The second twist ruined it for me

Yeah, it was lame. I wasn't too impressed with the actual "twist" either.

Pretty stupid. With all the craziness leading up to even that, I was losing interest. This turn just made it brainless. Then, we go back to the motel, which we know now doesn't exist in the first place. What's the point?

No way, the lazy Hollywood ending you want would have been meh. The final twist was yet another excellent surprise, and made sense - this guy is a criminally insane multiple murderer, having his compassionate psychiatrist turn out to be a fool who gets himself killed was a nasty surprise.

I can’t fault it, other than the slightly silly montage of the kid slaughtering everyone, that could have been handled better.

I thought the final twist was forced, but as I recall, the writer actually intended that on purpose. Evil masquerading as innocence, or something. It was intentional, but frankly I didn't think it was executed very well.

I think they needed to build up these characters more to have a payoff like that be worth it. Either have clues that could have led us there, are some thematic arc to make the twist "necessary". Because the way they pulled it off, it just comes off as one of those generic b-movie endings, where the villain is still alive just to give a precredits scare.

I don't mind not having a happy ending (two of my favorite films are Midsommar and Oculus). But here, it felt a bit lazy in my opinion.

EVERY personality in this guy was dangerous. There was no innocent, cute boy hidden inside the killer. Made perfect sense.

I was fine with the idea that the whole outback cafe location was a delusion, and that they turned out to be his personalities. (are many people called 'Paris'? the only person called Paris I know of is the s'leb). When he strangled the guy in the car at the end, was that suggesting that every time he killed a person (one of his personalities) in the movie he killed someone in real life? or during the length of the movie was he just killing off his own personalities. I figured that the final car twist was setting the way for a sequel

It actually saved it for me. I remember being so disappointed with the DID/MPD twist the first time I saw it that I blocked out the second twist.

I think the movie would have been better if it just hinted at the DID/MPD stuff and it wasn’t so explicit. Let that be the frame, but let the innards be its own complete thing.

I loved it. I can't believe the number of people that cannot comprehend the boy represented evil and was not actually an ordinary little boy killing people 🙄
