Given the scientist had poisoned an entire town's water supply with the same stuff and gotten dozens of innocent people killed, apparently for nothing but his own amusement, there's little pity to be felt for him.]]

* TheSpook: Who is the albino MadScientist? Why does he poison the valley and why is he so obsessed with documenting the results (beyond, apparently, [[ForTheEvulz the shits and giggles]])? Does he work for anybody? The film never answers these questions. At beat, the heroes speculate he could be from another country, but this is never confirmed. Not helping is the fact that neither the scientist nor his minions ever say a word, English or otherwise.

* ForTheEvulz: The motivation of the albino scientist is vague--the heroes presume he's a foreign agent testing out chemicals for warfare, though it's never confirmed--but his sadistic little chuckle when he has a witness killed and his fixation on watching his carnage for hours on end through a pair of binoculars certainly suggest there's nothing greater for him in this than the fun of it.
