When the devil girl sees the real one and she get shocked that 'who the hell is that girl in the car' is the moments the movie tricked us all. As long as you are devil you know who you are and you know your mission.

Okay you may be in an accident and you lose some of your memory but before it you know exactly who you are, so why the hell she was so shocked at the start and in the apartment when he killed the real girl he wasn't shocked anymore and she killed her with that devil like face. I don't say it wasn't guessable that the person we saw the devil itself but i don't like the idea of tricking people into whatever you want just to make the movie more interesting!

Well right now I'm watching, for a second time, the movie, to see now how she is really reacting as the Devil one. I'm sure we see how she react for the first time when she's calling Stephan, and then she see the car... Well, I don't see shock on her face, but curiosity, as she's looking at her human double. It's the same until she kill the human. BUT, it's true that after the kill, in the car, just before the accident, she looks shocked or nervous.
That's what I think! And I had to watch the movie twice to notice it really.

The daddy obviously is a Skull & Bones member of high degree, so he was testing his kids to introduce them to The Order.

If I understand what you've written correctly,you may have got it the wrong way round.The girl who passes in the car at the start is the doppleganger.The real Gina then follows the double to the apartment where she is attacked and killed BY the doppleganger,which is the scene we see in flashback near the end.The audience has been tricked;the decisive moment is when it cuts from Gina hearing the doppleganger's foot-steps approach in the apartment,to seeing "Gina" leave in the car(actually the doppleganger).The thing that spoils it for me is Gina's worried look as she spots the wound on her head in the seconds before the crash.Why would an evil double be worried about a small head wound?

Sorry, ian-wr, I believe you are confused.

Gina in the phone booth is the doppleganger. She calmly but carefully follows the real Gina home. You can see it's the "real" Gina in the car in the final flashback, as she is happily chatting up Stephan on the phone. There is other evidence of this if you are not convinced.

IMO, the nervousness of the doppleganger before the accident is due to spotting the blood spatter on her face, which won't do in public.
