Here is one inviolable rule that I have learned governs American screens: If ever I see a young woman standing before a mirror holding a pair of scissors, it is almost always a harbinger of some unspeakable doom.Whether in comedy or in horror, this image is cinematic shorthand for when the writers want us to know that whatever this woman's inner torment may have been in that moment, it won, obliterating her sanity and driving her to this act of assured self-destruction.
