The visualisation of the killer's alter-ego and his imagined whereabouts shouldn't be too much of a problem for mature audiences, really - though I can see why smart-arsed teenage girls might be a bit put out.
There wasn't so much complaint about the 'two-places-at-once' scenarios in Fight Club. I think the problem might be that by the time Haute Tension came along, audiences were just about recovered from being tricked like this and had adopted the 'won't fool me twice!' stance. And to pull this in a gory slasher flick! The distaste is almost understandable.
But anyone who claims they 'got' the twist before it happened is a lowdown, doggone liar ;)
