WOW, having the privilege to read other's people input on movies here on IMDb makes such a huge difference, especially for movies like "Spider"...
Well, the way I understood the movie really made me wonder what I was doing yesterday night while watching it, I'm rarely this far off. But since mostly everybody agrees on one particular version of the story, here's mine, just for kicks:)
Spider's dad starts having an affair with Yvonne. When his loving wife accidentally discovers the affair he, it the heat of the moment, kills her. YES, THUS FAR I AGREE WITH YOU, WHAT THE HELL WAS I THINKING! It was even freakishly incoherent while watching the movie, but I went along with it since Gabryiel Byrne's character seemed irresponsible and lacking respect for his family. But it all fit perfectly from here on, so please read on, who knows, it might even make sense to you too.
So OK, kills the wife, buries her, tries to convince the son that the local hooker is his mom (irresponsible and lacking empathy remember), and fails to do so. The son knows what his dad did, of course despises the hooker because she has no respect for him and then successfully kills her with CO2 emissions from the stove. But the fact that he killed her eats away his sanity, he's so out of it he literally goes insane and starts sticking his thumb up his ass (sorry for elaborating here, the movie doesn't explain those freaky fingers)
OK, so far so goo...well, you decide, myself I think I went mad for those two hours yesterday as well... He goes to some nut house, gets released to live in another nut house. The woman in charge is so abusive and disrespectful she starts reminding him of the hooker so eventually she becomes the hooker in his mind. He gets a hold of those keys and tries to kill her off for good (OK OK, it does sound ridiculous) and gets caught in the process. As soon as the woman wakes up and asks his what he's doing he realizes it's not the hooker and well, that's kind of it actually.
I thought this movie was ultra pointless, because what you've just read.........................hello, anybody still here....well, to the lucky person who's just wasted 3 minutes of his life..........................made no sense at all.
I need to see this movie again so I can up the grade, wanted to give it a 6 (for shere performance of the actors) but it sounds like an 8 at this point.
7/10 - to be on fair grounds
