So who was the creepy woman


Who was that creepy woman who kept eyeing up the back guy and eventually led to his death. We never found out about the black guys back story (or did we?). Did she have some importance to him?

Anyway. This was a fairly enjoyable found footage movie. kept me entertained to the end and had a couple decent scares. 6/10 seems like a fair score

I still want to know this, too.

Me too. I'm guessing she was there for Benji, but I have no idea why. He kept freaking out at the music; it must've meant something to him.

There is no objective reality... and that's Sucker Punch

He first sees her outside the club, then again in the tunnel. It could just be she's a demon, and she chose to target him for whatever reason. Or perhaps, she's real and a satan worshipper, so she noticed him inside the club, then again in the tunnel, so she decided to follow him in and kill him.

Though hard to win an argument with a smart person. It's impossible to win an argument with an idiot

It seems that she has something to do with Zed. When she pushed, or startled, Benji she was holding a baby. And right before we heard child noises. I relate her to Zed because his admission of guilt is that he has a child that he does not acknowledge.

There is a bit of ambiguity, but that's the best I can think of. Why she attached Benji I don't know.

I read somewhere that the director/writer said she was part of whatever haunted Benji. He never made plain why because he said he wanted to leave some of their histories a mystery.

We started off on the wrong foot. Lets stay that way.

Very interesting appearance, I watched the film a year ago and still can't forget this character. It seems that the actress likes weird roles: https://vimeo.com/106804928

Yeah, like others say, she is never acknowledged by anyone other than Benji. It's great their backstories were kept unrevealed and we find flat out some of the characters secrets were relevant at the same moment they do.

got blunt?

Shunji Iwai is an underrated director.
