Ending questions *SPOILERS*


I have a few questions about the ending, which may or may not have been shown in the film/ have a simple answer. I thought the film started strong, but i lost interest about an hour in and minimized the window while i surfed the web.

Was it the young(newly passed)cop that killed the girl by hitting her with his car, and choosing to not help her?

Or was it Kang (the artist), who went back on her word and uses the child's drawings for her own greed? We also see a scene in a burning workshop where there is a fight between the two characters and the girl gets strangled. Kang then lies to a neighbor and says she hadn't seen the girl that day. If she was in fact killed by Kang over the drawings, then the scene showing the cops involvement when he hits her with the car, doesn't make sense?

Was the girl influencing the artist as a vengeful spirit, or had the artist gone crazy over her guilt of the girls murder, and committed the murders in a dis associative state? (I assume through their bonding, the girl had at some point told Kang about everyone that had wronged her in the past etc) IIRC there's a scene early on where a therapist explains about a syndrome where dreams seemingly become reality, but this could've just been a red herring, more than foreshadowing.

Related to the last point, the opening murder we see of the publisher, seems a little unprovoked considering she had not wronged the girl, unlike everyone else. She had no knowledge of the girl, she just unknowingly published her drawings through the artists copies.

The very last shot that the film ends on, was this a simple cheesy horror ending, hinting at an unresolved storyline? or was it some kind of final twist that i simply didn't get due to my lack of focus.

I'm surprised to see next to no discussion of this film.

Kang had a friend when she was younger, she could hear the dead and began drawing pictures of what happened. Kang saw this as a way to become a popular artist so she copied her work. Her friend found out and burned all the drawings, saying they were not hers but the dead. Kang went crazy and killed her then stole the remaining copies.

The whole movie is filled with only bad people, the publisher let her mom die, the coroner embaulm his wife while she is still alive, the cop partner hit a young girl but did nothing so he could have a future.

I think Kang went a bit crazy after killing her friend and she made a new personality to cope, that persona went on sending those emails to Kang from that abandonned warehouse.
