I'm not sure I'm making sense, but alas it was a structural element that stopped it from earning a perfect score from me. It sounds like I'm being anal, but it had wider implications on the structure of the mystery and its tension, which I felt would have been superior with that part removed entirely.

Then again, I'm also somebody who likes that we don't see the witch in The Blair Witch Project.
