  • The Witness

    I understand that you two think that the witness wasn’t really that good but if you honestly look at the witness it’s a deeper meaning, those two are constantly reliving this time loop. We all know in the first sequence she witnessed him murdering her and so she runs for it but then she ends up killing him and he ends up witnessing her murder making her the murder. I honestly think she was the murderer all along and that his spirit was tormenting her.
