Question about the subway scene...

I noticed that people say Anna gave birth to the monster in the subway. But when I watched the film for the first time recently, I thought the point of the scene was that she had a miscarriage after being impregnated BY the monster.

Did anyone else think this, as well?

Granted, when I watched the movie, I had trouble understanding the lead actress sometimes, so I'm sure there were important details I missed. I'll definitely need to watch it again sometime.

Welcome to Fright Night....for real. 

I know this won't be helpful, and I'm not even trying to be a smart-aleck, but I'd say either, neither, or both could be correct.

This film is so surrealistic, I don't think it spends much time in any kind of reality, so maybe it's a little bit of everything.

Right after that scene she said to Neill "what I miscarried there..."

I think the sequence of scenes was showing her light side dying, and the dark taking over. She lost her faith, and chance remained.

That's an interesting viewpoint smokezey, the preceding scene in the church would support it.
