Gabbie Shaw's Role in the Movie[]

Introduction to Gabbie[]

Gabbie is introduced as the bright and enthusiastic daughter of Jess and Greg, eager to reconnect with her cousin Sienna. She greets Sienna with unbridled joy when she arrives at their home after being released from the psych ward. Her innocence and admiration for Sienna set the stage for her importance in the story, as she becomes a source of emotional grounding for Sienna during her recovery from trauma.

Gabbie at the Mall[]

Gabbie accompanies Sienna to the mall in an attempt to provide normalcy and cheerfulness. While their time together starts pleasantly, the atmosphere shifts when Sienna is haunted by a sinister vision of Art. Although Gabbie doesn’t directly encounter Art here, her presence serves as a reminder of what Sienna is trying to protect.

Gabbie and Sienna’s Bond[]

At home, Gabbie’s curiosity gets the better of her when she reads Sienna’s journal despite being told not to. Her genuine remorse when caught reflects her childlike innocence and need for Sienna’s approval. This moment reveals the trust and mentorship between the two, adding depth to their connection.

The Climactic Showdown[]

In the final act, Gabbie becomes a pawn in Art and Vicky's sadistic game. After killing Greg and tormenting Jess, the villains use Gabbie to manipulate Sienna emotionally. They present a human skull wearing Jonathan’s glasses to convince Sienna that her brother is dead and threaten to kill Gabbie next.

Despite her fear, Gabbie displays remarkable bravery, devising a strategy to buy Sienna time by asking if she can open her “gift.” The plan works, giving Sienna access to the enchanted sword. However, the situation escalates when a portal to Hell opens. Gabbie is pulled into the portal as Sienna tries desperately to save her, injuring her hands in the process. Gabbie’s fall into the abyss marks a devastating moment for Sienna, whose failure to save Gabbie becomes the emotional crux of her vow to rescue her.
