FAIL - 2 characters killed return in end scene

The old ward vet killed the kid dressed as Hitler and the tall kid in the woods.

Then in the end of the movie they are alive and well before the police arrive.

FAIL. 0/10.

From Trivia:

• The "guards" in the woods are actually 3 other outcasts from school (seen on the school stairs and in the cafeteria). They are not the same outcasts as the ones in the party house, even though they are wearing the same costumes. This was meant to confuse the police when it was all over. Due to time constraints, this subplot was cut from the film, and is only subtly explained.

From Message boards:

"The triplets will be on ATVs in the woods wearing the same costumes as us. Nobody escapes"
- Dane says at the cafeteria while making their plan. Then there is a shot of the 3 of them sitting together.

Haha yea I guess people are either fast forwarding or it's just too quick and it gets lost. It's listed in "Trivia", too.

Even with the cuts you could see that there were was another group in on the plan. Look at their reactions to the bullies that was being mean to the "outcasts".

What makes these "3 other guys" not movie cliches are their looks. They're "fairly good-looking" boys, who on first glance seemed like they could care less about the 'outcast' being bullied. But its made cleared they disliked the bullies as well.

Don't see how anyone could have missed it.

And he wasn't dressed as Hitler.
That was a gestapo uniform.

Whilst they're at school, Dane says to one of the other outcasts "the triplets will be in the forest and will be wearing the same costumes as us" (or something to that effect). Pay attention dammit!

It seemed to me like the whole triplet angle was added in post-production reshoots, it doesn't make any sense otherwise. The line explaining the triplets role was done in voice over and was clearly ADRed, I don't think it was a part of the original film but the producers probably got more money and added stuff after the original shoot.

It's actually the opposite. A lot was cut out post production making what was left in feel out of place. the director explained it in an interview. There was about another 5 minutes of subplot surrounding the triplets that went more into why they were bullied and explained that they were wearing the same costumes to throw off police or anyone else that came across what was happening. He also said talked about how this movie pays homage to a lot of horror movies and wanted to showcase how in some slasher movies the killer can be one place and then all of a sudden seem to appear somewhere else.

Do you have a link? I would like to read that interview.
