This film has a lot of great talent and will leave you asking questions

I love Queen Latifah and Terrence Howard,and It doesn't matter how bad a film may be that they are in, I just enjoy watching them act. And I am not saying that this was a bad film either, It certainly was not an ordinary one and I think that is what they where going for...not your typical serial killer movie. But I do have questions and I believe that was one of the goals that they (writers/producers/actors)wanted the audience to experience. For one, what was Queen Latifas character suppose to be? as well as the guy who was on the next shift after hers? Are they like video cam babysitters for kids who are home alone? Or are they there to monitor deaf kids or kids on insulin? And, how did that kid get the lights back on at the "house of Bodies", is that even possible? And when the kid passed out, did she send EMS to the kids house? How did he end up in the bed when he woke up? Also, If Henry Lee did not kill those girls, did they let him go? And since it was his son who did it, did they catch him? which brings us to the last scene when the killer son is at a bar, was this before or after his killing spree at the "house of Bodies"? Anyone got any ideas?

Okay, just watched this last night and was reading th board today.

I think they were supposed to be some kind of on-call medical technician or nurse. I can't remember what she exactly said but she something about kids with whatever it was that caused his condition. She said she would order him some new insulin and have it there by the morning.

As for the lights, the house was automated to a point. The lights were controlled by the computer in the room. The kid showed that he was able to hack and he might have hacked the house computer and turn them on there.

Lee did kill the girls, years ago. The police were interviewing him to find out about he copycat. Like they interviewed Hannibal lector. It's kind of confusing as the moving is not completely linear. It jumps around a bit. The son did the murders that happened when we saw it. The cops were showing pictures to lee that showed similarities between let's murders and the new ones.

I might even go so far as to say that the interview with lee and the cops happened after everything else in the movie. The last scene at the bar was the start I think. The beginning was the end and the end was the beginning. It was how he got in the house maybe.

Si vis pacem, para bellum.

Yeah you were right they are an on call service for people with disabilities (got a friend that does it)

BUT..... I think that the kid killed ALL of them & the father took the blame for the earlier murders .... Raymond killed again & the press mistakes it for copycat murders.... Howard had figured out that there was only one killer all along .... Raymond!

The End..... Well, it left me really confused....
I had to go back & watch it to see if the girl was the survivor.... NOPE
Was the girl anyone from the house.... NOPE
So my only assumption is that Raymond was still free to go "have a drink"
