I never look to see who's at the door either. Don't have a peephole, just open it and see who it is.
Surely it goes like this: he was bi-sexual, the wife didn't know, she finds some gay porn on the computer, she confronts him, they have a fight and he kills her. There's your motive, not that him being bi-sexual was the reason he killed her, simply that her finding out about it was enough to bring about the circumstances under which he killed her. Perhaps she had found it some time before, perhaps they had been fighting about it for weeks, perhaps she threatened to go public with the knowledge and therefore perhaps he hatched the "accidental fall" plan as his cover story - to save his reputation. This being the case, the mistake he made was not deleting all his hard drive and email evidence that he liked men.
He did say that his wife knew, but I don't believe that - when he said she knew in the documentary, it seemed suspect, plus we only have his word that she knew. I can imagine her finding out, being shocked and maybe that's why she was drinking that night.
If he did kill her then it's a clever double bluff on his part to hire the documentary crew so that he can demonstrate his innocence, because - surely no guilty man would hire a tv crew?
I get it, I appreciate what was being done in the film and there were some good elements. But if a film feels like it's starting to drag and you keep checking to see how long is left - and this film is only an hour long - then there has to be a problem somewhere.
[quote]"Your son is missing?" -- then Rod says "Not my son, my friend" and she immediately gets sad that it's not a big case and puts her pen away. Um, sorry, that's just dumb as hell. Is a son missing more important than a friend missing in the eyes of law enforcement?![/quote]
Yes it is, assuming the son is a child - a child is a minor. I think the point of this scene is that she's rightly concerned over a missing boy, but when she realises it's his friend and not a kid, she assumes that he's probably not a missing person. She deduces that his friend is probably the same age as Rod and thus a fully grown man, and therefore low risk, she probably thinks he's gone to Vegas for a long weekend and not told his buddy when he's coming back. I don't think it was anything to do with her disappointment at not getting a high profile missing kid case, open to interpretation I guess.
I assume the previous victims were picked for one reason or another. The main guy, in theory, would have been just another "ugly fat ex boyfriend" in the box of photos, but we know the blind guy picked him/paid for him because he wanted his eyes/eye for photography. I think the guy that got kidnapped at the beginning was a musician, not entirely sure about that, but if he was then maybe he was selected for his musical prowess.
He is her husband in the body of that black guy. His body was obviously deteriorating, so the brother kidnapped that dude (at the beginning of the film) and the mum hypnotised him so they could control him, then the dad did the surgery where they implanted part of the old mans brain into the black guy so the old guy has a healthy new body.
No, I really liked that he killed them all immediately. How many horror films have you seen where the escapee just hits their assailant and runs away, but doesn't actually finish them off? And you just know the killer is going to get up in a minute and have another go at killing them. He did what horror movie victims should do, killed them and moved on. I got the feeling he had seen a few movies and knew what had to be done, no faffing about...kill the dude and Get Out!
Why did he dodge the poles on the subway train as he was walking through?
When he leaves the bank with Whoopi G, it seems as if she instinctively moves her body around Swayze, obviously he is really there, so she is reacting to his physical presence, but in the films context she can't see him, so she wouldn't know exactly where he is. I need to re-watch that though to see if I just imagined it.
She even says he was one of her favourites!
Yes she keeps dating black guys and bringing them back to her family to be sold off. The keys thing is just to build suspense, you're wondering if she's in on it, but hoping that she's not....then BANG - she is in on it!!
