* TheWoobie: Aubrey, ''big time''. She's just an average high school girl who gets kidnapped and savagely tortured. [[spoiler:She likely would've suffocated from being buried alive if Dakota hadn't found her in time, and her torturer/attempted murderer turns out to be her own piano teacher. Her ordeal, as well as finding out that her life was built on a lie and that the man she grew up believing was her father is dead]], will likely leave her with a ''lot'' of trauma to deal with.
** Her mother Susan also counts. In addition to being one of the few sympathetic characters of the main cast, [[spoiler:we learn that her ''actual'' daughter died in childbirth, with her husband covering it up by buying Aubrey from her birth mother and passing her off as Susan's child. Finding all this out on top of learning that Daniel died trying to save Aubrey is surely not going to be easy for the poor woman to handle]].

* CriticalBacklash: Despite sweeping Razzies the following year after the film, the film received some reevaluations along with special screenings during the late 2010s/early 2020s, and developed somewhat a cult following. Some critics appreciate its giallo-inspired surrealism, and intriguing premise that reflects Lindsay Lohan's real-life plight. People blamed the movie's failure on the backlash from tabloids around the actress's fallout at that time.

* FridgeLogic: Meta-example: Why have a picture of Ali Lohan when there's enough pictures of Lindsay at about the same age?
** Neither Dakota nor anyone tries to compare scars, moles, etc. that Aubrey had with Dakota, which would have alerted everyone to the twin concept pretty quick.
* FridgeBrilliance: Why doesn't Dakota tell the cops to call the strip club where she works to confirm her identity? Since she is Aubrey's twin, that means she is underage, therefore the club owner would most likely go along with the "That woman's crazy" theory if the police interrogated her.
** Better yet, the police could have checked to see if a woman named Virginia Sue Moss died around the time Dakota said she did, or could have checked out Dakota's apartment. But that would be too easy.
** How about: 1. Nobody in the hospital told Susan her baby had died. 2. Nobody in the hospital noticed that the family whose baby died left the hospital with a baby. 3. Nobody in the hospital noticed that Virginia Sue Moss was missing a twin.
* NightmareFuel / NauseaFuel: The torture scenes are pretty horrifying, but the dry ice scene is definitely the most frightening and nauseating.

Are you \'\'\'seriously\'\'\' passing off an All Just A Dream plot twist as \"brilliance\"?


* FridgeBrilliance: Foolishly averted. Deleted materials were to show that the entire plot was merely a fiction piece written by Aubrey as a project, which would have handily explained the numerous plot holes, stupid contrivances and pointless symbolism littered about the film.
** An actual example is related to an often quoted apparent plot hole: Why doesn't Dakota tell the cops to call the strip club where she works to confirm her identity? Since she is Aubrey's twin, that means she is underage, therefore the club owner would most likely go along with the "That woman's crazy" theory if the police interrogated her.

*** And again, it could have all been {{hand wave}}d away if they'd just kept the "well, a kid wrote it" concept.
