Yeah, it's crazy how many people missed the theme/point of the movie. Slowik didn't just enjoy killing people for no reason. He was obsessed with the idea of turning all the people who'd made his life hell into his magnum opus. He had no reason to kill Erin. She was the one person there who made him genuinely happy, and who had done nothing to deserve to be there.

That dramatic beat at the end of the movie wasn't there to hint at another twist, it was to convey the transformation that Erin had gone through.

When I watched this recently, a quote stood out to me where the doctor asks him if he is alright and he said "yeah!". Then the doctor followed up with: "Yeah, you're alright. You're alive." It was just so simple and a heartwarming piece of dialogue that easily can get lost in a movie but meant a lot.

As a depressed person, the overall unlikability of everyone works for me. It puts you in the mind of someone who wants to cut people out of her life and sleep all day. It makes weddings feel artificial and married life feel like a prison. It makes an inbound death planet feel like an escape.

It's not about sympathy. It's about putting you in the headspace of severe depression. If you don't want that experience then that's completely reasonable, and I recommend you skip this movie, because that's the intention and it's very effective at it.
