Watched the movie last night. Grlscz had a box with metal pieces (like screws) in it. They were labelled (names of the killed women). What were the "screws"?

If you saw the whole movie, you know about as much as I do, but in case you didn't; they were sort of kidney stones (he passed one near the beginning), there were theories of how emotions travel in the system (he needed "love" through blood), and how these stones are supposed to be manifestations of this. Or something.

Nimimerkist ptellen Suomesta sinkin. Kiitos vastauksesta. Katsotaan meneek tm suomeksi lpi.
En yhdistnyt niit palasia munuaiskiviin kun ne oli kaikki keskenn saman nkisi. Mutta onhan se juonen kannalta ihan looginen ptelm.
Siis Grlscz joi verta ja kehitti uhrista riippuen eri tyyppisi kivi
and the same (more or less) in English [for those few who dont speak Finnish]
Didnt realise they were some sort of kidney stones. Mainly because they all looked the same. It does make sence though.
So Grlscz drank blood and developed different kinds of stones (depending on who the victim was). -

Jep, ksitykseni mukaan.
Tervetuloa IMDb:n foorumeille! Yleens nopeimmin saa palautetta "I need to know" -palstalla, oli elokuva mik hyvns, ja etenkin jos ei ole varma koko filmin nimest (siell saa lyhyell kuvauksella melkein mink ptkn nimen tahansa, jos on vaikka vuosia takaperin jnyt painamaan). -

I think the crystal 'screws' were meant to represent negative emotions tainting the blood of Steven's victims (thus connecting them to despair, disappointment etc.) like he tells Anne later on in the film, when he tells her he doesn't only get the love when he drinks blood, but all emotions. Another hint at this would be the scene in the hospital, when (after helping the little girl) he shows Anne the assortment of crystals and tells her how they are created by all kinds of negative feelings.

It's also possible that all emotions consumed by him produce that kind of crystals, not only the negative ones. My theory is that with Anne he tried to taste a positive emotion, to trick her into giving up her life freely.
