The end of the movie? Help!?!


SPOILERS! SPOILERS BEWARE!


Ok everything is like screwed up. It's the end and the got is dreaming or something and he sees his friends and then they show him getting shocked or whatever. He dies and then the 2 people from the "Honeymoon" segment are there. What the heck happened or did I miss something. Thanks for the help. Oh, please explain to me what happened.

He's shocked becuz he realizes that him and his friends were actually dead from the car accident the whole time of the movie.

It is the oldest, most predictable ending in the entire horror/thriller genre... "Oh, they were dead the whole time???? How original!!!" This theme seems to creep up every few decades, but never with any originality....

reply

I actually liked it!! Same as the movie Reeker...Although I don't like movies that end like this I thought they did it pretty well. Just MY opinion..please don't rip my head off lol

While I agree that the ending was not original and has been done before in different ways, I thought they did a good job with this twist. The clues that point to this ending are in the opener after the "The Hook" segment and before the Honeymoon segment. But I got so into the stories that they were telling that I forgot the hints about him swerving, the other car on the road, and the lights that he kept seeing. Although this has been done in other movies/stories, I think that doing it in an anthology as part of the framing story was a good idea that was executed well.

What I don't get is: He apparently was the only one who lived through the crash. But, at the end when he realized that they were dead, they appeared to him and he had crashed but came back for a second and shed a tear, but then Marcia Brady put her hands on his chest...was that her revenge and what killed him? I like to think that Marcia killed him because they were angry at him. But, it seems to me like some of the others here think he just died. What do you think WalletGuy?

People seemed to LOVE it when The Sixth Sense did it.

If you say so kid.

and to answer the second part of your question, they see the honeymoon people because, while he was creating the alternate scenario in his mind, he took subliminal images of his real surroundings and incorporated them into the story his mind was creating as his final moments. kind of like the movie Stay.

(spoilers below, and in this whole thread lol)

One theory is that the first story was inspired by him being in an unconscious state and dreaming about the two people because he may have seen them while being near. It doesn't seem likely, just a possibility.

reply

yeah i came to that conclusion as well. all the stories are just imagined lives of the people he is seeing right before he dies.

My interpretation is that the accident left Cliff seriously injured and semi-conscious while the three others were killed immediately. In his delirious state Cliff imagined that he and his friends got out from the crashed car and built a campfire to fight the cold. Cliff conjured up those stories told by him and Alex, based on the people he saw around him. As examples, the man and woman from the other car involved in the accident were the couple in “The Honeymoon”, and two of the paramedics were the main character from “The Locket” and the mother from “People Can Lick Too”. At the end, Cliff realized that he was dying, but the scene in which he saw his dead friends was imagined too – there was nothing that was supernatural in “The Campfire”. At the end, the scene where the dead Lauren touched Cliff with both hands was simply the paramedics pressing his chest in a last effort to revive him.

While I know this ending has been used several times, like someone else mentioned in The Sixth Sense.
However, I have to admit..this was a movie that I honestly was NOT expecting it out of. For a change, the first time I saw this..I honestly didn't think that was the ending that would come out of it.


I guess I'll cut my losses, and turn my tricks at the magic show..

I had a feeling as soon as the car crashed and when he seen the light I knew something was up.

I diddnt see the ending of this neither the sixth sense coming but it´s not the twist that makes these movies great. It´s the fact that it always is a bad ending. Movies with a happy end are never as good as movies with a bad end. Especially in the horror movie genre.
