Plot Twist? 

"Your body (died). Many times," Nina explains to her mother. "But there's nothing left to fear, now. You're safe here." She wasn't escaping to make it to freedom but rather make it to the other side of death and finally reach into peace reunited with her daughter again.

Bright light washes over her, and she begins to levitate.After being pulled into a white light and waking up in a luscious natural setting where her wounds have healed, the sun is shining, and the birds are chirping, everything seems okay. She's reunited with her daughter, and there are no immediate threats. 

Notes - Thoughts

The movie serves up some nifty imagery. The floating skull with a big metal eyepiece is interesting. Might've been able to guess the plot twist but with everything going on you never really know what was to come next.
