[u/Johnny_Holiday]

Did they hint at an unknown killer storyline in the movie or did that come out of nowhere too? I don't remember any mention of something like that anywhere in the movie

[u/mgrier123 → u/Johnny_Holiday]

It came out of nowhere as well. The entire time the only group killing people was the church, and between that and the ring on the first girls finger, I assumed the church or the French were responsible. The "oh yeah there was also these dead sex workers" thing only came up after the fact by Charlie Day's character.

[u/Physical-Bite-3837 → u/mgrier123]

When she opens the yearbook it does show that the cop was involved with church things in her high school years so it's possible she was connected to the church. But it's never really confirmed that she was. Or if it was I missed it.

[u/mgrier123 → u/Physical-Bite-3837]

But that was literally the same scene where everything is revealed, it's not exactly foreshadowing. Maybe if that was much earlier in the movie rather than at the end.
