was she dead? I thought part way through that maybe she was alive and that the grad students killing him may have prevented the police from finding her on time ...but the blood in the pick up truck was hers...so i guess that means she was dead (or maybe she had a blood nose in the truck and he drove her to a hospital...)
also how would ron pearlman's character have explained his fingerprints at the scene with 5 dead grad students and a stack of buried corpses?
All Ron Pearlman did is pour the wine they put on the table. Why would he need to prtend he was never there? They invited him there with the intention of killing him, so he could either argue it was an accident (how would he know they had poisoned the wine?) or that it was self defense. Either way, he killed a bunch of multiple murderers that had intended to kill him that night. Hard to see him getting into trouble. There is no way at all he could have been found responsible for any of the bodies under the tomato patch. He simply wasn't there, and had nothing to connect him to the house. He was on a campaign until a chance encounter with the murderers at the airport. All easily confirmed He would have been hailed a hero. They killed a priest. One women they killed simply for being prudish. The young girl advocating abstinence would have been in every national newspaper telling the story of her dinner date with death. He would have been more popular than ever.
I think the implication was that Jenny was dead, murdered by the clearly unhinged Bill Paxton character. Her body is never found.
What if a squirrel wants a sausage?
Yeah, they would've been able to estimate time of death for the bodies buried in the backyard, which would've cleared Perlman's character. He would've been a hero indeed.
If there was supposed to be some irony in them killing Jenny Tyler's murderer (ie that she wasn't actually dead and, if anything, their actions caused her to die) it would've been stated a little more clearly. Like they kill Bill Paxton's character and then find out later Jenny Tyler died days after Paxton was stabbed to death.
I don't think Zach (Paxton's character) killed Jenny Tyler. Zach was a traveling trucker who was passing through the area. My belief is that Luke killed Jenny. He showed no remorse for killing people and he couldn't stand teenage girls (Heather was a perfect example). When Luke took Zach's truck, he threw Jenny inside and planted her somewhere; that's why her blood was in his truck. May not be true but, it makes sense...
sharewhen luke was making comparisons to hitler, that was basically his inner voice speaking out projecting his qualities onto other people.
shareZach killed her. That's the dramatic irony - the first person they kill (and the only one they kill without planning to) is the only one confirmed as dangerous, until the last guest, Ron Perlman's character, who they plan to kill and who changes their minds; and he ends up filling the role of the 'next Hitler'.
And Ron Perlman's character probably just left the scene.
His fingerprints on the scene might have been an issue if he'd left out his glass (if his prints were even on file), as police would wonder who the extra guest was, but he was probably canny enough to just clear away his dishes etc.
They were known locally as having regular guests and an interest in politics, so if evidence ever arose that he'd been in their house, it would be difficult to prove when.
The police would likely be more occupied with the what, dozen bodies (including a fellow officer) in the garden. Might even see the students death as mass suicide?
Luke killed her.
