Kellie gets impaled while mother's spirit appears in final twist
Kellie murders grandfather Bernard by withholding his inhaler medication
The film crashes from a promising supernatural setup to its lowest point during Kellie's murder spree, then rebounds significantly with the twist ending that most reviewers found genuinely surprising.
Totem starts with a promising supernatural premise that reviewers found atmospheric and intriguing, but deteriorates significantly in the second half with what critics called ludicrous character decisions and poor writing. The film redeems itself somewhat with a twist ending that most reviewers praised as unexpected and well-executed, though many felt it came too late to save the overall experience.
