I don't know whose ending I saw.
These girls have the most beautiful dresses. And so do I -- how about that?

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

In the original ending, Katie gets out of bed, stands catatonic for a bit, goes downstairs, screams, Micah runs downstairs, we hear more screaming, Katie comes back up with the kitchen knife and slits he own throat for the camera.
In Speilberg's ending, Katie gets out of bed, stands over Micah, goes downstairs, scream, Micah rushes down, screams, thumping back up the stairs, Micah's gets thrown into the camera, Katie crawls in all animal-like, turns demon-face, cut to a title saying Micah's body was found, Katie's whereabouts are unknown.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Sean, I think that combination would have been neat too. Because the scariest part of Spielberg's ending was her throwing Micah at the camera. The demon lunge at the camera was just sort of standard.
javachik, I'm pretty sure theatres only showed Spielberg's ending, which I basically described above. The original ending had Katie walking back to the bedroom, presumably having killed Micah downstairs, and slitting her throat in front of the camera. The director's cut apparently has a third ending that just sounds weird where Katie stands in front of the camera for DAYS until the cops show up, and she goes down and gets shot by them or something.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Weird. I saw that third ending. I didn't even know about the other two.

Thanks! I might have actually preferred the original ending. But I did enjoy the movie a lot.

More than anything, it was the actors that sold me. Superb performances. Especially Katie.

Reading everyone's white font has convinced me that I NEVER NEED TO SEE this movie. Ever. It is the type of creepy movie that will freak me out FAR too effectively.

Especially Katie.

Jilli, you know I don't believe in ghosts (as much as I want to). Ghost movies in particular don't scare me because of that. I was in a lit room with two other adults, and all three of us were scared by it. But it's like a master class in economic filmmaking. Yeah, it will definitely scare the BEJEEZUS out of you, but you should try to watch it some time, anyway.

What the hell is going on?! Why did I just see James Marsden as Alan Tudyk and Chris Rock as Matthew McFadyen and Peter Dinklage reprising his role in a remake of Death at a Funeral?! Really? A remake of a three year old movie?
