1. Every city in South American is a backwards third world area
2. No one will look to see where the dripping blood is coming from they will wait until an expert comes in.
3. Don't drink the Bourbon
4. Locuts can kill you
5. Boils can kill you
6. There are basements in Louisana and they don't flood.
7. It is attractive to women when the lead guy never smiles and is boring as hell the whole movie.
8. If you're the star of a movie, you can make it through a swarm of flying insects without so much as a scratch while others around you end up with shredded clothes or even dead.
share9. The Biblical plague of killing the first born SONS apparently now includes daughters, too.

Actually, it is firstborn sons, daughters and livestock.
From the Bible:
"And all the firstborn in the land of Egypt shall die, from the first born of Pharaoh that sitteth upon his throne, even unto the firstborn of the maidservant that is behind the mill; and all the firstborn of beasts"
Awesome. Thanks :) I had forgotten the verse. Of course, I still hark back to when I was a kid and considered that judgement horrendously unfair and capricious.
Dr. Kila Marr was right. Kill the Crystalline Entity.share
Well she did mention that Loren "trusted" her. Plus it seemed to me that she was spared the bulk of the wrath of locusts, probably because 1. she didn't have a gun pointed at Loren and 2. she wasn't part of the satan worshiping town.
'Suppose she gets pregnant? How can she nurse a baby with fangs?!
Lol I think this was because she was the.. not the angel but you know the person come to save them. But probably also because she was the heroine too haha

I'm sorry, but I have to disprove your number two statement. The "dripping blood" you were referring (assuming you're talking about the beginning of the movie) was actually toxic chemicals that were being dumped into old oil sewers underneath the city. HS explains this in her college lecture. I think the fact that it looked like dripping blood, was just there to attempt to freak people out. Personally I think that whole first scene could be cut out and the movie could have started from that lecture.

well duh, no s--t. But you didn't know that at first did you?
The OP called it "dripping blood" because he was talking from the point of view of the audience upon first seeing the movie as well as from the point of view of the locals in the movie who thought it was dripping blood.
Any way to answer that question: The reason why nobody bothered to investigate the "dripping blood" is because the locals were happy to believe that it was a miracle and therefore left it at that.
It wasn't until outsiders who weren't entirely convinced decided to send people to investigate.
t. Personally I think that whole first scene could be cut out and the movie could have started from that lecture.
I kinda agree. But then again that scene at the beginning helps to add abit of backstory as to the work that she does and why. I guess that beginning scene could have just been shortened instead.
thanks for defending me...lol
Well that was my point that if they looked where the 'dripping blood' was coming from they would have seen that it was toxic chemicals
share16. That titles don't always make sense.
reaping: (verb) To cut (grain or pulse) for harvest.
To obtain a return or reward.
17. In spite of the fact that she seemed like a mentally handicapped Tarzan for the first half of the film, the little blonde girl was only on her period and mellowed out after a week or so. Just like women in real life.
"It's muffin time...
Muffa-muffa-muffin time!"
18- If you lose faith in God, you'l end up with an immaculate conception from
the other side.
Melvin Udall: Police! Donut-munching morons, HELP ME! HELP ME!
Frank Sachs: Shh!
Melvin Udall: Assault and Battery - and you're black!
To number 18, was it really immaculate?
Wasn't there a scene where she was getting funky?
I thought that was when it happened.
Maybe I'm wrong, but it's been a while.
Well, that's how they(the other side)see it as immaculate!
besides, the guy was somehow their analog to the Holy Spirit. No?
Now seriously, it's been a while for me too and the way i remember it, that funky
scene you're talking about was actually her imaginations.. or was it?
can't remember clearly, it was a boring flick for me and i was doing anything
except watching it critically ...
Carol Connelly: *beep* H.M.O. bastard pieces of *beep*
Beverly Connelly: Carol!
Carol Connelly: Sorry.
Dr. Martin Bettes: It's okay. Actually, I think that's their technical name.
GigaHT, It did seem like her imagination or dreaming it (getting "funky" that is). lol But I was thinking maybe it did happen and she was suppressing it and then having dreams of it, maybe?? It was a little hard to follow.

buffy1982, that would be all cleared up in
"The Reaping II: Swanky Son of Satan" lol.
19- you can't scare even a kid with these biblical mumbo-jumbo nowadays.
the last good one was "The Omen"(1976)cuz people were much unsophisticated
back then..
20. There is ALWAYS an expert on hand with some hella old book that talks about exactly what's going on.
21. Girls on their periods actually do not attrack bears (what movie is this from?).
22. Nothing brings faith back faster than facing a town full of Satanists.
Goblin Cannonball: I hit something! Yes?!? No?!?
I think your 21 comes from Ginger Snaps. And I think it involves dogs and/or wolves instead of bears. :)

Zydrate comes in a little glass vial.
I could see that...but it's actually from Anchorman. Brick's line, "I heard their periods attract bears; the bears can smell the menstruation!" The way he said it was hilarious.

GigaHT - That is a great title for part II. They should use it!!

24. This movie was not, in fact, a farm documentary.
share25: Never under any circumstance assume it's alright to turn your back for one second on grilled fish, it will indeed get infested instantly with flies and maggots.
26: Hillary Swank can find any light switch in anyones fruit cellar/pantry without ever being in the house before hand.
All throughout, you see her having these flashbacks/dreams. I believe the evil of the place was unlocking her deep-seeded memories (if you recall, she tells her GA that she thought she'd moved beyond the memories).
IMO, there was indeed a "getting funky" moment, beginning with her walking into the graveyard with her host and being offered "bourbon" (which was actually something spiked with any number of drugs preferred by sexual predators). Not shown, but she likely blacked out shortly thereafter and was used by her host for his own ulterior motives. She only vaguely recalls getting funky due to her drugged state (and she thinks it a dream).
101. The weather will suddenly get dark and fireballs come from the sky, but the town next to you doesn't notice.
102. A little girl is the spawn of Satan and causes 7 deadly plagues, but some dumbass scientist will call her "innocent" and adopt her anyway.
47. That Hilary Swank is easily the hottest woman on the planet.
...Oh, wait, I actually learned that from all her other films.
48. That you can swim in blood with no trouble at all.
49. That by the end of the film all your jewellery will have been torn off
~We gladly feast on those who would subdue us~
50. That Idris Elba is incredibly sexy, even when dissecting a Frog.
---It's such a shame our friendship had to end. Purple Rain. Purple Rain---
Well, she's definetely one of them! She looked so damn hot in this movie!
"I am the ultimate badass, you do not wanna `*beep*` wit me!"- Hudson in Aliens.
She looks like a *beep* teenage boy with bad skin. Only someone who's gay would find her attractive.
Hama cheez ba-Beer behtar meshawad!
51. The Devil seems to really hate priests (The Exorcist, Amityville Horror, The Omen, Exorcism of Emily Rose, etc)
52. Poor Stephen Rea, no one ever listens to him.
53. Hilary Swank can give you dozens of reasons why the river turned red.
54. Loren's mom, like all good (though slightly insane) mothers wonder why Hilary Swank won't kill her baby.
55. Doug sounds like Elvis Presley throughout most of the film.
56. Idris Elba has some really bad luck in horror films, he just can't seem to catch a break.
57. Always blame God when crazy people kill your husband & daughter. It's never the ACTUAL person's fault for doing it.
58. When your town is experiencing strange acts that mirror the plagues, why leave town, you could stay and ride it out.
59. Forget the girl, it's that boy that needs to be dealt with!
60. Loren was like the good version of Samara Morgan, that'd make a helluva fight.
61. When your town is experiencing plagues, don't cook on the stove or use a grill. That'd be wise.
62. I bet Father Costigan doesn't like the song "Fire" by The Ohio Players!
63. Hilary Swank & Idris Elba can survive a locust attack without a scratch or scrape, everyone else will get killed.
LOL, these other posts are great, I always love these "things I learned" posts on IMDb, we have to keep this one going!
