He Sees You When You're Sleeping

In the end, it is revealed that the presumed killer, Henry Bates, was not behind the murders in the house. Instead, the real mastermind is Marion, Chester’s aunt, who orchestrated everything out of revenge for her past love triangle with her brother Nick and Chester’s parents. Nick, her brother, was actually the one responsible for Chester’s parents’ deaths and had been living in the basement all along, hiding in the shadows as the true killer. The movie culminates in Nick strangling Marion to death and subsequently being decapitated by Chester in a final act of justice. Chester survives the chaos, having faced his demons and uncovered the twisted family secrets. The film ends with Chester finally asking Eden out, offering him a glimmer of hope and a chance to move past the horrors they’ve experienced, with no further plans for sequels or unresolved mysteries. The ending underscores that the real horror was rooted in family betrayal and long-buried secrets rather than the serial killer they initially feared. Chester’s journey is about confronting the darkness within his own family and finding a way to heal.
