Mrs Carmody
Mrs Carmody is a god-fearing, Christian woman. She’s extremely religious and carries the bible with her everywhere. She has convinced her self and she’s trying to convince the other people in the supermarket to believe that it’s judgement day.

She uses the words from the bible to manipulate and affect the other people in the supermarket. The other people start to obey her, and start believing her. It’s like she uses god as a strategy to manipulate the other. Mrs Carmody is very unstable, and afraid. She transfers her fear to the other, by describing and predicting what’s going to happen. Ollie kills her in the end of the movie.
