It was definitely still a good movie! Just was surprised that the twist was supposed to be super shocking when I thought it was pretty obvious

It’s definitely clear from what the movie gives you that something is up with Malcom, and this crisis moment we see him go through is unresolved.

I recall knowing something was coming there, and more than just his relationship working/not working out. But I didn’t know there was a twist so every possibility was there for me and when it’s revealed i wasn’t so much shocked as i was interested in how they finally narratively aligned the pieces they’d given us along the way.

This movie, The Others, The Ring and even the Japanese version of the Grudge (English version was just ok) I thought were quite profound/complex for being PG-13 horror films and relying more on psychology than the torture porn that was emerging at the same time.

Edit: just checked and I guess Ju-On is R-rated. Can’t recall why… but I’d still put it (and its PG-13 American counterpart) in this group.
