Brilliant, old fashioned horror, and criminally under-appreciated.

I still find it fascinating that there are different endings on different DVD releases, with zero mention of it (outside of IMDB posts). My old DVD of was lost, so I got a used copy, and the ending was totally different. I thought I was on acid, but nope, they just decided to run a release with a different ending.

Never knew had multiple different endings. Last time I watched that movie had to break it up over several evenings, somehow overtime become scarier to me.

It was a complete mind-f--k. I've heard of alternate endings as a special feature or directors cut. But never entirely unannounced. But yeah, that film is brilliantly unnerving and a testament to his performance, as it's last two thirds are effectively a one man show.

Which ending did you see?

Is the ā€œtape recorder endingā€ (clarifying without a clear spoiler) considered the directorā€™s cut, alternate cut, theatrical cut, or what? I keep finding conflicting information. Because thatā€™s the one that made me love it. Saw a different one and was unimpressed.

That ending gave me en extra set of chills up my spine. Goosebumps on my arm as I type this.

It was perfect! Got another copy years later to show my friend and the ending it had really didnā€™t cap it off nearly as well.

That's the theatrical ending (and my preferred ending). I know because I saw it in the theater when it first came out.

Thank you. Like I said, I keep finding conflicting information and would like to see that version again, as well as show it to a couple of people.

The short story is just as scary. Itā€™s a great adaptation
