The premise in the book is that there were footprints of a stranger outside before they ditched their house for safer woods. Also the solar, eco friendly house was 30 miles from any other house, therefore no visitors because no gas. So I agree that the movie version plot was stupid, rushed way to exit house. I would've rested a few days after childbirth and relocated pots, cooking supplies, books, house making gear, tools, and big berry strainers before burning down house. Maybe start a new structure by stump. But book showed they wanted to hide from people, so they were living as minimalist. Too bad they didn't share that with us. Footprints, something more looming. But I found movie interesting until the burning. And I noticed leaking roof doing damage. I found it hard to believe the book smart sister wouldn't have repaired the roof much earlier. They did mention the father had work to finish up house... Lazy way to cause exit instead of using book plot of stalker. Basically though, people worse than elements.
