Why did Bughuul have the children kill their families?
If he needed to consume their souls, what was the purpose of killing the families?

Children are usually considered innocent and free of sin.
So the demon needs them to commit murder not only to ruin their souls but create a connection between our world and his. Then he can take them.

Sorry, but there is no right answer, just hypotheses.
Maybe they explain everything in a sequel, but I really hope they won't.
Sorry, but there is a right answer. Ethan Hawke's character talks to Vincent D'Ofrio's crazy professor character about negative energy and spirtual turbulence at least twice in tne movie.
You didn't need a degree to figure out what was going on, you only had to pay attention.
I'm refering to the Op question. Why did Bughuul have the children kill their families? There is no right anwer, just some Hypotheses.

So that the house will be vacated and another family can move in and continue the progression. Can't do that if the child just disappears. The family would stay on, searching for years for the missing child and the demon would be forced to wait.
shareI assumed it was so that no one was left behind to warn the next family to avoid watching the movies.
shareMaybe because they didn't put a spoiler alert in their thread title.
Hail to the king, baby.
My off the wall theory is that by destroying the people who gave them life they are somehow in some weird metaphysical way destroying/denying themselves. Sort of invalidating their own existence.
Also compelling a child to murder represents the destruction of their innocence. The very thing that defines a child.
The best answers I have seen are that by having the kids kill the families he eliminated the evidence so nobody would be able to say what happened and that he needed the family out of the way so another family would move in and he could then start over to get another child. And I believe these make a lot of sense.
shareSo there could be this movie.
