It attempts to lunge at her with its last bits of strength while near-fatally wounded, but Lizzy beats it to death with a large stick finally killing it. Upon seeing her mother die, a distraught and enraged Lizzy (now determined to avenge Kathy's death) uses a spray can from the ambulance combined with her mother's lighter to set the monster ablaze. But Lizzy, who was unwilling to leave her mother behind, chases it away with the flashlight. Under the impression Lizzy has gotten away, Kathy allows the monster to attack (and kill) her. Kathy finally admits to Lizzy she does truly love her even more than life itself. She's going to run into the woods so the monster will chase her while Lizzy escapes into the road to get help. Now aware that the monster is scared away by bright light (and her inevitable death is coming), Kathy uses her lighter to make a torch and tells her daughter her plan. Kathy begins vomiting up blood and realizes she has internal bleeding. It smashes into the ambulance when Kathy tries to drive off, causing her to swerve into the woods.

As Kathy and Lizzy cower in the ambulance, the monster slaughters the EMT team. Luckily, it is scared away by the approaching ambulance before it is able to kill Kathy. A severely mauled Jesse crawls out of the woods, only for a monstrous creature to drag him under the tow truck and eat him before Kathy can help.Īttracted by the sound of music emanating from Lizzy's teddy bear, the monster drags Kathy out from the car. Jesse's severed arm abruptly lands on the hood of the car. Tired with bickering, Kathy gets out of the car to talk to Jesse but cannot find him. Lizzy notices the wolf's body is gone and now becomes frightened. The tow truck arrives and its driver, Jesse, begins working underneath the car. Kathy is injured in the collision, forcing Lizzy to call a tow truck and ambulance. But its injuries look like they were sustained by an animal attack rather than their car.

As night falls, Kathy hits a wolf with her car. Tired of taking care of her abusive, unstable, alcoholic mother, Lizzy makes it clear she wants to live with her father permanently.
