What the heck was going on? - Spoilers!


Ok, I love horror movies and happened to catch this on tv. What the heck was going on?

Ok she got married, got pregnant and had the devils spawn?

Was her husband the devil or just a follower? Was the first child they killed not able to be the devils spawn or was he in the plan all along for an offering? What exactly was Carmac? He seemed not affected by the religious things so how could he be the antiChrist and why did he not kill Kris himself? Was Dylan good and that is why he told her to kill him? I just don't get this movie at all. Can someone enlighten me...
What was up with the ending... Did Dylan be come the antichrist or christ at the end?

Thanks

I will answer your question. Please keep in mind that I only seen this movie one time.

"Ok she got married, got pregnant and had the devils spawn?"

Correct

"Was her husband the devil or just a follower?"

Just a follower

"Was the first child they killed not able to be the devils spawn"

First child wasn't father by the devil. He was the biological child of Elizabeth and the husband. (sorry I can't remember the husband name.)

"was he in the plan all along for an offering?"

The first child was the "offering" but don't think the movie said when Elizabeth and the husband came up with this plan.


"What exactly was Carmac?"

He was the devil/satan.

"He seemed not affected by the religious things so how could he be the antiChrist "

I don't know. The movie never explain this. Obviously in this movie the devil isn't affected by religious things. I found it to be a very dark movie.

"why did he not kill Kris himself?"

I think you are asking why they didn't kill the mom after she drowned Dylan? I asked this myself. Another poster point out, that they didn't kill the mom because they wanted the mom to see Dylan's resurrection. Sort-of their way (the satanist) of saying they won.


"Was Dylan good and that is why he told her to kill him?"

No Dyan was NOT good. I don't remember Dylan telling his mom to kill him but I do know it was part of the plan the mom had to drown Dylan/kill Dylan for the plan (satan to take over the world) to work. The devil tricked the mom into doing this; I am sure Dylan knew of the plan, Dylan knew he had to died for the plan to work.


"Did Dylan be come the antichrist or christ at the end?"

Dylan definitely the antichrist. The way I see it is the Devil is tricking Christian or people in-general into believing his son is the second coming of Christ and making it easier for him (the devil) to take over the world.

It's not a perfect movie, I found the talking backwards thing some what lame but I over all enjoyed it and found it tought provoking , in a scary way.

I hope I help you, best wishes.

Thank you for taking the time to answer the questions. I just did not get the whole movie... It was not that bad but let alot open for someone's imagination.

Thank you again...

I disagree. I found the talking backwards to be VERY creepy! I have seen it done in movies of this nature before, but never it that exact way. Watching that adorable little blonde boy saying anything anyone asked him to say backwards was unsettling to say the least. I think if I saw it in real life it would seem very unnatural to me. Not quite ... right.

wasnt the first child the child of Elizabeth and marc?? they said marcs first born was the child that he killed while dylan was born.

reply

Just saw this movie on Lifetime and thought it was ok. Not much into the Antichrist theme. Can someone explain the ending to me? Why did Kris and the priest run off and what was the guy at the end doing chasing them?

reply


he was probably going to kill them...

yes, i just saw this movie and they said that the boy was mark and elizabeths child. still didnt explain why marc had to kill him unless it was a sacrafice so satans son could be born (dylan) remeber the doc had said the cord was around the babies neck,and he wasn't sure about a live birth.

reply

I didn't see the beginning of the movie. Carmac was the one who got Kristie pregnant and is the real father of Dylan since he's satan in human form. Marc was a follower and stepdad of Dylan. The reason why Carmac was mysteriously goin out is because he wanted more people to follow him, so he put his son under one of his follower's care. Kristie loved Dylan so much that she wanted to give him spiritual redemption, so she prayed and took him to the church, he probably would've turned good, but Marc and Oliver came in and Dylan wanted to be with them. I hope they do a sequel where Kristie gets Dylan back, just like in "Look What's Happened to Rosemary's Baby"(Rosemary's baby part II) where Lucifer's son Adrian becomes like Jesus.

reply

Oh God, Rosemary's Baby II was dire, a dreadful movie, and that was a sequel to a great film. I shudder to think what the sequel to a terrible movie would be like!
