Also, the way the killer was sort of "flirting" with the gas station worker, I found rather odd. But hey...whatever, I still love the film.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04812270993251837410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706937351903658758.post-6129624964856289032017-01-31T00:42:20.958-05:002017-01-31T00:42:20.958-05:00Quint is the guy from the film JawsQuint is the guy from the film JawsRachel vaughanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17369178837090423066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706937351903658758.post-70140504643307439692017-01-31T00:40:20.825-05:002017-01-31T00:40:20.825-05:00Don't be a dick.

Just watched this movie, that twist blew my mind!! I did not expect that to happen, psychosis of her on a rampage but people were killed which marie believed the killer caused but was actually a physical manifestation of her lust and obsession with her friend.

She either thinks she is getting away with this poor excuse or so mentally ill that she believes it in some way, but regardless, the entire serial killer and all his evil doings were just build up to explain why this random guy would show up to this remote farm and start murdering people. It is all a cover story for herself.<br /><br />The pivotal moment in the movie is when the police watch the security tape of the gas station clerk murder (I believe, I haven't seen the movie in years, but it's one of my favorite movies ever). This is where the real actual events are mixed in with the fake/delusional story of the main character. This is where it confuses people a lot, but that one key part from the beginning ties it all together. This is why Alexia is watching her behind a two way mirror at the end, the Doctors are showing her a little glimpse as to why Marie did everything she did, even if she doesn't believe her own story, she is not well and is very dangerous. <br /><br />I think it's a great movie and Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706937351903658758.post-14687918847875933482014-12-27T02:49:05.738-05:002014-12-27T02:49:05.738-05:00idiots!!! that movie made no sense and the twist w...idiots!!! that movie made no sense and the twist was forcedAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706937351903658758.post-40527329679129546392013-03-23T03:03:02.756-04:002013-03-23T03:03:02.756-04:00LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this movie. You have to think it ...LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this movie. You have to think it is all in her mind. what she is seeing. I think some people don't get that sometimes. There was no chase of course. She actually thought she was protecting her from the man she was seeing which I think actually is a split personality.She was doing the things the man was doing to people. People don't actually know their there all the time. Another personality from what I hear.

It's been a few years since I"ve seen it so I can't quite remember the details, but I watched it early enough to NOT have the ending spoiled, but the very first scene (I think Marie is tied up in an asylum?) told me "this is the killer and she is crazy." I'm not always that sharp at picking up twists, but I got that one and then watched the movie thinking "but how can this be happening if the killer is Marie?" I should give it another shot.deadlydollshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06061028044836745499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706937351903658758.post-90141711045472303792012-08-26T18:32:50.003-04:002012-08-26T18:32:50.003-04:00It was a good movie overall but what about that pa...It was a good movie overall but what about that part where this 90 lb girl decapitates a guy with a dresser? that literally happened right? could a large man actually rip off a head in that fashion?I thought oh ok she's gonna break his neckwith the dresser but then his head came off at the jaw! commodore sixty fourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00252781846243511386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706937351903658758.post-65032324509191323912012-08-24T17:07:45.711-04:002012-08-24T17:07:45.711-04:00I love the Quint thing.

In reality there is no sport's car (Not even sure it's there when she enters the gas station). It's why the car is so ridiculously flash too, because it's her imagination.The Fright Writerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02697289369579902303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706937351903658758.post-72631203078568860112012-08-23T16:30:12.462-04:002012-08-23T16:30:12.462-04:00I have to be honest, the first time I watched the ...I have to be honest, the first time I watched the movie I was one of those people that hated it. However, I had a revelation similar to your's while watching it a second time and have become an avid supporter. And of course Quint didn't die, he feighned sleep to trick the shark into swallowing him whole. You thought the explosion was caused by the air tank? No, it was Quint.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07364164923811747218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706937351903658758.post-64968335459360944142012-08-21T07:45:50.220-04:002012-08-21T07:45:50.220-04:00Wiser words have never been spoken!

People need to lighten the heck up on this one. It's not bad enough for all the ending hate and not good enough to challenge Martyrs or Inside.
