What do you mean? All the trippy stuff that happened after Jack Delroy ran off stage? Here's my take: In short, he was part of 'The Grove', which that satanic cult also had something to do with. There he took part in a ritual, where he made a pact with the Devil and sold his wife's soul; all to become the number one talk show host. He loved his wife, obviously, and didn't think it would work, but he was desperate, and in the end it did, in fact, work. I'd assume he did become number one that night, beating Johnny Carson's ratings... but only for one night. That's how making deals with the Devil works, I guess. Be careful what you wish for.
I dunno, I've just finished watching it myself and I'm still kinda processing it. I'll have to rewatch it again in a few days. But overall, I liked it.
I also read a theory about his wife being a vengeful spirit and that it's her who's after him. But again, I'll have to rewatch it. I do remember her popping up throughout the film, every now and then.

Well, when they filmed that scene - which was purely for shock value - they didn't exactly expect him to actually die in real life, now did they?
And, seriously, Hard to Kill is a must. It's wonderfully stupid.
Some "good" choices would be:
Hard to Kill (1990), On Deadly Ground (1994), The Glimmer man (1996), Half Past Dead (2002), Against the Dark (2009), Sniper: Special Ops (2016), China Salesman (2017) ... And there are probably many more.
Well, there is an ending, sure, but nothing is really explained.
There was a salary dispute, so she chose not to return.
Well, the "plot" is that two kids - four and six years old I believe - wake up in the middle of the night, to find that their dad is missing and that all of the doors and windows, to the outside world, are gone. They then take their blankets/pillows and some of their toys and "build a fort" - so to speak - in the living room, where they watch old cartoons and wait for their dad to return. Then something tells them to "come upstairs" and weird imagery/nightmarish stuff start happening. One of the main things about it, is that we never actually see the faces of the kids, even though they're our main characters. They're mostly filmed as silhouettes or just their feet walking about. It's kinda hard to explain, but the guy who made the film has a Youtube channel, where he mainly makes "strange nightmare videos", which I guess kinda gives an idea of what to expect.
Here a link to his channel:

(The "Nightmare Forever" video he made, gives a somewhat good idea of what to expect from the film, so to speak)
I'm a huge fan of Black Metal - and Metal/Rock in general - but I know it's an "acquired taste", so to speak. Started listening to Mayhem, Emperor and Old Man's Child, back in the mid 90s. I won't necessarily say that I hate pop music, but it quickly becomes repetitive to my ears, especially newer pop music; but then again, each to their own. It's like modern rap, it absolutely sucks. Loved NWA, Tupac, Biggie, Eazy E, etc. back in the day, though.
