Ending
I saw this film on a boring weekend, while I would say it was far from perfect( Peter O'Toole was pretty good though) the ending was horrible. Miramax decided at the end of every single one of there "horror" movies during The Scream boom to have a ending where the killer is still alive and so forth( see Urban Legends, I know What you did Last Summer). But with this film it makes no sense. O'Toole said unless a nucleus tore off, but wasn't that the child in the sewer( and when do small towns have such well developed sewers?)? And why would the creature take the shape of Liev Schreiber and go into a bar? Wouldn't the creature be doing something alot more pro-active? But the creature did not survive, because the kid was the nucleus! The large thing was the creature and the kid was the nucleus, hence the "It is dead" now line from the end. This film is worlds of horrible just because of that ending. Anyway that is al I have to say.
