No I didn't have problems with the film's lack of an explanation, actually I prefer my movies when they leave something for me to think about and I dismiss any criticism related to that as a fault of the filmmaker when it's a fault of the person watching it. Back to the film itself, I think this was a seriously cool atmospheric little movie, echoes of Lynch and Carpenter are obvious in the music and narrative, I though the first half is more sucessful in setting the tones and pulling you in it's secrets, but Sam simply looked too indestructible in the later half of it and that kind of deflated the tension built up to that point and it bothered me a little. I don't want to dive into spoilers here, I have my own interpretation of what happened and I'm satisfyed with it, think about it as you watch it and find your own conclusions since that is also part of the fun in a film like this.
