I'd recommend to watch it in theatres...The storyline is very simple, but it's the concept and the way they visually brought it together that makes it great...PeACe

Was all of that going thought his head, like imagination. Thats what I thought but if that was true then that wouldn't explain the conversation between him and his daughter on the tape recorder.

I don't think it was all in his head...the ending is pretty much a confirmation of that. Place is fucked.

Sick ass movie.

*SPOILER ALERT*



















How did you guys interpet the ending?  Did he actually get out of the room, and he took that tape recorded convo with him and his daughter out of the room?  Or, is he still in the room, and he'll never be able to escape?

^^Naah, it just confirmed that it wasn't in his head. That the room really was haunted and that he really did experience all that...I'm pretty sure he got out.

It's more about the ride and the visuals than it is about "how it ends"...

Well, it's a recycled Stephen King story...And as many times as you think you might've seen it, I bet no one can work the premise like he does. I feel what you're sayin though.

I just watched this but the thing is I watched a directors cut edition, which apparantley has a different ending than the original one. I loved the movie but the ending sucked so I wanna know if the endings are really different.

Ok, so heres the ending in the directors cut:




* ********************SPOILER*****************************

It ends with him killing himself by setting the whole room on fire, basically to finally "kill" the room, so that nobody can ever get trapped anymore. They show his funeral and Samuel L. Jackson playing the tape. And in the very end, they show him in the burned room as a ghost, comunicating with his daughter.

^The theatrical ending didn't show him dying, I believe, but I forgot the exact ending, so I'll have to watch it again.

When you get the chance to watch it again, rember to post/describe the ending here, Im really curious how they wrapped it up.

In the theatre, he burns the room, but a fireman comes and saves him, he wakes up in the hospital, his wife is there and they're move back in together, and his wife gives him a box of thigns that were rescued from the room, he takes the recorded, turns it on, you hear the daughters voice.. and it ends there.

Now that I think of it, the ending I watched is probably better, the theatre one is another happy Hollywood ending.

The theatrical ending left a lot up to the viewer, though...Kinda kept you thinking...PeACe
