Dead End wasn't "original", the same story/twist is used in a bunch of movies. Some worse, some better. Here's a few.

Dead End (2003)
November (2004)
Stay (2005 - but was made earlier)
Reeker (2005)

All involve the exact twist. All done differently. Three of the four use the exact car crash incident. All of them have the same reveal at the end.

I really want indepdant film makers to get off of this twist-style.

I'd say Stay was the first, and November wasn't aware of anything else. Dead End might have heard the idea somewhere, and Reeker was aplain rip-off of Dead End & Identity.
