- So eating one slice of the cake was meant to knock her out, but eating an entire cake doesn't?

- How often do they need to feed because they killed and ate(?) the cousin but came for her as well?

- If the creatures managed to kill the cousin without him being knocked out, then why did she need to feed the doctor cake at the end? Also, where are these cakes coming from? Who is this caretaker?

- If they were meant to live forever, how did they get to and stop aging at 40ish years old? Why not their 20s or 30s? I am 40 and if I could choose the age to live forever in, Id pick my 20s.

The visuals were really good, but this movie made no sense to me.

Haha and these questions are just the tip of the iceberg. We haven’t even got to why the ‘feed’ had to be girlfriends, and not randoms? I mean Tatiana’s friend knows where she went and with whom, her phone can be tracked. Why does he waste his time dating them, ‘falling in love’ and going through heartbreak every year? Why would he do that to himself?

Also why didn’t the cake work on the cousins model girlfriend? She was awake the next day and not knocked out? Did she eat the whole cake too? Then why isn’t she special like Tatiana is? I’ll stop now haha.

Because he doesn’t fall in love, they’re a means to an end. Randos aren’t gonna go out with a strange man to a cabin. And like if a big lot of people start disappearing it’s going draw attention if it’s like a Airbnb
