Hate it with a fiery passion. The "twist" is a bullshit cop-out that completely invalidates everything that precedes it. Sloppy, lazy, bullshit screenwriting.

Damn Rod, I thought you would have liked it. :confused:
As for myself, I liked the film because of the sadistic violence and gore.
I did guess the "twist" before the film ended. :rolleyes:

If you ask me it's just your normal copped out killer movie. There really is nothing special to it in my opinion. In no way does it deserve all the hype that it received. I'm not saying I didn't like the movie, I'm just saying it's just your average horror movie with an overally used twist which I have seen in many movies already.

No, 12 Monkeys was a self perpetuating time-travel conundrum

High Tension is a logical nightmare throughout. A hodgepodge of slasher imagery strung together without any concept of continuity.

SPOILERS**************
The killer is constantly in more than one place at a time, like the opening bit with the killer in the pick-up truck WHILE the chicks are driving together. A car chase with one's self? A fistfight with one's self?

I agree with Roderick. The movie, especially the twist was poorly done and there was no thought put into the outcome. Now "The Identity" was much more in depth and was an outstanding movie when it comes to multiple personalities.

ok i just watched it here is what i think the twist did seam kind of FIGHT CLUB. also i felt the dialog was good almost like a japanese horror
but i think the reveal should have waited until the friend is untied and attacks, then do the reveal, not before made it cheap.

and i was asking questions like why cant she find the address for the gas station

but i think worth watching but not the best i have seen

also for any one that thought it was bad what would have been better

and a hot lesbian like that would not wear a bra that would have made the movie better

*SPOILER*

Is it not possible in the beginning of the film that this CRAZY girl saw an actual person and then from there in her subconsience imagined him as a killer (the head thing was her imagination)? You see, this way her imagination creates this false murderer from a source, it's not all imagined. Besides, how do we know how far this girl's psychosis goes? She could imagine herself in two seperate places easily... she's the murderer and she's simply imagining herself hiding from the beast that she's become. Instead of her hiding physically in a gas station or under a bed it's all mental, she's hiding from her darker half and visualising it which we are lucky enough to see. I may not be explaining myself well, I'm very tired, hopefully you get what I mean.
