In real life, studies posit that roughly 90 percent of all murders are committed by men. The answer? A teenager when school is out. Chief Vickery and Richard wondered who would have enough time away from prying eyes to commit such gruesome crimes. Or up and at ’em early enough to drag Natalie’s body from its hiding place to the alley where it’s found by that poor older couple. In other words, it was entirely possible for Amma to be out in the woods, away from home for hours and hours, taking her time to uproot all those teeth from her victims’ mouth. because, “It isn’t safe out there for little girls.” But she doesn’t chastise her for coming home late on the night that Camille and Amma both swallow some Oxys, drop some E, and down approximately a liter of liquor. There’s a town-wide curfew in effect, and Adora makes a big deal about Amma’s safety, berating her that she absolutely must be home by 9 p.m. Either Adora drugs herself into sleep oblivion at night or pretends not to hear the squeak of feet on hardwood, because Amma is all over town, doing whatever she pleases at any hour of the day or night. Here were the four biggest clues that Amma was the killer.įor an old house with creaky stairs, the Preaker manse never gave away when Amma was sneaking out to steal booze from the corner store with her roller-skating pals. But if you paid careful attention, the hints began piling up the very first moment Amma appeared onscreen. (Yeesh, those end-credits scenes were haunting.) So Amma was passed over as a suspect, even though she had the means, the motive, and the opportunity. Before the very last moments of Sharp Objects, it was difficult to picture a young girl holding down her former friends, strangling them, and then ripping their teeth out with pliers.
#AMMA CRELLIN SERIAL#
A vicious serial killer? Eh, that wasn’t so clear. But Amma kept us guessing about what lurked in that booze-soaked, dollhouse-furniture-obsessed little mind, swinging wildly from beribboned Stepford child to after-school-special victim.
“I just want to continue working with people who have interesting stories to tell,” she says.We should have known Amma Crellin was trouble when she casually dropped that infamous line from Machiavelli’s The Prince: “It’s safer to be feared than loved.” It’s not exactly a text that most high-school freshmen read, and Machiavelli wasn’t exactly subtle in his beliefs that murder and treachery are all just part of the power struggle. Up Next: Scanlen’s first big project for 2020, the Netflix psychological thriller The Devil All the Time, is-you guessed it-an adaptation of a critically acclaimed novel. “I think in some subconscious way, being surrounded by so many women so early in my career is what has led me to make leaps and take risks.”
Girl Power: Scanlen says that her run of female-oriented projects is exciting, as she’s entering the industry “at a time when women are being given opportunities that really showcase what creatives can do, regardless of gender.” Working with Gerwig inspired her to write and direct her own short film, Mukbang, about the South Korean trend of livestreaming yourself eating huge amounts of food.
“It feels great to be working on theater and to know that I’m going to have a piece that I can explore for seven months,” she says. Page to Stage: Following a turn in the Sydney Theatre Company’s gender-blind stage production of Lord of the Flies, Scanlen recently joined the cast of Broadway’s To Kill a Mockingbird, in which she portrays Mayella Ewell. “It was important for me to show that Beth was never a silent commentator or a sounding board but the moral compass of the film.” “The main thing I wanted the audience to see in this version of Beth is that she’s just as distinct as the other sisters, but she expresses her individuality in a different way,” Scanlen says. Star Turn: This Christmas, Scanlen plays the fever-stricken Beth March in Greta Gerwig’s take on Little Women, opposite Meryl Streep, Laura Dern, and Saoirse Ronan. “I think it’s time for me to play someone that’s perfectly healthy,” This year alone, she has taken on terminal cancer (in the Venice International Film Festival hit Babyteeth) and scarlet fever (keep reading). Her character, Amma Crellin, was-spoiler alert!-being slowly poisoned by her mother (Patricia Clarkson), marking the first in a string of ailing characters the 20-year-old actress has played. Where You’ve Seen Her: Sydney, Australia, native Eliza Scanlen gave a (rollerskating) breakout performance in 2018’s HBO miniseries adaptation of Gillian Flynn’s Sharp Objects.
