Spelling[edit]

The IMDB cast list shows the surname as Meiks rather than Meeks, although their plot summary agrees with the latter. Where can we find the definitive spelling? HTH HAND —Phil | Talk 16:08, 19 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I just looked at the credits, and their surname isn't listed, so I guess it's up for debate. --Closedmouth 04:53, 25 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The back of the VHS lists the name as Meiks. I've, therefore, made the appropriate changes. "Country" Bushrod Washington 17:13, 29 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The subtitles in the DVD spell it Meiks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.161.34.243 (talk • contribs) 00:24, February 16, 2007

Really? I must have a really crappy DVD then. I'll double check... —Preceding unsigned comment added by MacGyverMagic (talk • contribs) 20:11, November 10, 2008

The "God's Hand" killer[edit]

"However, the "God's Hand" killer is the real Fenton, who kept the bodies of his victims as trophies in his house basement." Why did Fenton kill people? I thought, Fenton did not believe in the visions of his father and brother... --Moscvitch (talk) 01:28, 20 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Fenton was a serial killer and killed for pleasure, supposedly because he really was a "demon". Annie D (talk) 04:57, 20 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. --Moscvitch (talk) 16:32, 20 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, he was probably physcologically damaged by his father who killed the demons.Androo123 (talk) 22:04, 24 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Fenton was emulating the actions of his Father and Brother in later times to "mock" them. Fenton knew he had a demon in him and why his own father hesitated in killing him. The "actual" killings done my Adam and his father were never discovered. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.74.132.63 (talk) 08:06, 10 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Further to the previous statements, it is mentioned by Adam that Fenton killed in the name of the God's Hand killer in order to lure out Adam.^[1] That Fenton used the nickname to lure out Adam is clearly mentioned in the article. Scoochi2 (talk) 22:16, 8 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

^ Quoth Adam to Agent Doyle: "Fenton knew I'd come. That's why he left those notes to lure me in. I guess he figured when the killings made the news that I'd come for him. But I had to wait till God put him on my list."

Does anyone know if this story is based on the story of Joseph Kallinger? I'm not sure if it is or not, but I just learned about Kallinger today and there are some striking similarities: Kallinger murdered people with his young son, claiming that he was directed by God His older son accused him of child abuse (with two other children out of Kallinger's 7), but then recanted. The son, Joey, was later murdered, his body found in an abandoned basement. Kallinger was evidently digging a giant hole in his backyard or basement... to meditate in or something? I can find no documentation about this. Anyway, maybe some serial killer buff will know more. Uncleosbert (talk) 20:22, 18 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Rating of Movie[edit]

At the bottom of the page, at the details section, it says the rating is R (restricted +18). But I saw this movie at school, surely the teacher did not make us watch a R movie?!Androo123 (talk) 22:06, 24 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I just checked the imdb page, it says the film's rated R there, too. Annie D (talk) 00:27, 25 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The Greatest Game Ever Played?[edit]

Why is a link to this movie at the bottom of the article? Can someone explain the purpose to me? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.19.14.40 (talk) 01:50, 28 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
