Jesus the idea that other people will overwhelm your conciousness so they can live forever is high octane-nightmare fuel.the only way this film could have happy ending is if malkovich is killed instantly saving Emily and those after her.

good point.

I think Kaufman and Jonze were well aware of how horrific it was; consider that, in an earlier draft, Dr. Lester and his cohorts were Satanists, with a much more Rosemary's Baby sort of vibe. Bottom line, it's a black comedy.

while watching the movie, I kept thinking this is something Stephen King could've wrote

He did write it! Check out The Dark Tower book 2. It involves going through doors to takeover other people's minds.

I agree with the parent. Amazingly creepy ending!

Full agreement. The true sadness of it all is in the bar scene when Cusack leaves. Malkovich looks in the mirror..."I'm free..", only to be enslaved again mere seconds later.It is a tragic tale with no heroes.

The most terrifying concepts of this movie:

"being jammed down into the subconscious"

Malkovich losing complete control of his body and being forced to helplessly observe for 8 f0cking months.

This is so terrifying; it deserves a 10 out of 10
