other hand, they hide a secret: she pushed a former classmate of hers into the flames, who was left with a burned face, while he secretly takes pills. In these last two cases, being hypocritical does not correspond to the profile of the murderer’s victims.

Another sentence from Zach to consider in order to understand the ending of the film is the one in which he says “I have spent my whole life denying who I am”. This means that he himself wears a mask to hide the fact that he is privileged. And if so, why can’t others wear it? Why do they deserve death? If Zach wants to get rid of his appearance why does he kill his father?

Then, when Makani stabs Zach to knock him out, she tells him “Do you think having everything makes you a victim?”, Once again deflecting the motive for hypocrisy and putting Zach’s motives personal. It seems that the killer then has more ideas about who deserves death and this confuses the ending and the very identity of the killer that the viewer was trying to construct murder after murder.
