My wife & I are celebrating our wedding anniversary on Friday (the 2nd of Oct.)
I'd been talking about the movie for the past few days and I guess she listened; we were able to get tickets to a midnight showing for Friday night in Baton Rouge at Rave's website.

I'd like to see the other endings, I wasn't satisfied with the one from Friday night.

What about the rest of the movie...what did you think?
Also, it's my understanding that the ending being shown in the limited-city previews is the ending that the studio deemed the best one. I'm told though, that the other two endings seem more legitimate (given what's already happened in the movie up to that point), but are also harsher in content.

Which ending did they show in BR? The one they showed last weekend in Austin is not the same one that they showed at the sneak preview show I went to. Apparently, there are 3 different endings. I saw the worst, in terms of being horrific, of the 3.

I saw it last Friday at midnight at the Mall Rave - it was pretty scary and very well made for it's $14k budget. I was unaware that there was different endings... I'd like to see the others.

The ending you described was better than the ending we got in BR. Our ending had Katie killing Micah then disappearing instead of killing herself.

Here are descriptions of the three endings I've seen online.
The last ending is the one I saw Friday night in BR.
quote:
We watch through the camera as the couple sleep. Then suddenly Kate sits straight up, gets out of bed, walks over to Micah and stands over him staring at him for a few hours. Then she walks out of the bedroom and we hear her going downstairs. After a few minutes tick off the clock, we hear Kate screaming. Micah wakes up, screams to Kate that he is coming to help her, and he darts out of the room. For the next few minutes you just see an empty bedroom with the ticking clock and you hear both Kate and Micah screaming and a lot of commotion like they are fighting. After a few minutes, the screaming stops and it is silent. After a minute or two of silence, you hear a loud stomping sound (like something very heavy is coming up the stairs).
From here, the ending diverges: Kate walks into the bedroom covered in blood and holding a large butcher knife down at her side. She walks into the room very heavy and stiff-like. She walks right up to the camera so that the upper half of her body is in the shot (but she isn't staring into the camera or looking at you, she's sort of looking downward), and then she simply pulls up the knife and slashes her throat in one quick, graceful movement, and falls down on the ground. The camera keeps rolling so we just see an empty bedroom for a few seconds and then the camera shuts off and the movie ends.
quote:
A description from someone who had seen a screener of the film described a longer ending in which Kate kills Micah offscreen and then walks into the bedroom with a bloody knife. She then sits and rocks beside the bed for days (long enough that we hear the phone ringing and worried messages left in the background). Katie's female friend then comes to the house worried and Katie goes downstairs where you hear the friend scream. Katie comes back to the bedroom and continues rocking beside the bed as the counter records more days going past. Finally police arrive and as she approaches them with the knife they open fire on her and we fade out to the sound of police radios. It sounded much more unsettling than the ending I had seen and seemed to make better use of the dread that rendered the rest of the film so traumatic. The only thing that seemed off was the use of police - it seemed a little anti-climatic and risked providing too much closure.
quote:
Katie gets up stands on Micah's side of the bed for about two hours then walks out of the room. She screams then Micah wakes up and runs to go to her. You then hear both of them screaming off screen. There's a noise that sounds like footsteps coming up the stairs and you see Micah getting thrown at the camera and Katie is standing in the doorway covered in blood. She walks up to the camera does something to Micah's body then looks at the camera and the movie ends by saying that his body was discovered by San Diego police and no knows where she is at.
The last ending is the one I saw Friday night in BR.
