* [[spoiler: At the end of the movie, the house is finished, Kim is taken and transformed into one of the homunculi, the grate is sealed up and Sally and her father leave the house behind. However, what happened between that time? The grate was sealed again between the final attempt by the homunculi to claim Sally(it was open when Alex got her out of the house and it was sealed and bolted again when the pair returned). Was there was no investigation into a disappearance in terms of Kim? What about the body of Blackwood's homunculi, smashed flat by Sally's flashlight?]]

* Alex was there late at night when Kim disappears suddenly, with a large number of broken windows and doors and spilled blood left from the night. Wouldn't the police be just a little interested in what happened?
** On that count, Mr. Harris could serve as a witness to the existence of the homunculi, and they have the smashed body of at least one. It's possible that it was a case of the government stepping in and hushing everything up while they studied the remains of the dead homunculus.
* In the bathroom scene, [[spoiler: the Blackwood homunculus]] exits the ventilation and puts its arm around a smaller creature. Most likely, [[spoiler: this creature was his son before they were both transformed.]]
** Sadly(or not, depending on your feelings)the same creature is smashed by Sally with the bookcase when the homunculi attack her in the library.

** Except it's explained in the film that the creatures are only ''pacified'' by teeth, but it's not ultimately what they want. [[spoiler: They crave HumanSacrifices]]

** The whispers of the homunculi at the end of the movie imply that they do worry that something like that would happen. [[spoiler:That's why they decide to go deeper and deeper and wait until everyone has forgotten. Presumably they're able to retreat so far underground that Alex can't reach them and then wait until he and Sally are dead (since the story would sound absolutely insane, there's little chance of either convincing more people to be on guard for the humunculi, after all).]]

** But [[spoiler: Alex and Sally escaped and know what's down there.]] If I were Alex, I'd buy a grenade and get rid of the homunculi that way. Let's see them escape that!

** It's pretty much shown from the beginning that the homunculi basically run the house. Even if they could get concrete into the grate, the monsters could still very easily fight back and escape through the house's crawlspaces. Additionally, the underground furnace is depicted as clearly BiggerOnTheInside, so even by the time you'd get to pour 40+ gallons into the grate, [[YouAreAlreadyDead you'd already be dead]].
