Speaking for myself, I wasn’t looking for an unexpected twist, but I was hoping for an ending that did not include thriller clichés like–
-
A chase
-
A shoot out
-
An unrealistic fight on which people take savage beatings or injuries and still manage to keep fighting
-
An “out-of-nowhere” gunshot to save the day by an off-screen person who we thought was down for the count
-
A family reunion
-
An “I saw the light” near death experience
And I was disappointed that certain questions were so strongly emphasized but not resolved, like: -
Was Audrey molested as a child or what? Why did we spend so much time with that issue if it were not to be resolved?
-
What did the Yellow King have to do with this? Was a Yellow King costume part of the ritual killing?
-
Why were two (?) of the murders do publicly revealed when the cult has taken pains to keep its countless murders secret?
-
Was Errol Childress some kind if mastermind or a simpleton gone rogue? If the cult was careful to make sure Rev. Tuttle wouldn’t expose them, why would they let an apparent loose cannon like Errol roam free?
-
WTF was that all about when Errol Childress suddenly started talking like Cary Grant? What was the point of showing us that?
Oh and a minor point, I think I missed the part where Marty actually found a telephone.
