Seeing that many people say that they have guessed the ending, that is, the father is a split personality, he killed the mother, killed Elizabeth, and the cat, and even killed the police and female colleagues. But I think this can only be regarded as part of the ending.
The real highlight of this film is the split personality of the little girl. If you guess this, you can be regarded as guessing the scam carefully set by the director and screenwriter.
Don’t you think that the hints about the father’s split personality came early? Just when everyone complained about the old-fashioned plot, and logically thought that the split-personal father had committed all the crimes, the painting at the end brought a reversal.
The little girl in the painting, Emily, has two heads on her shoulders, and her two faces are exactly the same. This is actually implying that Emily also has a dual personality.
In this way, why Emily, who was reticent in the first half of the film and behaved strangely, became a little hysterical in the second half, and kept clamoring not to see "Charlie" again. Such behavior can be explained.
And the film is therefore more unique. Because in previous movies on the theme of split personality, there is often only one character with dual or multiple personality, but this movie cleverly creates two protagonists with split personality through the game of hide-and-seek.
Think about it carefully. Since it's hide and seek, if you want to play well, you must ask two people to play together in cooperation with each other. In the film, Emily has this line: "He asked me to help him (Charlie), he forced me". This is what the little girl said under a normal personality, and she naturally has to defend what she has done. In fact, when she was in a distorted personality, she should be willing to help "Charlie" kill Elizabeth.
In addition, I heard that there are 5 versions of the ending of the film, and I deliberately checked it. The result is not surprising. Most of the endings imply that Emily also has a dual personality.
