Three Things That Don't Make Sense


1) The parasites remove rationality and turn the residents into raving sex maniacs, yet the owner manipulates that couple into the office to trap them. That would involve restraint and stratagem.

2) The residents pursue one another at normal speed, yet at the end when they come over the hill they're all stumbling along like typical zombies.

3) This is more of a question. When the topless black woman comes out with a guy on top of her, then they wrestle on the ground was she actually fighting him off, or had she been infected and just playing rough?

"1) The parasites remove rationality and turn the residents into raving sex maniacs, yet the owner manipulates that couple into the office to trap them. That would involve restraint and stratagem."

I think they can still think, they're just horny...like, more horny than ever before. There's a couple other scenes where people show restraint too, when the one girl runs from her husband to the other woman the woman consoles her for a time before trying to jump her bones...also the old dude that starts getting it on with his daughter is talking somewhat rationally to St. Luc...I think the idea is that some people just have more self control than others...the guy eating the pastries in the elevator definitely didn't have much...but Tudor was infected for a long time (so was the girl and the guy who's in the doctors office near the beginning) and they were all acting rationally.

"2) The residents pursue one another at normal speed, yet at the end when they come over the hill they're all stumbling along like typical zombies."

Either they had him trapped and so weren't in a rush or it was just more suspenseful that way :)

"3) This is more of a question. When the topless black woman comes out with a guy on top of her, then they wrestle on the ground was she actually fighting him off, or had she been infected and just playing rough?"

I'm guessing they were just having rough sex...it never really says though.

THOSE are the burning questions in your mind after watching this movie? Really?

My burning question is why the hell St. Luc didn't try to help her. A$$.

My burning question is: How the hell did all of them get outside on that hill, when they had ALL been in the building minutes before? And how did they know to hid right there for the "hero" to come right at that moment.

Oh...and several of them that had been covered in blood were suspiciously clean during the finale, but wearing the same clothes. Except for the nurse.

But that begs the question: Where the hell did that purple top come from?
