Who was the man with the dog?


Can anyone tell me who the man with the dog was, and what was the point of him being in the movie?

He's Jake the Mid-Folker ..I believe he travelled there to "possess" Brian because after Jake got there, Brian thought he was Jake the Mid-Folker and started killing.

Yeah, the only problem is Brian had already started killing. I the first hour of this movie was actually really good, and they hinted at all these things going on that I thought would later become a part of the plot, like: Grandpa Allen's ghost, the guy with wolf/dog, Berenice's little ritual in the church, the clown in the bathroom, the pictures being sent to the father, etc. They had this really quirky, demented family, bizarro movie going on that I was totally digging, and then all of a sudden Brian just starts killing everyone and that's it. I would have liked to see it play out some of the themes that it initiated in the first hour of the film. Oh, well. Not a bad debut effort.

I was still not sure if the Mid Folker character was ever supposed to be real or just in Brian's head. The boyfriend seemed like he was supposed to be clairvoyent, so I figured that's why he saw him when the sister didn't. If he was real, where was that huge canine when Brian killed him?

Yeah, i think he's a kind of a ghoul. When Bernice and Conrad are driving along the road, he is walking with dog and these two don't notice him at all. Actually, he was haunting Brian all the time like an evil conscience and when Brian finally burst they become together as one.

Anyway, the guy's name is Alexander Abadzis and you can see him in these two awesome commercials:
