Personally, I don't mind that Aja didn't spell that out completely, leaving it up to interpretation, and to me, it's not a far-fetched conclusion to draw.
However, I do completely agree with those who say the twist was totally unnecessary. The movie was great without it, and could easily stand alone as a well executed and memorable human atrocity / slasher movie. All I'm saying is that I'm okay with the twist and it didn't ruin it for me.

If the director changed the cinematography/coloring in someway to let us know what we are seeing is different then I think the movie would be close to perfect. There are both misleading things in the movie and things that tell us who the real killer is. But on first viewing there is no way to pick out the twist. Unless you've seen this sort of movie before. But this is the only
lesbian twisted obsession movie I've ever seen.[/SPOILER] I think the Switchblade Romance title is far more telling of what the movie is about.
