stupid ending

i can't help but feel extremely let down by the ending of this film. it was so random and pointless. the rest of the film was good and i had invested a good hour and 30 into this film to see what the ending was going to be like. the fact that it was all monsters was pathetic. it was like the writers couldn't think of anything better so lets just put something completely unbelievable into quite a believable story up until that point. from then i didnt even care that the fiance died and he had his tongue ripped out due to the fact that there were monsters. the film completely lost me at this point. also it is ridiculous that leon decides to join them and become the next serial killer. why would you do that? why not run to the police show them you dont have a tongue and tell them what the fk happened. i highly rate this film in terms of quality and gore though. very scary parts

Lol at all the let downs of evolution here. Its based on a short story by Clive Barker. And in that short stofy are monsters. Wow the level of intelligence of Americans. How they frustrate me!

Don't really give a dried rat turd that it was based on Clive (Carnival) Barker's short story. What is it about that clown that people think he was some sort of horror Magi? The human-eating creatures were pure unadulterated SCHLOCK, and unoriginal SCHLOCK at that. For those of us that were around long enough, 1984 gave us C.H.U.D. Possibly one of the dumbest movies ever made—about a race of underground dwelling creatures that popped up through manhole covers in the streets and abducted their human meals. But even C.H.U.D. was unoriginal if you want to cite H.G. Wells introduction of Morlocks over 120 years ago. So that element in this film WAS stupid as well as unoriginal.

If the level of American intelligence frustrates you, stop reading messages on an American-owned website frequented by "un-evolved" Americans. If you immigrated to, and live in America and still have such disdain for the other people who live here (who, by the way, are descendants of immigrants), why don't you move the f_ _ k back to whatever evolved country you immigrated from and ignore IMDb.

Diptwit!

i am with ya, that was pretty silly. yes, i understand that it is based on the clive barker short story, which does not make it any better, he isn't unfailable.

actually i am surprised that so many people are actually satisfied with this ending up to a point that they accuse others of not paying attention, which is actually quite common with this kind of lowered expectations.
