Glad I read this. I thought for the "trade" the "thing" just threw out one of the dead pets or something, it happened so fast I didn't notice it was the fetus. I got every thing else and the point of the "trade" but jeez, that is even creepier.
Really great movie btw. -

Great summary. I see is similarly but slightly different. The insect is a creature from another dimension, with the power to capture people and make them invisible to others.
Callie unknowingly traded the food, for the jewelry. When she returned the jewelry, the insect "insisted" on the trade by putting it on her pillow from the walls of her house. However, it also saw her spit the little insect down the drain, and thus "fixated" on her. Next, it tried to initiate a trade by returning Daniel in exchange for something. When that failed, it took Daniel back. Finally, it forcibly initiated a trade by killing Walter Scott and leaving him there. By doing this it lost both Walter AND his son, who was basically trapped in the area and forced to constantly bring pets. So in exchange, it felt entitled to take two lives, Tricia and her unborn fetus. In the end, Callie tries to initiate a final trade but it goes horribly wrong. -

It's on Netflix, at least here in Canada.
I didn't see the part where Tricia lost her baby.
What part in the movie did that happen??
It's only shown in the background when Callie goes to the tunnel and yells "Trade" over and over. The fetus appears on the ground behind her but it's out of focus.
