So, just when you think the kid is safe, he's grabbed by the evil from under the ground. And the mom grabs the little girl. Yeah, after investing 2 hours, I want to see the hero get killed.
shareI watched most of this on the Sci-Fi Channel back in '06 but I had to leave unexpectedly and missed the end. Found it in the bargain bin at Walmart a couple days ago -- I liked what I saw of it and had no prior knowledge that it was Tobe Hooper's, so I thought I'd give it another shot. Turns out, I only missed the opening titles and the very end... and jeez, if I'd seen the last 10 minutes eight years ago, I probably wouldn't have remembered the film fondly. I don't need a happy ending to be satisfied, but at least a logical ending would be nice. Great atmosphere, some really fun performances/moments, passable straight-to-video effects.... but that terrible ending tainted the whole affair.
