Dear Stupid Motherfucking Movies Where the Twist is That Our Hero is Really the Killer,
Knock it the fuck off. You can’t do it. You are, in fact, stellarly terrible at it. The only film I have ever seen where this worked EVER was Fight Club and that was because Tyler Durden was actually split in to two people doing seperate goddamn things.
Seriously. What goes through your head?
“So, this chick has a seriously repressed lesbian side and she SNAPS and imagines a huge fucking disgusting guy killing the family of the girl she dreams about and then kidnapping the girl but she fights the guy and it’s symbolic of her struggle with her sexuality!” (High Tension)
“This chick learns that her mom killed a nun but she represses the memory and then through her subconcious kills everyone involved and then shoots herself with a spear in an amazing bit of impossible physics!” (The Nun)
The killer is actually the chick who died in the beginning, and using an ingenious system of levers and pullies, she orchestrated the deaths of everyone she knew! BRILLIANT! (Coming soon to a theater near you)
Stop it. Stop it stop it stop it. You can make a psycho movie, or you can make a supernatural movie, but you can not make a supernatural psycho movie where the psycho can bend time and space and be everywhere at onc– actually, that’s not a bad idea.
