watched this movie this evening, was pleasantly surprised. Thought it kind of fell apart around the ending but i was enjoying it up until then, anyways:
Why don't the Harvesters just kill Jenny? They continue to kill Ian every day so that he can't remember what's going on, yet the only reason for him to live is for Jenny, the Harvesters knew this so why didn't they just kill her?
confusing little story.
I agree.
If they killed Jenny and several times him maybe he could completely forget about her. He remembers her after he is seeing her. But if she isn't there he won't remember her. Also why they create another memories/worlds for him with JENNY?! Not just him and the rest of the world without putting Jenny back there just removing it.
Like in the movie the Matrix you could just uninstall some program in the Matrix like the Oracle and it will be gone lol :D.

I don't think they knew exactly who Jenny was for awhile. They knew he stayed for a reason, but I don't think they knew exactly why at first. Maybe later they knew it was for Jenny but wasn't quite sure who Jenny was.? I'm not sure. I own this movie and have seen it a dozen times. Love this movie.
shareThey want him to return to what he really is. They almost had him kill Jenny during the subway scene. I think that's what they want: If he kills Jenny, he kills his connection to the human world and is restored to demonhood.
This is only my second time viewing the film, so perhaps my interpretation is wrong. It's on EPIX On Demand (free service), and I plan to watch it again, perhaps more times if I have the opportunity.
I gave it a 6 but might raise that a point after more viewings if I still enjoy it and remain intrigued by it. I've seen so many utterly rotten horror movies, especially recently, so one that gives me an interesting storyline and doesn't slop it up with nudity, sex scenes, ultra-gore and f-bombs makes it worth the extra points. Oh yes... No "zomboids" is a step in the right direction.
EDIT: I must add that I'm a child of the Fifties who grew up with horror films. So, in no way am I a newcomer to movies, and I have viewed countless films of many genres. I don't expect anyone to view this in the same light I do. I must say that I NEVER go by the rating at any movie site.

I thought it was a good movie. Not great, but better than I expected. I enjoyed it.
The Harvesters didn't kill Jenny because they didn't know how special she was to him. They didn't know that his love for her was what made Ian able to kill them. They didn't know that his love for her was what motivated him to turn on his own kind. They started to figure out that she was important and that's when they started targeting her as well.
They want him to return to what he really is. They almost had him kill Jenny during the subway scene. I think that's what they want: If he kills Jenny, he kills his connection to the human world and is restored to demonhood.
They did mention this but it was a pretty fast mention.
when they had him in the hospital bed, the female harvester said to Ian, 'we don't know how you keep bringing her with you', meaning that 'THEY', as a collective whole, don't know how Jenny was always showing up in 'their' worlds for Ian.
