Question (Possible spoilers)



There was a bit I didn't quite get in the film. After things started to go wrong for Martha and Karen, a man came round to the house. They let him in and he looked like he was starting to unzip his jacket. Karen then said "Just stop it!" and started freaking out. What was all that about? Any thoughts?

Yeah, I kind of got the impression that he was there really to gawk, & that's how both women felt - that they were like freaks on display, by the way he was staring.
