(5) When they arrive at Betty Buckley's house, they discover that her husband (the military officer in the picture) developed a chemical weapon that makes people kill themselves and that she's using it because she hates humanity so much! And that child-doll is really a canister of the toxin!
(4) It turns out that it's not the plants that are emitting the toxin, as everyone supposes throughout the film, but the people themselves! Humankind has evolved a population control mechanism!
(3) The baby Zooey Deschanel is pregnant with is really the Anti-Christ, and the whole killing-yourself thing was black magic designed by group of anti-apocalyptic crusaders who knew that the baby was going to be born of some couple in the northeast -- but they missed!
(2) The people aren't really committing suicide at all -- they're all actually fine, and it's Wahlberg and Deschanel who are really dead!
(1) That scientific method that Marky Mark pounds us over the head with throughout the film is really totally useless, because the laws of physics have been completely changed!
[Note: before you snicker, consider that, in light of multi-dimensional theories of the universe, this is actually more likely than many different species of plants spontaneously (and in a Lamarkian fashion) evolving a toxin that has a very specific response and only affects one species of mammal.]

Once again I am going to rant here.
The thing with Mnight is that you can't take his other movies and EXPECT them to end up the same. Who says there has to be a twist?
Just because Mnight had a twist in other movies doesn't mean he has to have one in this one too.
And whatever happened (ha) to suspending your disbelief? Isn’t that what movies are for? I think people are spending too much time examining the skin deep parts of this movie and not at all what's at the heart.
But then again, I think you either like Mnight or you don't. I haven't met one person besides my family who has, which is a shame.
Mnight! I will remain an avid fan! :D
This post was written in a tongue-in-cheek manner, so don't take it too seriously. I'm just trying to demonstrate that he may have tried too much to not use a twist in this movie, and it backfired because in doing so, he created a plot-less, end-less movie.
I do actually agree with that. It was pretty end-less, and some scenes were almost pointless. And whenever something gorey would happen I would go "really mnight? really?"
