It bugs a lot of people - personally, I think it was a bold move and a genuine shock.
You could say it was over ambitious and stokes contempt, but calmer heads might think it not so 'ridiculous' to reveal a split-personality element near the end of the film. After all, it worked for Fight Club and Secret Window, among others.
I've heard some say that it was 'stupid' and 'sucked loaded balls' to play such a card when we clearly saw the male killer in different places from the girl and that it could not be possible for the two to be as one, but of course this might only apply if the visuals are taken literally (in which case, Fight Club and Secret Window are similarly preposterous).
Haute Tension has played a 90 minute trick on you with its visual suggestions and allegories, so I guess it's understandable some will leave the cinema self-righteously annoyed.
