That Last Scene - WHEW!

Rating: 8/10 (1 August 1999)

As many readers before me have contested, this movie was truly excellently done! Well-deserved kudos to all involved because it did truly frighten me. I went to see this BY MYSELF on my 1/2 day off from work and, as Paula O'Keefe says in her user comment, I was *NOT* breathing during the tremendous final ten minutes (quote/un-quote). I found myself holding my breath, seriously, during the whole last climax, which I believe was longer than ten minutes and I had to remind myself to physically breathe.
I found this film terrifying because it left everything up to my imagination. I do not consider myself creative, but when it comes to imagination for horror, I guess I have it! I must agree with Rick Peach's user comment of "The last shot of this film will be stuck in my head for years to come" because it will be; it truly will be. When I finally remembered the story and figured out why the last shot was done the way it was, BINGO ... I had trouble sleeping that night and I did have nightmares, I hate to admit!
All in all, a wonderful movie that I look forward to dragging my husband to see with me. I HAVE to see it again! I hope it's number one in its wide-release weekend!!!
