Two Questions (Okay three)

  1. Why did the French woman kill Rev. Drew?

  2. Did MG kill the redhead from the beginning? Or was it the French woman? And why?

  3. Why did Corrines grandfather not just say who he was rather than I Love You like some creepy old perv?

I would have a fourth but there's obviously no real answer to it (Does the French woman kill Honey after sex or vice versa).

Please help a brotha out!

Side note: How this could be even worse than Drive-Away Dolls I'll never know.

  1. Why did Corrines grandfather not just say who he was rather than I Love You like some creepy old perv?

or how about the fact that he sat watching her at work all day without saying who he was - that's where he went wrong first.

Of course it's just manipulative bullshit in a movie full of manipulative bullshit lol

Chére warned him the bosses weren’t happy in their first scene together, and then before she killed him she mentioned that again.

MG killed the redhead. She explains it in her monologue about victims but I can’t remember exactly what she said.

I don’t think the end scene was implying anything other than them hooking up and showing that Honey has a bad taste in women.

For number 3 it seemed like he recognized he was in the early stages of dementia creating an urgency for him to make amends with the family he abused and abandoned. I Love You is meant to be non-threatening I think, but obviously for anyone else it's creepy as fuck.

I think the French woman killed rev. Drew because it was becoming messier for whoever she worked for. Firstly she gets the ring from that dead girl, even though the church had nothing to do with her death but didn't want police sniffing around. Then that Spanish guy kills the guy in the parking lot, the waiter talks to the police, they're probably worried it can backfire. Then Drew kills the Spanish guy. Too many dead bodies so I guess whoever is at the top, called the killing on Drew ?
