I mean really, am I the only person on earth who saw that coming? THE FOG remake. It's been a while, but I don't recall it making a whole lot of sense. THE VILLAGE, if only because I guessed it. Seriously, I joked about it, and BOOM, my joke became reality. Wow.

Dream House: Having it in the trailer is the main thing that ruined it. It probably wouldn't be so bad if someone watched it for the first time now.

It's awesome and fits perfectly with the film's style-over-substance(unless that substance is fake blood) atmosphere... And Cecile de France plays up the fuck out of the role of Marie in it. I think the twist makes the movie the awesome cult classic that it is. I think it's a great film even without it, but without it, it really is just a high-quality style survival flick. Nothing more. The twist makes it memorable.

Spoiler: click to toggle A woman of that body type, regardless of the quantity of drugs consumed beforehand, would be physically incapable of manipulating the furniture in a way as the killer does the living room massacre. Spoiler: click to toggle How would the killer have been able to watch them on the side of the road at the beginning driving up to the house when it was her all along? How would she have known that anyway considering she's in the car with her friends? Spoiler: click to toggle How would she have been able to hide in the back-seat of the van driving away from the massacre? With the killer driving the vehicle? Spoiler: click to toggle Why was she a part of the killer's attacks at the end anyway? It's not the concept of the twist that gets me. I actually like it. It's what doing that in that form does to the rest of the movie along the way.

None of that happened. The chasing never happened. The truck blowjob never happened. None of it ever happened. She's fucking insane, and we're hearing the tsory from her perspective. She's someone with a split personality, and this is how SHE believes the story truly happened.

She wouldn't have been around for the truck blowjob, why would she imagine something like that in the first place? If she's hot for her friend, why is she so concerned with putting that sequence there when it means nothing in the course of the events? Why would she be imagining herself hiding in the backseat of a truck leaving the scene of the murders if she's the one that was actually driving it? Calling her crazy explains the rationale for her obsession, I get that, but the way this one undergoes it's twist undoes the whole rest of the movie and makes it redundant.
