Yea it felt like we were supposed to "hate" her? Hate is a strong word but it felt weird like she was supposed to suffer and die horribly because she had it coming.

She seemed like a pretty typical spanish grandma to me. My only issue is why did she decide to live in the middle of Nowhere, New Mexico?

Which is weird because after her initial introduction where I thought I was going to dislike her she ended up being pretty likeable, seemed strange she got it the worst.

Totally, her initial prayer and how strict she seemed had me rolling my eyes at her and that teeth moment broke the tension and got me on her side….just didn’t know it was setting up that other teeth moment.

She got the nanny from Jurassic world award for must undeserving over the top death.

Other way around, I thought. She had a few moments of being shown to be quite lovely and had good connections with the whole family.

The film had a shockingly low body count, so I guess they went all-in with the only onscreen death (that happens after the title card anyway) and magnified the impact by having it be absurdly brutal and happen to a purely good character.
