Its end (Don't read if u havent seen it)

Well yeah, he killed the real intern, and took hes spot instead. Clark/Ben killed those people, for revenge of hes bad thretment while hes was a patient there, and becouse Franks, or what his name was, ran over him and didntt care.

And.. the wery end, where Clark/Ben enters the other institute, well my gues is that when he wraped up in the first place and got his revenge he maybe thought why not go on and check out the other institutes too.
In case there might be more "madhouses", and make "changes for the better" there too.

Sorry about my english, its a bit sh**ty...
Think you can still understand my point.

yeah, i agree, the ending isn't too good, it doesn't make much sense with the storyline, but if you rent the dvd, the original ending makes much more sense with wat this movie was trying to say

okay see the thing about the movie is that when he finds out it's him who's killing he makes it think "double personality", but then why would he go onto the next asylum???...i think he connected a lot with Carl (the guy who hung himself) cause he didn't think he belonged there, so thats why he escaped when he was a kid... still it makes no sense that he would be going to the other asylum, my take on that is that he wanted to help the others as he couldn't be helped...and yes i do think Ben killed the real Clark...

but if he came back and was a former patient, then wouldn't he have been recognized?? that's what i didn't get. it threw me off.


"your color doesn't determine your character, but your character shows your true colors..."

i can't believe there are so many posts debating the ending of this huge pile of *beep*

I think he really has good intentions but his Ben side goes over the top. What I mean is, cunningham was run very poorly, and the patients were treated, clearly, very badly. Unfortuantely Bens past and need for revenge takes over, forcing him to kill the people responsible.

He went to the other institute to try and improve the situations, make things better for the patients.

He's just a good guy who was treated very badly.

he was schizophrenic......so he actually believed he was the clark guy and had no memories of commiting the murders until the end.

*I'm not mean, I'm just hardcore*

I think it was simply a road to a sequel and maybe there was some footage on the cutting room floor that might have explained it better.

There are other way more questionable parts like why were there ghosts and why did everyone else see that boy and why did Franks keep them there (other than the $$ point that was mentioned as it would seem that there were other reasons) and why was HE always reading the supernatural books - I think they forgot about that whole "psychotics see ghosts" thing in the book. An for god's sake, why didn't she get that bra off!

In general it was a decent movie and being a b-horror movie maniac myself, I feel it was better than 98% of the trash out there. Maybe a sequel would clear things up - although, knowing how studios work, they'd probably ignor whatever shread of story there was and spend the extra money on bad special effects and better lighting to mike it look a hell of a lot less scarey - the Hellraiser syndrom.

Schizophrenia:

Any of a group of psychotic disorders usually characterized by withdrawal from reality, illogical patterns of thinking, delusions, and hallucinations, and accompanied in varying degrees by other emotional, behavioral, or intellectual disturbances.

Multiple Personality Disorder is not the same as Schizophrenia, though mulitple personalities may result FROM schizophrenia.
