Hello. I watched the movie last night (mainly because I like Natalie Dormer) and enjoyed it though it was pretty confusing nd the ending kinda sucked. Your theory actually made me enjoy it a lot more afterward as it cleared a lot of the confusion. If only the director/writers would've made these things more clearbut then I guess we would've had a very good movie instead of just an ok one. Thanks for your effort though one thing is still making me scratch my head.
If a lot of what happened to the Sara personality in the forest was in Jess's head, how do you interpret the cabin scene towards the end ? Did she, Jess as Sara, kill Aiden, then left for her campsite/tent and when the basement episode was over in her head, she just awoke as Jess? Really confusing, that bit. -

Maybe Aidan wasn't real?
Aidan might have been a part of Sara/Jess imagination. Which would explain how Sara/Jess could kill him so easily without him putting up much of a struggle,and why she didn't have much blood on her after stabbing him.

Nice thought but after a month, i can't remember if there were any scenes with the guide talking with Aiden (especially when Sara wasn't around)
"Worst/Best movie EVER!"

The guide says his name at a couple of points as well. Decent theory. I was thinking something along those lines. The dinner scene at the beginning was kind of surreal and dream like to me. This would have been a much better movie if they could decide between thriller or horror but instead they kind of mashed it together.

As I said before Aiden is tough to explain. He is seen/known by the guide, so he existed. What was not real was his shady behavior. Well, he could have been a serial killer/rapist but I doubt it. If Aiden is real, then that kind of means Jess killed him in that cabin. If he is a figment, then the guide isn't real and that is hard to explain too.

I just watched the movie and kind of thought that the Jess / Sara could be the same person, but multiple personalities. OP your theory helps cement that. Thanks! Then again this movie was rather mediocre, so I am not sure if the split personalities was where the producers were trying to go with this film but it is the best theory so far.

If you have to say something like an entire characters storyline was a false reality in order to make your theory work, it's probably not a good theory.
Some clever ideas, for sure, but I think you're overthinking this movie. -

Sorry, but your theory is invalid. Clearly they are two different people with two entire different lives. I have no idea how you can believe this is a case of split personality disorder, your arguments are invalid and idiotic. Best of luck to you in your travels

You could have saved yourself a lot of time and overthinking if you just payed attention to the end of the movie. Jess comes out and Saras husband asks "Have you seen Sara?" and Jess says "She's not with you?" and he looks toward the forest. Then Jess says "She came for me." Then he says "She knew you were still alive." Then he says "We go back in first thing."
So if it was just one person, that whole exchange (among others in the movie) would make no sense. -

1)A lot of twins choose different hair colors, styles, etc. especially in adulthood. Nothing "obvious" about that being a clue to a split personality.
2) and 3) are pure speculation, not evidence.
4)Hallucinations do not have to be logical. In fact, they usually aren't.
5)Sara has explained before that she and her sister have a sort of psychic connection that lets her know things about Jess that cannot be explained any other way. She had a strong feeling that her sister was in that direction, and it was correct. (you may not believe in the twin psychic connection thing, but plenty of people do. I suggest that you suspend your disbelief in this case, it's central to the plot).
6) and 7) also pure speculation.
I like your interpretation of the poem. There could be others, however.
9)Speculation.
10) Rob (the psychiatrist husband) would have known that his wife had just travelled to Japan and would have commented on it when she brought up her plan to go back to Japan and find her missing sister. In fact, if she had mental health issues and made up this split personality of a twin sister, he would have picked up on it by then. At the very least, he would have objected to this weird second trip and found a way to prevent her from going because it would have just been crazy from his pov.
You also have to remember that it was dark when Jess was coming out of the forest, and her hair color wouldn't have been obvious when she was running toward him. After all, he was fully expecting to see Sara, not Jess, so it would have been an easy mistake to make on the spur of the moment.
And remember, Rob was looking for his wife whom he explicitly named as Sara. He told the search party and presumably the authorities, that his wife, Sara, was in Japan and missing. If Sara was just a split personality of his wife's, he would have named Jess as his wife, wouldn't he?
And in the end, he specifically asks Jess if she had seen Sara. When he realized she hadn't, he said they would be back the next morning to search the forest for Sara.
The guide and Rob both interacted with Sara and referred to her by name. So unless you are suggesting that the guide and Rob both weren't real, your split personality theory can't be valid.
"I'm sorry, but.." is a self-contained lie.

No and NO. Its really not hard to understand, it isn't that deep, there were 2 sisters. The trauma of the parents death is the big key to everything and its zero, nada to do with a split personality.and as far as the hair color, twins in real life do this all the time, its called hair dye.

Really shouldn't have bothered reading the OP;
practically every point does not make sense if you pay attention to the movie.
Within the first few minutes of the movie we see Sara arrive in Japan; this completely invalidates the rest of the theory.
Do millennials pay so little attention to movies these days or are you just so desperate for every movie you see to be Fight Club?
