Questions + Thoughts... (spoilers)

Questions:

Did I miss something? I feel this movie could have explained better... what were those creatures? Where did they come from? How did the girlfriend know the cop was in on it? There were no clues (to me at least) that the cop knew... it just like came out of nowhere. What other titles did they have in mind to finally conclude to use "The Midnight Meat Train"? Like really, bad title.

Thoughts:

Was I the only one who kept wanting to scream out "TURN THE *beep* AROUND!" I think they had too many of those 'moments' in the movie.

This movie is grosser then any Saw movie.

I was surprised at the amount of familar faces in the movie. Little weird seeing Taj as a cook instead of a doctor though.

I just watched this. I have waited a long time to see it and I finally decided to order it on amazon. I was really excited since I am also a photographer. However I agree that there were too many plot holes and undeveloped ideas in the movie.
I think the creatures were called the fathers, a secret society that runs the world. Go to this FAQ link on IMDB to read about them as they are described in the short story. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0805570/faq

The cop being a part of it came out of nowhere but I did notice the ring symbol matching the necklace she wore. I did somehow see it coming as with most movies like this there is someone that already knows too much. I was thinking the whole time that Leon was actually Mahogany and that there was going to be a fight club twist ending. How the girlfriend knew is up to anyones guess. Maybe her annoying personality led her to being susceptible to knowing things we would never know.

They had way too many turn the heck around scenes as well as too many convenient scenes (Leon knows exactly when to raise his feet up in the meat locker).

I was very excited to see a standard serial killer movie with a photographer investigating it movie. What I got was another Clive Barker demon mess. I should have expected it... no wait... I knew it was going to be like that somehow deep down I just knew it.

Plus the art in this movie sucked. However I would love to have a Leica M4.
