Subtext[edit]

I removed the supposed subtext of the film from the article:

"The film's take on the slasher genre is an interesting one due to its focus on Kate's search for love. Kate, who is a distinctly unlikeable character, in searching for her perfect man encounters a number of men, including the killer, who are all socially unacceptable yet are all either likeable or attract the viewer's sympathy, both things which Kate struggles to do."

Having seen the film this strikes me as a personal interpretation. We should only put this in if we know its what the filmmaker's intended, or its how the film is being widely interpreted. Jihg 20:52, Feb 3, 2005 (UTC)

It is what the filmmaker intended, he said as much in a Q&A session I attended. Although in retrospect I think you are probably right to remove the section as it was. I don't think there's a problem with including interpretations, although I think they should be clearly identified as such (which in this case it wasn't). Rje 09:10, Feb 4, 2005 (UTC)
Well, if that's what he said... :-) I've put it back in the article. Any details of where he said it? Jihg 14:28, Feb 4, 2005 (UTC)
It was at the Phoenix Arts Cinema in Leicester on December 4 last year, although I believe he's said similar things at other Q&As he's done. Rje 17:43, Feb 4, 2005 (UTC)
Man, that's the last thing I was thinking while watching this movie... I'd also have to disagree with "the heroine Kate comes across as unlikeable at times": I never her found her anything but unlikeable and was hoping she'd just die. Is that based on a verifiable source, or a personal opinion? Mark Grant 01:04, 27 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Controversy - dead babies[edit]

Text states "some viewers" questioned their inclusion; does anyone have a valid reference as such? Nick Cooper 17:26, 17 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

seems too POV to me, I'd remove it, if it remains unreferenced.

Well, for sure they weren't alive inside thoes glass, but i can't tell if they were deformed or something. --R2cyberpunk 17:07, 12 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Final glance[edit]

Unless I misread it, I think this should be how the plot section finishes: ".. state of her clothes. She laughs briefly and then sobs. As she looks back over to the tunnel where she left the creep, her expression turns from misery to alarm, and the film immediately ends."

The implication is that the creep is not dead and has followed her along the tunnel into the station. If anyone else agrees, please make the above change. Open4D 00:13, 28 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Another possibility is taht there is (or maybe are) (an) other Creep(s). --84.44.159.88 (talk) 22:19, 20 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
