Well these comment subjects spoiled the movie for me.


Thanks a lot but whatever. I knew something was up because I came here to see who the guy was that played Warren and couldn't find the character listed. Originally I wanted to come here because I wanted to see if anybody else was commenting on how creepy that guy was. He had this really stupid feminine face and it just made me want to punch him so hard. Just look at his mouth, he never closes it or moved his jaw when he talks. Part of me is relieved he isn't a real guy.

Dude kept his mouth open the whole time.
Didn't make sense.

SPOILER!!!

When shown as a child, Warren had protruding, buck teeth. Obviously, in his transformation to Emily, his teeth were fixed. However, when he goes back into Warren mode, he uses some sort of ill-fitting dental appliance to approximate the childhood teeth. I'm thinking this appliance was purposely exaggerated for effect and why his mouth always appeared open!

If I remember correctly, when Emily reveals to Miriam she is Warren, she removes the wig and the dental appliance.

Warren wasn't a mouth breather, but he may as well been. He was using a prosthetic to show his buck teeth.

[spoiler]The main point was to not be recognized as Emily when she "disappears" and s/he inherits the cool $10 million.

It wasn't a good plan, even for a sloppy B movie to capitalize on the success of Psycho. Emily left her fingerprints everywhere[/spoiler].

Maaaaaan. When "Warren" first came onscreen, I wanted to punch him. Lol something about his face bothered me and his voice/acting (I didn't realize it was dubbed yet) then once the truth was revealed I was like "Oh thank goodness" lol

Yeah, I'm watching it now, and even on IMDb's movie information page, they give it away with a photo of Warren and who plays him, plus their Crazy Credits gives it away, without your clicking on any further information.

I guess we have to avoid everything until the movie is over.

But, there was instantly something VERY off with Warren. His dubbed voice was quite strange. They should have found an actress who could pull off a male voice.
