Lets remember now, that all this was taking place in my head. I didn't discuss these plot twists with my friend, so this is going on in the space of maybe 2 or 3 minutes as I gather and process the new information. So, did my imagination stop there? Of course not, it was still in Hallmark mode. Beyond that, it was now a Hallmark that can defeat the mean friend through any kind of weird, possibly mystical, methods.
Suddenly, the group of friends encounters the murderer, now made into a separate entity, and together the group realizes that with love and friendship and the power of their bonds to each other, they can get through anything. So they manifest this mighty force of goodness and fight back at the ever nasty one, blinding him and enabling his defeat.
Now I never got any other effects besides blinding at the time, but it occurs to me now that he could be disintegrated, or the evil could be driven from him and destroyed, and the friend made friendly again. But that wouldn't have allowed my mind to continue along a cheesy moral values beats all storyline (with the exception of that made friendly option, though that one is more of a cartoon/anime plot) and end up with the murderer all tied up and unmasked, helpless at the hands of the police and this "circle of friends." He glowers and speaks just before he is taken away.
"I would have gotten away with it too if it weren't for you kids and your incredible friendship"
at which point everyone around him laughs heartily and they climb into their happy van and drive off.
So yeah, through a terrible series of murders a group of friends learns that their bonds and love for one another can overcome anything. I can think of a couple people who might watch that.
