so they changed the future but the beast did came to earth after all only in a different host...

The question is how was it set free?

did the blonde guy we see in the end reaching for the mirror set it free by accident?

or was the final trasmition just a dream caused by the traumatic experience of losing his beloved?

fanstastic film!

or... was the movie the dream? A big retcon if you like.

I do think anybody who had been through a situation like that would be in therapy for good number of years. Or just lose it.

I don't think he could set it free without his physiology being altered somehow as with the girl.

My personal take, he did come through, and along came microsoft :p

always thought this was creepy as fuck.

"You are seeing what is actually occurring for the purpose of causality violation."

Also before that: "You are receiving this broadcast in order to alter the events you are seeing."

What it implies is that the big bad made it through in the future, the people of that time knew that they were screwed once that happened, and their last ditch attempt to stop it all was to send that message back to the past to prevent it from ever happening. That's the 'causality violation' bit.

[tgvalentine]

At the end, he says "this is not a causality violation." The only way for it can't violate causality is if those events always happened. But that also means that it's all hopeless anyway. Very bleak future indeed. I agree with whoever commented about the fatalistic desperation of this as a last ditch effort.

And while i'm at it, I'll put my two cents in as well. According to relativity, you can't change the past. The spacetime continuum exists as is, and we experience it as we perceive time to unfold. So the shadowy figure was always that chick, it was just hard to tell because of the poor audio/video. But as they got closer to the day she actually went into the mirror, thus cementing her fate, the transmission got clearer. The transmission was to a specific date and location of the earth in space.

Wow. Creepiest movie EVER. Only movie to give me nightmares since I was a little kid. And I was like 15 when I saw it. Lol. Good job. Now i'm creeped out all over again.

It also may be that in the apocalyptic version of 1999 Lisa Blount's character is alive and that she had to sacrifice herself in order to prevent the creature from coming through otherwise the apocalyptic future comes true

@godlikemalice amen to that

[pickledtochus]

Long Live Satan! lol, xD

An awesome film - one of my faves by Carpenter - outstanding :x

[billkasperdotcom]

Starring Manos, The Hands of Fate

[PizzaBagelX]

The message is Brian's. It's his message from the future to prevent Catherine from sacrificing herself. He is the one who theorized about using Tachyons to send a message to a point in history. My theory is that he spends the next 12 years (from 1987, to the yeat 1-9-9-9) working on technology to send a message to the past.

Looks like the bald priest was the original "host" in the original timeline for the anti God
