Was this all in George's head?


Was this all in George's head? Was he a patient & not really a cook?

reply

I don't think so. From what I gather, he was the cook and it all really happened (except for the stuff with Green), but his mind just cracked under the stress, which is why he saw Green wasn't there and why he was in a hospital at the end.

reply

yes. Every story is in someones head.

I thought the last scene was in his head, but not the whole incident. Admittedly I'm very confused but really liked it. The fear of the possibility of sorts.

If anyone can better explain the second portion of the film that would be great.

reply

Yeah from what I understood the ending was your typical "I'm not really working with mentally sick people, I am one of the mentally sick people"-twists that we've seen a thousand times before and is really a cheap way to end a movie

It's been a long time. I shouldn't have left you, without a dope post to step to

i'm pretty sure everything until the last point was true (given my lighting was bad since i watched this during the day- heh),
everything in the movie happens to him, until when he wakes up in the MH with his girlfriend on the bedside and has this unpleasant vision of himself back in the kitchen with his friends- at which point he's turned crazy from the PTSD of everything he experienced in the MH.

-must have been a pretty bad storm for the police to take such a long time to get there,
felt sorry for the girl since she wasn't just killed, rather than having to live through everything the inmates must have done to her -w-'
