i just watched it on tbs, too. i'm confused as hell, but it was good.

i don't understand the crow, although i have theories...

it's all about fearing the unknown though. nothing to fear but fear itself. etc.

also just finished watching this on TBS...had some creepy moments. what the hell was in the road at the end that could create such a big wreck? I mean seriously, even a big deer won't flip a car off the road. read alot of threads on the ending already, and still trying to figure it all out. is there pieces missing in the TV version that is on the DVD?

reply

I just saw it too. Boy, do I have a ton of questions left unanswered.

While in the car, the family could have seen anyone even an Indian spirit. The car flipped because a) it's a movie b) maybe in a more symbolic way, the family flipped out thus willing the car to flip over.

The same thing that was in the mine, like a werewolf or something.

ok I just watched it on tbs...wtf!!! I mean I only missed the first 15 mins of it. I thought the ending was gonna be so good. The guy in the jail presented like 3 possible outcomes and not one of them were explained or happend. I mean...it's one thing to leave the audience with clues and the mystery leading them to a narrowed out possibility but this was just stupid. I have so many questions that weren't answered. The outcomes are too great! Someone tell me what that movie was all about.

I think that the only person who would have any idea was in the heck happened in this movie would be the Deputy... and since he is fictional, the rest of us will have to keep guessing.

I've seen this movie last year, and I too woke up and saw it was on TBS. I thought MAYBE seeing it a 2nd time I could understand it. But definately not. It wasn't an awesome movie, but it really traps you in and you sit there going "oh my god what's going to happen" and nothing does.

this movie made NO SENSE!!

was it based on the hills have eyes? it was kinda the same lol well the hills have eyes came out in 2006 (and i watched it) but there is also an original one.

anyway this movie was kinda wierd, you couldnt see what it was that was roaming the streets and breathing like a big hairy ape

Confused as hell too, but one thing everyone else seems to be forgetting with their theorys of mutants, and body swapping, there must be something else at work here. The compass in the SUV screwed up when the family approached the town, and the dad and the boy walked for over 5 hours in one direction, and the dad ended up pretty much back where he started. I doubt these mutants would have the knowledge or the power to screw with that.

It maybe similar to HHE(Never seen it), but in this, I think those things that attacked the Hanley family and the people before was probably a supernatural force, because when the Hanleys were tryin to get to Weaver, the trip computer says South, but really goin east, and that Weaver doesn't exist in the new map or doesn't really exist at all. When Jim went to fix the car that was in the desert, someone or something was on top of the hill or boulder watchin him and when he went to the car, it started blowing dust, it was unseen. I thought Ethan, Matt's friend was his step-brother when I first watched it, because his parents were gone on business or vacation. About Ground Zero and the glass that Jim and Ethan saw in the desert was an illusion, and when Ethan went on top of the hill to check and see if he's sees a gas station or diner because the family were stranded, he disappeared, the entity probably kidnapped him and later possessed him when the cops found him, because he wasn't the same. The guy in the jail cell talkin to Jim said that what was part of the town and he says nobody knows, and that people started havin different opinions. The first is is that some kind of neutron bomb exploded there in the 40s and the people didn't leave and got radiated and mutated, while others say that it was build on some kind of sacred Indian burial site and that the spirits of the dead comin back to haunt those who go there, and the guy also said about the area 51 didn't exist officially, but that he sees it and that the government does some kind of research with ets and aliens and have a big hanger and some kind of spacecraft and sells bodies out of it, and Jim thinks it's aliens, but the guy said he didn't say that, he looked confused and tells Jim to get in his car and leave. It was more likely a supernatural force, sometimes it can manifest itself and take on many forms to help or deceive people, even possess people like they did with the people who went to the town, so other people won't know. The symbol in the desert looked like a demonic symbol, the forces used it as a sacrifice to live in a body, the real people died, that's probably why the people were behaving different in the end. The crow that was shown in the beginning and the end was probably the entity manifested as a bird. Ethan and Matt were being stupid, Ethan thought he got bitten by the snake in the desert, but really wasn't and Matt went down to the mine when Pat told him not to, there was no reason for him to go down there. I think what the whole story is about is that the forces played with people's minds.

I kinda figured it out, basically the gov bombed um and the results of the bomb caused a disturbance in nature.. hence the east south dead compass.. the people hit the missing kid in the raod, why the mom freaked so bad b/c they already had the boy asleep in car... the boy in the car is the spirit of a miner or person from back then, the bomb caused a messup in dna and now they live a long time, then they follow the makeup of the people they have killed or found dead, new town is all the old town. When the mom dad bro and sis die the spirit boy goes back to town and the older town members morph to be like they new 4-5 ppl. Old man=dad, Older waitress=mom and so on. this movie is a basic lets get um talking for a long time, and we're all really old ppl stealing your identy, soul sucking movie. My best bet would also put the dead souls as crows, stuck in town forever...

Well, it seems like the director of this movie could not decide if he is more inspired by Hills Have Eyes or Twin Peaks, so he choose the setting of the former and weirdness of the latter. Except he isn't anyhing like Craven or Lynch and the movie turned out to be... a little bit of a mess.
