Which other recent movie...(BIG SPOILERS)


Also did that same trick with going back and forth between characters...making you assume it was all happening at the same time...then revealing at the end that you were seeing two different timelines?

oh well in it they introduce the story as a freshman girl at an all girl's boarding school having a nightmare about her parents dying, and then she and an older student get stuck at the school over break. then they introduce a girl at a bus stop, who gets picked up by someone's parents and they are heading for the school. they switch back and forth, until you figure out that the parents are visiting the deathsite of the older student which is the school. (although come to think of this it makes no sense, they would just visit her grave wherever it was)
but it turns out the girl at the bus stop is the freshman 9 years later, and she broke out of a mental institution, because she killed the older girl and 2 other teacher/nun type people who were at the school during break, and brings their severed heads to the furnace room to pray.
but i don't think you look that different after 9 years, and she did nothing to change her appearance, so the movie doesn't really work, but i liked it.

the movie even has titlecards for each of the 3 characters, as if you're seeing their view of the same timeline, like other movies have done. but this is just a trick.

The first episode of the hit TV series "This Is Us" did that. Also "Silence of the Lambs" played with us when they approach the suspect's house and it's the wrong one, but Clarice is at the right one.

Hell, Saw 2 did that.
