Lizzy Caplan and Antony Starr did have a spooky secret to hide.
Editor's Note: The following contains spoilers for Cobweb . With stars such as Lizzy Caplan and Antony Starr attached to the project, Cobweb was one of the biggest horror promises of the year. Now that the movie is available in theaters, critics are pointing out that, despite issues with pacing and editing, there's still a creepy mystery worth unfolding at the center of Cobweb.
What Is the Thing Knocking on the Wall in 'Cobweb'? Written by Chris Thomas Devlin , the script of Cobweb revolves around eight-year-old Peter . Peter is a shy and sensitive boy who struggles to make friends at school, partially because of his overprotective parents . While, at first, Peter's parents don't seem too weird, the family dynamics shift after the boy starts to hear knockings on the wall of his bedroom. First, Peter's parents try to dismiss the noises as nightmares.
There’s some truth to what the voice on the wall says. The creature is actually Peter’s sister, born with a mysterious medical condition that gives her strong limbs and sharp teeth. Afraid of their daughter, the parents decided to lock her in the basement. When that didn’t work to contain her, they dug a pit and turned it into a cage. The walls of their home became the last prison of the girl, who had been turned into a nightmarish creature by her own parents.
Lizzy Caplan and Antony Starr's Secret Comes Back to Haunt Them In Cobweb’s bloody ending, Peter’s sister convinces the boy that his parents are planning his murder. Afraid for his life, Peter mixes rat poison with the soup his mother prepares every evening. Peter’s parents die violently, with their organs imploding due to the poison. Peter rushes to steal his mother’s keys as she begs him not to release his sister.
