[MASSIVE SPOILER FOR ENDING OF TCSM] What do YOU think happened to...


... Sally after she got away in the pick-up?

A) Committed to a psychiatric institution for the rest of her life
B) Cut her hair short, wrote a book/gave seminars on 'not being a victim', taught self-defence at the local YWCA
C) Released after prolonged psychiatric care and lived as a virtual shut-in, with an insane amount of locks, alarms, and booby-traps at her home; when she did venture out always carried a Taser
D) Disappeared off the grid completely, never heard from again
E) Recovered well, put it all behind her, got married and became a regular soccer mom
F) Never got over it, committed suicide
G) Any other suggestion

I think A or C.

I'm taking the movie in isolation, ignoring anything said or hinted at in belated sequels or reboots. In other words, asking what you would have thought happened afterwards if you'd seen this movie when it first came out.

reply

I really don't think anyone would get over that. So I would assume, A.

reply

Yeah, she was obviously strong mentally to be able to survive, but the toll it would have taken on her is hard to imagine.
