The ending


That scene when Jesse was seeing himself in the mirror was so strange! Anybody else think that scene was a bit scary? He was seeing multiple reflections of himself.

I've always thought that mirrors in which you can see multiple reflections are frightening. You should try to find the TV movie Mirrors which uses this effect to chilling proportions.

I thought the same thing too. So Rachel died at the end of the movie but came back to him in a dream. Him seeing the reflections of himself I thought was to show he was going crazy too like schizophrenic because of the different personalities.

I'm just glad he had her dog!

It's a great psychological end to that movie.. it's so more deep and real than the OG's end was. That movie's ending was slightly goofy.. it is implied Sue has serious mental issues after that, but that dream kinda ruins it all besides being a great jump scare. She just screams her lungs out with that goofy music cue and the movie just stops..

This one meanwhile is a solid and subtle look into how tragic events and heartbreak ruins people. Poor Jesse was spiritually and soulfully broken by that point; and that dream breaks him even more. That thousand yard stare he has breaks my heart everytime I watch this movie.. the whole mirror effect is goofy as is the CGI but honestly for 1999 it wasn't bad. It's miles better than that awful CGI snake they tried.

Jason London acts his butt off in that scene too; he sells the heartbreak and lost look so dang good.
