Rob, would like to offer you my explanations to some of your plot holes. The rabbits were always there as they reproduced too, perhaps hence the phrase ‘at it like rabbits’. I think the idea was that the doppelgängers were representing the underclass. They were forgotten about and poorly educated, therefore the real Adelaide forgot who she really was. A lot of the film revolves around the Hands Across America and the Jeremiah 11:11. My interpretation was that these events symbolised unity and peace, when in fact America is still a terrible country. The families at the centre of the film represent apathy and the relationships between them are built on conceit and material gain, coinciding with the racial connotations between them. The underclass rise-up and form a new Hands Across America. To me this was suggesting that the middle-classes need to start paying more attention. It wasn’t an out and out classic like Get Out but I can’t remenever seeing a film with so much to interpret. The horror was quite poor in my opinion apart from the excellent score and the subtext wasn’t quite as accessible as Get Out. Still a very good film that caught my imagination and one definitely worth revisiting. Some captivating performances in their too. Everything you mentioned I did understand when I watched but it doesn't explain any of the plotholes within the story, what you've explained is the meaning behind things but the actual story doesn't make sense. Such as Adelaide not remembering she was a doppelganger until it was conveniently the right time to at the end it also doesn't really explain why the failed experiment which covered the whole of America was just left abandoned to run riot and do whatever they wanted i.e. have kids, come to the surface etc. The last monologue by fake (real) Adelaide makes no sense either, why was she talking about wishing Adelaide had taken her to the surface and all that when she was the one kidnapped and cuffed to the bed. It's really bad storytelling, you have to ignore parts of the plot for it to make sense which is madness She mentioned something about the shared soul but two bodies. I think that’s why she forgot, perhaps she just became used to the real life and the luxuries she experienced? Forgetting where she really came from?
