Two things unexplained...


1. Whos is the boy in the attic?
2. What about the parapalegic old Chinese man? The chinese lady raises quite the fuss over her "sick" old father many times, but we never see him. They discuss that he is somewhere upstairs, but that's it.

Please help, I have post-film confusion OCD!

Boy in the attic? I thought it was the girl(patient zero) who was in the attic.

reply

Right
When father Alberta took the possessed medeiros girl to the attick in the building, he wanted to find a cure so her took several experiments on near by children, rats etc
That's why the bit came from the attick because when the possessed girl escaped, father Alberta locked himself in the attick where he had put several children he had experimented on

*SPOILERS FOR SEQUEL*

In Rec 2, we realise the little girl was possessed all along.

So it seems the 'virus' develops more slowly in children... And maybe the elderly too. Perhaps the old Japanese man was also possessed all along. This would explain why the whole family eventually gets infected.

Apparently, the sick old Chinese man was just another infected and will be refered to in the upcoming comics after "rec historias ineditas"

The answers are in the 3 sequels.
