1. Confused by the ending (help, please) - Buddy Boy ... - MovieChat
My take on the ending is that he discovered she was indeed keeping bodies down there and that he wasn't imagining that after all.
At the very very end when Francis lifts up the rug and looks in the vent thing... what did that mean? I missed the beginning so maybe it had to do with something I missed? I don't know, somebody please help me out.

The Buddy Boy of the title is Francis and he's something of an introvert: certainly shy around girls. He works in some sort of photo lab but mostly spends his time at home caring for his invalid mother, who cannot walk, making models and apparently masturbating a lot. That isn't enough for confession though, as Francis's priest works under the logic that everyone should go to confession and have something to confess. In other words, the important thing is to rack up a list of bad things so that you can confess about them. Whether this is the key driver for subsequent actions, or whether they're just a happy accident, Francis notices a girl living on the other side of the street and becomes an avid voyeur.
