[ She is a killer, but due to her twisted personality she is constantly having this fantasy of herself being a heroine. But that is all fantasy, the good heroine does not exist, there’s only the psycho.

But how do you know for sure? Is that even explained in the movie (been a while since I’ve seen it)?
The two things that make no sense to me is that the girls drove there in a car, but the main character as the killer is driving a van. And in addition we saw the killer very early off jerking himself off with a decapitated head (loved it, thought it was the most disturbing part in the movie), is the movie supposed to be saying that that never happened and it was all in the girls head? It doesn’t add up to me.
But again I will say I loved the movie for the most part, I would buy it, I was very much against the Hills Have Eyes remake until I found out he was helming it. Kickass movie by the way.
The first scene is real. But the girl steals this car (and maybe even kills this guy). And then her imagination starts. That’S why she believes that she is followed by the killer but in reality she is driving the van. She wants to be the heroine but she’s the monster…

I don’t know for sure. Why should we know for sure? Why should everything be explained?

That’s a good theory. Let me add something of my own: She goes out, the bad guy comes (with his van), attacks her, she kills the man in self defence, gets a trauma and goes crazy.
Shots / cuts in chronological order:
Just a theory.
I dont know about anyone else but I really didnt like the schizophrenic aspect of the film at all. I was much happier when I thought it was a straight ahead slasher film. When you finally see her in that surveillance video its like: OH SHIT YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING ME! THIS SUCKS!! lol.

Well, I’m usually good at figuring out/analyzing twists and none of what you said was obvious in any way when I watched the film. I saw the movie twice, and never even thought about the heroine/psycho aspect and the cars at the end not being real. I’m not saying that it couldn’t have happened (it’s a plausible theory); my main problem is that the director didn’t even try to explain it at the end and either thought the audience would be too smart to have to have it explained, or just too dumb so there’d be no point to explain anyway.
You could basically go ahead and apply any type of logic to a film where you don’t know what really happened, but the film has to uphold to a certain type of logic in the first place for everything to make sense. And I didn’t see any real evidence that any of that actually happened (I’m not doubting you like I said; I just thought an explanation would have helped the movie and give it the depth that you saw that I didn’t while watching it both times).
I saw this movie 2 weeks ago,loved it, I didnt even expect the ending.
