I saw this movie yesterday and was satisfied with the twist .But one thing which is still confusing me is what's director trying to show by the scene in which old bad guy is shown masturbating with the deactivated head.If that bad old guy is all in the psycho killer's mind then what is the meaning of showing that scene.plz someone explain it.
thanks
I need an explanation to this as well.
"Sometimes, a girl needs a half." Sex and The City
"Deactivated" head? "Decaptivated"????
I need an explanation as to the language used in this post.
http://us.imdb.com/name/nm2339870/
decaptivate /dɪˈkæptɪveɪt/ (verb)
(third-person singular simple present decaptivates, present participle decaptivating, simple past and past participle decaptivated)
1. The act of performing decapitation, whereby the victim is released from captivity
2. To make someone/something lose interest, or attention
Lol. Idk where you found that definition, but "decaptivate" is not a word at all. You just made that up, didn't you?

Holy *beep* was the best thing I read in a while. Thanks....needed that laugh.....decaffeinated.....lmfao
shareEww.... That was just wrong! >:(
That scene of course never actually happened because the male killer is a figment of Marie's imagination. Since the entire film is Marie's alibi of that night, she made up the male killer because a) she's insane and believed she could pin the murders on an imaginary person and b) she wanted to appear as the heroine who saved Alex from the "bad man." Since this decapitated head fellatio scene occurs before the murders, it was basically just included by the director as shock value for the film. It was not necessarily a bad thing or a way of cheating the audience because it really established that this "man" was beyond horrific and repulsive. Because that scene is in the film, the audience is scared out of their wits as the man is pulling up to the house at night because they know what he is capable of doing to this innocent family. If that scene was not in the film, the suspense of the man arriving would not be as great.

It was just a BULL$HIT reason for the filmmakers to throw in something gross. It doesn't make any sense and doesn't have anything to do with the rest of the movie. The ending ruined a good horror film and was just plain stupid.
shareTed Bundy done that with one of his victims.He killed her but for some reason not given,decided to keep the head.He threw the head out of his car later.How long he kept the head or what he did with it is anybodys guess.
Just another plot hole in a crappy movie. For some reason it seems like the twist at the end was an after thought totally invalidating the whole movie up until the twist. Oh and I love how these people claim to totally get it. They are just making it up to try and seem smarter than the people who see this movie for what it is. The movie failed miserably.
shareIts been a while since I saw this movie, but it seemed pretty cut and dry to me. Marie was crazy. She was suffering from something similar to Dissociative identity disorder. On one hand she was just a normal girl. Alexia was her friend and Marie genuinely wanted to help her escape the killer. Her alternate personality, on the other hand, was a deranged killer and also male. The necrophilia scene probably did happen, but it happened while she was the killer personality not herself.
After I finished the movie I assumed that Marie had actually killed and decapitated that girl while she was the killer, but I guess its also possible that that part was purely in her imagination, although I doubt it. I believe she was killing people prior to her attack on Alexias family. The entire movie took place from Maries point of view. She was completely crazy. Part of her was an insane killer. She imagined this daring rescue of the girl she loved when all along it was really her who was doing the killing and torturing the whole time.
It has been eight years since I've seen the movie, but that's about what I remember of it. I suppose I could be mistaken, though. Also, I'm not saying that there weren't some plot holes or that the medical condition was portrayed realistically, I'm only posting what I took from the movie when I saw it in theaters.
"I have spread my dreams under your feet. Tread softly because you tread on my dreams."
There's nothing to "get"; the film is a lie and a story told by a crazy liar.
Also a film can't really have plot holes if the film tells you from moment 1 that you're watching a crazy person's testimony/story; everything can be explained by the fact that you're hearing lies...

I like your explanation. I was wondering about it too. I think the scene could be a part of Marie's dreaming while she sleeps in the car. It mixes sex and death, just like the insanity she's carrying on.
sharei think this was the play of director of this movie. old bad man was that psyco killer's imagination. she has created a old killer man in her mind and she keep alive him in her mind. and that mastubating using decaptivated head was her fancy.
shareI saw this movie 3-5 years ago (not again since) and I always remember this scene for all the wrong reasons. It was... well, I don't think 'weird' is a strong enough word, but it was weird.

The scene is used to show the underlying sexual rage in Marie. remember it's shown after the conversation in the car between marie and alex where alex pledges her love to the man she blew marie off for. in the context of marie being in love with alex, the nature of the conversation and the fact that what is being shown on the screen is a re-telling of events from marie's warped perspective, the scene jives.
shareJust as a side note, the whole masturbating with a decapitated head thing, don't knock it until you've tried it.
"My girlfriend sucked 37 d*cks!"
"In a row?"
I first I thought the scene to be superfluous, but you're right; that's how Marie interprets her relationship with Alex from her killer/visceral POV. Good catch. Good gore and some decent moments, however, this movie is quickly forgettable,

Hi All,
I have just seen the movie. I thing the depiction of that scene by director is to provide us a glitch / frame of the dangerous fantasy or love of Marie on Alex - remember the next scene which followed has Marie admiring (lust on) Alex while she was napping next to her in the car (and also this scene happens after their previous conversation which is about lust and sex). It can be understood only after the twisted climax revealed that Marie is the dangerous bad guy who comes when she badly need her or lust her. On scene when he originally arrives home also while Marie masturbates........so do the math...I hope this clarifies you.
