Good, then maybe you can explain it to me. Because personally I thought it was 2 and a half hours of crap.

Loved it. The first half is a dream. 2nd half is reality. Don't let the freaky stuff in her dream trick you into thinking its just some weirdo film...

I figured that much out. It was a dream and she had actually had her girlfriend(Camilla) killed, then in the end she killed herself, right?

Yep.
At the very start of the film you see her head hit the pillow and drift off to sleep. Her dream starts from there - and is so weird, IMO, because she is under so much stress that shes just hired a hitman to take out her ex-lover. Most of the characters you see in the dream you then find out are in fact people shes seen in real life. They are just warped into her dream because dreams are exactly that..a figment of your imagination really with the odd part of real life (person, location) thrown in.
When she awakes she finds the key (which shows the hitman has done his job) and starts having hallucinations at the thought shes killed the other bird. The little people coming through the door are representation IMO of her concince..I think they are her grandparents who raised her. The thing that threw me was how she portrayed herself in the dream, such a nice person but in real life she was a much more petty and callous person.

It was just such a weird film though. It was okay until you got three quarters through it.
Betty and Dianne were the same person, obviously. The monster behind the diner was symbolic of what she was trying to fight in her subconscious over having her girlfriend killed(I think) and I know what the key symbolised, but who the hell were those two old people. The ones with that horrible evil smile?
This movie was far too deep to watch on a Friday night after a long hard week at work, when all I wanted to do was veg out!
