I got only about 5 minutes into Haters (H8RZ) when I couldn't concentrate on the story seeing how Alex, who seemed to be a male character, was so effeminate. Clearly a female actress was playing this role. So I looked here on this site at the cast and this is what I found -
Eliza Bennett ... Brittany Tammand / Alex Thomas
So, a few minutes later into the movie when a dead chick named Brittany is blackmailing the little crew of 5 students including Alex... I already knew who it was.
There is more going on which kept me watching including a thieving principal and a crazy manipulating teacher both played by A-List actors. But it is pretty silly that anyone who happens to look to see what actors are in this movie prior to watching it will unintentionally learn the big twist ending.
One of the things Haters (H8RZ) has in common with The Usual Suspects is that the film timeline takes place after the fact. In Usual Suspects it's already all over, and Kevin Spacey is sitting in the police station as one character, telling his version of what happened to the cop, hiding the fact that he's the other character they're looking for. In H8RZ the timeline also takes place after the fact. "Alex" is sitting in the school with the lawyer for the school board telling his version of what happened, hiding the fact that he's secretly "Brittany". The endings are the same too, with that main character just pulling away in time as the cop/school lawyer runs out to the street to get them but just misses them, and the audience is shown some flashed scenes of what really happened.
By the way, kudos to the cast list for The Usual Suspects which does NOT list actor Kevin Spacey's secret identity character. That cast list doesn't contain the big spoiler the way H8RZ's does.
