Forgot to mention above that Alex talks about the Klein bottle and explains a real one would exist in 4 dimensions, the fourth being time. So essentially what is happening at the end where you see the warping effect is the warping of space/time and is what Alex was referring to with the Klein bottle. Chris is travelling in both time and space so he ends up back in the previous location he was in (London) and not near The North where he was travelling to and also timeline wise back to the start of the movie thus having crossed over the closed loo0 and back to the beginning. The therapists at the end tell him to go to The North, they must have known this was the way to go for him to wrap around the mobius strip/Klein bottle

I think it’s mostly pretty easy to understand. The whole movie is one big loop, or a mobius strip. The therapists are laughing at the end because they found a way to cheat death and achieve a kind of immortality by living out their lives inside the loop. There’s a scene at the end where we see that Alex has made a sigil out of the words “close the loop” which is the same sigil that Chris sees in the beginning. Alex sort of lies and tells him it is to keep him healthy and says it has worked until now, so he is kinda telling him the truth in that he is living just fine in the loop. Alex explains to Chris in the movie the concept of the mobius strip, he takes a strip of paper and twists it and then connects it back in itself. Alex explains that an ant crawling on the mobius strip will end up back where it started when travelling in a straight line, however in the movie Chris has the perspective of the ant. The sigil talking about closing the loop basically means connecting the strip of paper back to itself after twisting it thus making a closed loop. Alex also explains to Chris about magic and magicians and how the belied of the magician is what makes it real. I believe Chris believing in the sigil, he in fact makes his own, grants the power of the close the loop sigil that Alex made. Kinda like a tulpa, belief is the power that makes it into reality. Or like Voodoo only working on those that believe in it. I believe they were looking for the right subject, someone who would truly believe. Caulson not being the right subject meant they turned to Chris. At the very end when Chris is driving to The North and his path ahead warps, what you’re seeing is his perspective of the loop in the mobius strip and he ends up travelling back to London without turning around. And we then start at the beginning of the movie and he goes to the crime scene etc. etc., all in one big loop. What I don’t get is the apparent crash? Where does that fit in? Maybe he dies thus causing the loop to restart, part of closing the loop? Why do the therapists suddenly drop dead after he leaves? Maybe his delusions? Maybe kept alive by him like a tulpa? Maybe they needed to die as a sacrifice to close the loop, part of the magic of the sigil? But yeah it’s mostly easy enough to understand.

Ok i think i may have figured it out, not 100 percent but made a dent,
Second time i have seen it now and it’s one o those films so cryptic it drove me mad and it’s not popular enough to have tons of threads to help you understand it, but the film does leave enough subtle clues i think that you pick up on repeat viewing

I think that the Coulson Character manipulated him into killing the two therapists and the rest after is either him trying to make sense of it in his head or he crashes the car and dies i am not sure but what we do know is

During begining cop fantasy they discuss Coulson and how he has been connected to a few violent crimes before but he was slippery and most likely talked others into doing the bidding for him, Red flag 1

We are then stuck in a confilct of is Coulsen telling truth and they are occult freaks targeting Chris or is Therapist telling truth that Coulsen is Dangerous and very adept at manipulation? on first viewing i though the first option, the Therapist does give off a sinister undertone and the ending kind of puts you more in that camp. However we know Chris is an absolute fantasist so you need to ignore that, plus right at the very end in the car you see flashes of the dead bodies which to me confirms he murdered them and bolted, and if you see it as therapist was innocent, he doesn’t actually do or say anything directly to make you think otherwise, he was an unorthadox man who was genuinely trying to get this man to snap out of his misery and open up,

Also the guy Chris gets the gun off was the friend of Coulsen at the party who brings up about the undercover cop thing to which Chris is alarmed and asks if Coulsen told him, he goes on to put ideas in his head that maybe he is after all an undercover cop, That whole party scene was mad but if Coulsen was as genuine as he seemed he wouldn’t have convinced a man of Chris state to go to that place, i believe he was being groomed and set up by Coulson and the friend, no grand masterplan probably more of lets fuck with this guy and see what we can get him to do, remember Coulsen isn’t really sick he just pretends

Coulsen is very well played charming and charismatic and you buy it when he is going off on the crazy rants but all he is really doing is putting ideas in Chris vulnerable head

Chris is basically sat in his bedsit day after day pining for that woman and when she up’s and leaves he snaps and kills the therapists and after that i am unsure, does he die is it just him driving to Manchester to stalk the girl again i don’t know

That he investigated his own crimes occurred to me too.

There’s another loop, from The North to London. And then there’s Kathleen. İs she a teacher or a forensics specialist. She’s sleeping with Chris and wearing red lipstick “in the beginning” and still with her (detective?) husband in “the end.” Whatever, her fringe is AWFUL. I think Chris is insane. In the scene where Chris does the deed, the dead bodies don’t match the explanation of where they were supposedly found in the set-up. It’s Chris’s fantasy that the therapists keep moving after they’re shot, like ghouls might do. He’s projecting doubt in his own humanity into his victims. I found it a very sad film, but then I suffer from depression. Chris’s description was apt. Depression, however is not insanity, although it feels like it sometimes. I was sorry to see depressives, who are not violent, being depicted as violent.

Chris creates this undercover cop story to investigate murders he committed.
