Viewing Notes

This was a rewatch, but my first time seeing it on Blu-Ray, which apparently has a different ending than the original theatrical release. Interesting. The extras also contain the original theatrical release and also an alternate ending, which I preferred even more than the other two.

The movie definitely has its plot holes and flaws in logic, but I still think it’s a pretty damn good little movie.

I really want to read the book, which a Twitter follower told me was even better than the movie.

I thought Laura Ramsey, who plays Stacy, really stole the show.
