i do know that this movie does not necessarily tie up and bit of lose ends, but it still bothers me with a few surface questions!
if the lady in the scarlet dress was haunting him, was it because he killed her years ago when he visited her after he saw her at the window, or another reason? if so, was the main motive due to him having to leave her and in the fit of argument and anger, he killed her, to the fact that she would say smth along the line of being alone, and being left behind? or was it true that she died waiting for someone, preferably him to come?
if indeed he did not come, why does she haunt him? is the reason because she saw him on the ferry as it went by the building? and if he did not come, why did the ghost of her say that she forgive only him when went to the building? maybe he really did not even went to see her before years back, as his visit in the film showed that he was unfamiliar to the place. but there is the possibility of him going amnesiac after his "murder"?
but it drives to another branch of questions that her bones remains looked as though she simply stood there till she died, but what was that supposed burnt marks (if there were indeed burnt marks) that stood like a shadow from her remains? and so, it leaves us with the last question regarding the red lady, why does she forgive him and loves him when you look at both branches, he did not affect her in any way romantic.
maybe she was a lunatic, with a deranged mind that she was crazy, if so, why does she want everyone dead, when she is protecting him? the red lady is a big mystery here, her story is very interesting. but other than this, we should also look at another major question mark point. the girlfriend, whom we all know is dead, that she died. was it in his hands that she really died? died in the same way as the other victims, when there is the possibility of the red lady possessing him to kill her as she has done so with the other suspects?
but if that was true, then why was there a scene of the other policeman who was on sedative at the quack, which explains/explores the bit on him seeing and helping out in an accident where he is now being haunted by his victim, whom happen to be the lead character's girlfriend? or am i thinking on the wrong route as there could be a chance that he is now being haunted by a ghost after he sees an accident?
and so why was she screaming without a voice to him, to tell him the way she died or simply because she was involved in an accident where she was screaming so loud? now that leaves the doctor, why was he so affected? it was as though he was in the know about a ghost who have the ability to do what it does? or was he also dreaming of the ghost? think about it, if i was dreaming of a pretty ghost in red, and i am a psychiatric who have patients who are dreaming of pretty ghost in red haunting them in dreams too, i would gladly discuss with him more on what the hell is going on!
i know it may sound funny, but when you consider these facts, im still so puzzled with it all. i do like watching things that help me explain, cos the thinking that i go through is so not worth it (like now where i probably have opened up some branches of more questions!)
but kudos to this movie for being able to make write a "review" so long! even the movie jacket didnt gardner such a response from me. so indeed it deserve more stars than what it got!
