So....What the Hell Were They?


Enjoyed the movie, but what were they? Monsters? Demons? Extremely inbred?

"Nobody Knows Nobody" - Running Scared

I would go with extremely inbred. "It's all a matter of good breeding really".

Weird shape-shifting alien type things,I don't know myself really!

A separate race that has always been here feeding off us.

Soulless pleasure seeking materialists. Either that or freaky f#ckers from another dimension.

Listen!This ain`t another exploding patient you can sweep under your rug!

whatever the hell that is

Sounds... intriguing.

How was Bill able to 'shunt' Ferguson at the end? That doesn't seem physically possible for a human to do.


"Where'd you get the beauty scar tough guy? Eatin' pineapple?"

He was able to do it the same way they were. They were able to shapeshift to the point of almost being amorphous so all it took was a little effort. Also, when Ferguson was inside-out, he was basically empty.

Exactly! And there was no explanation. How can anyone think this was truly a good movie without explaining something so basic as just WHAT the bad people are and how the hero was able to win at the end;

It does explain what they are. Dr. Cleveland tells Bill he is not really related to his family and his family and their high-society friends are actually a different species.

Why do you need every little thing spelled out for you? In Halloween they never explain why Michael Myers body disappears after he is shot by Dr. Loomis.

reply

He didn’t “shunt” him. He just took advantage of Ferguson’s morphing state and reached up into him and pulled him inside out.

reply

well the upper class literally think they are a different species. they think they are better bred, even though there is some incest!!!

ive come to tell you whats right and wrong. Sexual harrasment panda

One of the most underrated movies in history IMO. I thought that what they really were must stay in the spectator imagination. There are clues that they were closer to demons, i mean, they were different of human beings. They feed from people, and they were cultists. In fact i always thought that they were satanists. Here in Brazil the name of the movie is "The Society of the friends of the devil".

reply

Satanists, they like to keep in the family and share with close “friends”.
