He calls her a monster and she pushes him off the roof. When he squeezes Leena’s face, her fake teeth pop out. “That’s the ultimate tragedy.”Īllen chooses Esther because he believes he is saving his daughter, but he soon realizes that his wife, as crazy as she sounded, was telling the truth. He turns on her and decides to save Esther instead,” Stile says. “I think, in that moment, he realized what Tricia had done and all that that means. At this point, he’s still entirely unaware that Leena is not his real daughter, so when Tricia claims Esther is “a grown woman” who tricked them, he flinches, causing his wife to fall to her death.
In the film’s final moments, Tricia and Leena are left hanging off the roof, hoping Allen will save them. The inferno quickly engulfs the entire home, forcing them outside on the roof. They leave a kitchen burner on and an oven mitt catches fire. The fire isn’t the product of arson, but a casualty of Leena and Tricia’s all out bloody battle that covers every inch of the house. The death of the Albright family is what allowed her to become an orphan. The original Orphan claims that Leena was the only survivor of a house fire that she caused. “So to not let that at all be distracting was the biggest acting challenge.” The Ending To make sure Fuhrman, who is 5-foot-6, appeared child size on screen, Stiles wore a pair of “Gene Simmons boots” that she admits were “utterly humiliating because it made me about seven inches taller, and I’m already tall.” (Stiles is 5-foot-8.) “They kind of made me walk like a baby giraffe,” she says. “I think, in many ways, Esther found the right family.” “I think they’re like two peas in a pod,” Stiles says of the sociopathic bond between the fake mother and daughter.

After coming clean to Leena, she spends her time teaching the young woman how to dress and act like Esther in order to keep the ruse going. Stiles admittedly preferred playing the more sinister version of Tricia, who, as the film goes on, becomes something like a more unhinged version of Henry Higgins in My Fair Lady. Still, more often than not, Tricia speaks in those dulcet tones in hopes of convincing the world-and maybe herself-that she is that kindler, gentler person. Early in the film, Tricia sounds “more skittish and breathy,” but her voice becomes “more powerful” once she reveals her true self to Leena. Stiles created two different voices to differentiate between the “before and after” Tricias. The other scary thing is how easily Tricia can go from being a sweet, caring mom to a total sociopath.

As you wade through the great movies on this list, it’s clear to see how the trope has evolved and how filmmakers have stepped up to reinvent what has already been done. With every honor you bestow the Hitchcockian genius of Psycho, there’s a need to nod a hat to the big end film twists like Us.
