If Cliff came back after... wouldn't that mean...


If Cliff came back after Derek killed him, wouldn't that mean that all those "bad people" Derek is going to feed off will also come back...

So eventually there would be a world with only child molestors, murderers and rapists, and all would be invincible?

I'm hoping he learnt how to feed without turning people by that point.

On the bright side, even if he hasn't, there's also going to be an immortal squad of pissed off Interpol special forces gunning for them.

I believe if they survive they'd turn. I think Audrey at the end said something like she thought he was dying when she left him, meaning she didn't anticipate him surviving and turning.

reply

Not quite. He asked why she chose him and she replied, "You were dying. I thought I was doing something nice." She was trying to save him.

reply

As in dying from his illness.

reply

Yes she did say that. But she meant that he was dying from his tumor and that's why she turned him so he wouldn't die from the tumor.

reply

Exactly. He was asking why she chose him and she said that she knew that he was dying (from brain aunerism) and seen her act as a mercy. She did not taugh him anything about the rules of feeding and turning people (which was quite stupid from here, especially when she seamed to be a "good").

reply

WRONG!!!!! She clearly said that he was an accident!!!! She wanted to kill him because she felt bad for him because he was dying. When his friends came in, she had to leave early and couldn't finish the job. How hard is that to understand???

reply

Nope. She clearly said it was a MISTAKE not an accident. She turned him because he was dying from his illness. Think before you have a go at others.

reply

She said it was a mistake meaning she made the wrong choice. She tried to kill him and she turned him by mistake.

She said she would never create another.

reply

He didn't have a tumour. He had a brain aneurysm.

reply

That's not how I understood her! You don?t have to be so rude about it. Let's just agree to disagree on this one. Have a great day

reply

I don't think so. He turned Clif inadvertently when he didn't know what he was doing. By the end he seems to be a pro, so I'm sure he finishes the job with each one.

reply

The way I understood it was that, if the initial attack kills the victim, they stay dead. But if they survive, they turn.

Derek, thinking that Clif was dead, buried the body. Turning him was accidental.

When Audrey said that turning Derek was "an accident", I think she meant that she now thinks she shouldn't have done it. In fact, the lines that people seem to be arguing over make it much clearer than people remember.

Derek asks why she turned him.
Audrey replies "You were dying. I thought I was being kind."

That is, he was dying of an aneurysm in his brain and she thought that giving him more life was better than letting him die.

reply

She thought she was euthanizing him.

She had no intention of turning him. Her whole reaction to his presence contradicts the implication of turning him to give him life especially since she clearly understands the cost.

She simply didn't finish killing him the first time.

reply

If she made a mistake, like by accident (which word she didn't use on porpoise), and thought she was being nice, meaning she may be a good vampire, do you really think she would pick the guy on, take him to HIS room, and kill him right there? So his FRIENDS would scare the *beep* out of them?
Don't you think that she would kiss him, go to his room with him, turn him out of delirious mercy, take off, and LATER, tell him that he can pick the ones that he thinks deserve to die makes more sense?

I just saw this film and re-watched the scene where they meet again and she turned him into a vampire on purpose. When Derek meets Maurice, her play thing, he was surprised she turned him into a vampire since she hadn't done it in 50 years or so. So we can assume that if she' been feeding for so long she would have been an expert by now on how to turn people into vampires.

When Derek meets with the vampire again she doesn't greet him in surprise like "Holy *beep* you're alive!?" all she does is notice that he hasn't been feeding enough. She later says that she made a mistake and she wouldn't make another ever again but I believe she is referring to the fact that she thought she was doing him a good thing by turning him into a vampire. Maybe when Derek was hitting on her in the bar he opened up with the line "I have a brain aneurysm" like he joked earlier with his friend and maybe she took pity on him.

Also, we can't forget that she just bit his arm when they were in the hotel room. If she wanted to kill him she would have just broken his neck or bit his throat and feed upon him but this also goes against her apparent philosophy of "you can choose who to kill". She was the one who gave him the idea in the first place to kill people who deserved it.

I didn't like the fact that his friend turned into a vampire since it made her turning him without giving any explanation to the rules pretty irresponsible.
