I don't think the play has a cop out ending. My recollection of the play is that the mom killed "The Bad Seed" to keep her from murdering more people.

Yeah, the play had a different ending. I thought I'd heard somewhere that the movie ended that way because of the Code. 'Course, it's been a while since I saw it. Didn't God (or, you know, lightning) smite the little girl at the end?

Like in The Good Son, which I think is an underrated movie.

Didn't Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds have an album called The Good Son ?

Lightning. In the novel, she survives to continue her murdering ways.

I hate to bring this discussion lowbrow with a slasher movie (but it's John Carpenter, so stop judging me) but Halloween-- oh, that movie fucked my shit up. What scared me: every single time Myers would be in a shot, then the shot would cut away, then cut back, and he would be vanished. Second, of course, is him rising behind Jamie Lee Curtis.

Is Bravo going to rerun that scariest moments special? I watched that all the way through and I usually do all I can to avoid horror.

I want to rewatch that now that I've seen Audition. Because I didn't watch the moments from that, because it seemed like a movie I'd want to see and be surprised by. Now I want their PoV.

I've not seen the film, but just the clips they showed were enough to freak me out. Not at all implausible the way unkillable camp counselors or dream-haunting burn victims are.

Was Audition as fucking creepy as it seemed?

God, yes. And not least of all because of the switch in tone. There were bits I really knew I couldn't watch, but I'm not sure the sounds alone weren't worse.

So nasty.

t puts Audition on list of things to never never never see

Joe still still curses the inDemand listing if it shows Ring 2.
