Loved It and Can't Get Why Some Think It Was 'Incomplete'

Just finished it, and was mesmerized throughout. While the film didn't spoon feed information to the viewer, I found I was able to follow along rather nicely. When it ended, I didn't find myself thinking, "WTF? That's it?" So I am puzzled why I read several comments and reviews complaining about how the film felt "incomplete."

Yes, the filmmakers didn't explain why this is happening, but if they had for instance told us that a satellite crashed, or the planets were in alignment or that someone mixed skim and whole milk while chanting the Lord's Prayer backwards, would that have made the film more enjoyable? I don't get it.

Well, I am glad I don't share that opinion, and look forward to the director's next film, hopefully more horror.

I agree and enjoyed it at a lot as well. The one thing that kept jumping out at me though was the lack of cell phones. I kept thinking, it looks like this is taking place in the present but no one seems to have a cell phone! It didn't ruin it for me, it just stuck out as peculiar.

I liked this way better than Triangle. Lena Headey > that rabbit-lipped blonde

that rabbit-lipped blonde was incredibly attractive as the prostitute in "dark city." i wonder what happened to her throughout the years.
