The Twin

Rachel’s experiences at the end reveal that her entire story has been a product of her disturbed mind. After fleeing the villagers and the supposed demonic cult, she searches a granary for Elliot, only to discover that he does not exist outside her hallucinations. When she finds Anthony injured among the grains, she realizes there is nothing real about her son’s supposed possession or the villagers’ ritual. Returning home, Rachel visits Nathan and Anthony’s graves, seeming to accept their deaths, but the final scene suggests she is still lost in her illusions. She imagines a happy family scene with her husband and their children in the car, implying that her grief has overwhelmed her mind entirely, and the ‘Elliot’ she believed was possessed or supernatural was never real. The ending underscores Rachel’s psychological breakdown; her grief and trauma have distorted her perception of reality, making her unable to distinguish between what is real and what her mind has conjured. As she drives away, it’s clear that her mental state remains fractured, leaving her trapped in her own haunted memories and illusions.
