So in the end, he succeedes to win the heart of his daughter by making her believe that he’s her prince charming who defeited the bad guy. And the bad guy in question was just some patient or nurse that he manipulated into putting his own face to act like him and make his daughter believe he was dead.

Since they both leave with ‘eels’ inside if them, it is not far fetched that since the mad doctor was consumed by eels, that his persona and wishes were also integrated into the eels 7th senses- and shared with those infected and hosting eels (note the zombie like connection of the patients to do the perverts will). The devilish smile is the perverted father having his way ‘anyway’ from within .. and thus the wicked pedophile smile.

I don’t know, my theory about the grin is also a bit lame. To me, Lockhart is lucky to be free. He seems also a bit like a naughty little boy to me. In this meaning he’s a mirror image to the child woman Hannah. This visual don’t match that in a classical hero’s journey this scene could be the final point of a character’s developement. He rescued the girl, (well, in fact, it’s her who saved him and who has chosen him to escape with her). And he matured through killing the “evil father” Volmer and beeing able to escape from his once choosen autorothy, the company ( who made his own, “too good father” to a looser in his eyes). This makes sense, but I’m not sure, it is really matching. Ok, Lockhart was never a hero in this sense, in a way, it’s refreshing to have a unsympathic character as lead.

On the other hand, it feels wrong to see this inmature, damaged couple leave together. Hannah’s last unsure look reminded me a bit of the ending scene in “The Graduate”.

Life/Money drained from those patients is used by those companies as life portion for their own wellness and for their generations. The marriage with sister/daughter showing that they don’t believe any religion or ethics. Eels are symbolized for antibodies/antibiotics.
