Help - A few things I missed.

I apologize if any of these things were blatantly clear in the movie, and I just missed them. (I watched it with my scaredy-cat boyfriend, and couldn't fully pay attention)

#1. Was there any further significance to William shooting the little boy after the bank robbery? Was it simply to show that he wasn't completely heartless (after displaying some guilt about it)?

#2. When/Where did Clyde find the voo-dooesque doll?

#3. When they were about to enter the house for the first time, it was daylight, but when they walked through the door, it was night time. I know that some directors do this intentionally to create a sense of "wrongness". But, it was obnoxiously obvious. Was there a deleted scene or something?

I think that's it.

I am still undecided as to whether or not I liked the film or not. It was nothing extraordinary, but it wasn't painful to watch either.

thanks!

Hi
I just got through watching this movie and didnt like it very much myself.It was boring and the so called scary parts were tired,been there done that in sooo many movies lately.Not one scare did I get from this movie.To try and answer your questions,here goes:

I felt that he showed remorse like you said,to show he wasnt totally cruel and hearless.

I remember the guy finding the doll in the room that was the childrens room I believe,I could be mistaken about the exact room,but I remember him finding a doll that looked like the scarecrow with the eyes and mouth sewn shut.

I think the lighting appeared so suddenly because it was almost dark when they approached the house and it was raining,so it could have gotten dark that soon.
Hope some of this helps.I was VERY disappointed in this movie.
5/10

when he sat on the bed he also sat on the doll.. don't know if it was visible in an earlier shot, but he did sit on it

Yeah, he sat on it and picked it up and was like "what a f*$&^# up looking doll" (didn't say it mind you,it was just written all over his face.

The kid thing, yeah I think your right there...he's not completley heartless. BUT, I was also thinking that maybe it was because he killed a child that he turned into that thing at the end of the movie, like a punishment or something...Who knows!

It vexes me. I'm terribly vexed

Just got done watching the movie, and boy did it suck. Suck hard. Repetitive and predictable... to the MAX!

Anyway... (and some spoilers may be ahead)

The initial sequence with the dead kid was completely pointless really, pretty much every liking you could take towards William was eventually destroyed at the end of the flick, with his reaction towards the gold (Which came out of nowhere, the movie had setted up a couple of characters acting like complete asshats, the "greedy bastard" role could've fitted them a lot better, too bad the director decided to kill them off so abruptly).

As far as what the above poster said, I really don't think that the kid at the beginning had any incidence in what happened, the reason William got turned into one of those things could have been caused by the supernatural influence in the farm, the fact that we saw Sam like one of those when he blew Todd up (Seriously... what the christ was up with that scene... stupid stupid stupid) and the two soldiers in the end stating that "there was another one of those things" a bit further into the corn field tells us that the whole transformation deal was not something that was happening exclusively to William.
