The ending is even more sad if you think about it.
Tara does not have the tools to survive in the wild. She doesn't have the claws, teeth, fur or metabolism. Even if she did survive for a time in the wild, come winter, she would die cold and alone from exposure. And to make it more worse, the movie seems to indicate she still has a small memory of her former self. Overall, it is one of the most tragic endings I have seen.
I found the last scene with tim curry and the fat woman to be the most depressing.
Your Favorite Cannibal, Archie Hannibal
do all grossly obese women have superhuman strength like that?

I saw the tv version and the DVD, and the DVD was edited, for one thing, in the tv version it appears that Tara killed Madeleine Stowe's character at her lab, in the DVD that scene was cut. I like to think that eventually, Tara regains her sanity and lives normally.
shareOoh! Really? I would have loved to see that scene!
There's a new world order coming, Shadow, and I'm going to be a king! A KING!
I still think that nerdy guy would save her. Come on, he still has feelings for her not to shoot her, do you think he would let her die?
shareI agree that it's a tragic ending, but not that it's the most tragic ending ever.
Abandoned by her 'boyfriend', left by the only family she's ever known, forced to be naked for the rest of her entire life in a deserted forest, because no person would even dare to come close to her. It all seems to be a tragic ending for Tara.
But wait, there's still hope. There's still a pack of wolves in the forest. Maybe that's Tara's true family. She can join them and be happy. In that way, she can have the one thing she always dreamed of: a family of her own.
I know it may sound strange, but look at Romulus and Remus, 2 girls in Roman mythology, who were raised by wolfs. So, it may be possible for Tara to be raised by a pack of wolves for the rest of her entire life.
IMO, that would be a happy ending.
2 boys in Roman mythology...
but anyways, I love your interpretation of the ending. I actually never thought about that. Nice one.
ah yes. Star Wars invented small people AND burning.
Tara losing hair and turning into a wolf on the inside wouldn't necessarily mean that her metabolism hasn't changed, now would it? IMO, she didn't change her looks, but she did change her metabolism. In that way, she could go through winter without having a cold. Maybe the serum she was injected with, didn't only change her behavior, but her metabolism as well.
