This film really grabbed me. The girl was very pretty and interesting, and the tone of the movie was creepy. I just wished that somehow she could have turned the tables on him, and I was very upset that he killed her. Poor girl...was poisoned, lost her job, got a rash, messed her foot up, best friend was killed, then she was killed...I was hoping that we would see the revenge.
shareEvery other movie of this kind and similar ends the way you're describing. It's sometimes refreshing to see a film that doesn't have a Hays Code ending.
I Kill Kids!
I agree with you Thrillkiller. I've seen enough Hayes Code & cliche'd endings. I was genuinely surprised with this one.

Janeane Garofalo actually looked kinda hot in this movie.

I know it's "ballsier" (and unfortunately, more realistic too) to have Doug kill Amy at the end, but I really didn't like that. Poor girl. Of course, that made the movie scarier too.

True, I see your point...but I don't go to the movies for realism...but that's just me.
shareI don't agree that the ending usually does happen. Yes, women fall prey and get murdered to unstable stalkers all the time, but they don't keep getting away with it like suggested by this film. Going by his rant to Amy, she's not the first girl he's done this with, and by the time he kills Amy, it ends with him moving on to his next victim. How? They had an entire altercation in her apartment, with fingerprints, DNA, blood, endless evidence suggesting he was there. Amy mentioned him to her mother and possible other friends. He built her website and bought her art, talked about her to other people (like the other art buyers). It would just be impossible for him to get away with her murder.
People go to movies to be entertained and also to be enlightened, no one typically wants to watch a movie to come out feeling even more miserable and lethargic about life. That's why even in horror films, the "final girl" trope is so popular because we need SOME semblance of hope to make up for enduring so much terror.
