Unique selling point

There are two sides to every coinOur unique selling point is that by the time the film is over the audience will be unsure about whether the things they have seen were merely imaginings from the protagonist’s deluded mind or whether it was all, in fact real. It makes them raise questions about what is going on within the film and the title sequence. It draws them in and makes them want to view what the whole film is about.
