SPOILER ALERT!!!

Editor: The folks at dtheatre.com think you are an asshole (or Harry Knowles) if you force spoilers. If you can't be bothered with going to see the film, select blank area below to spoil the ending:
that the original ending was 180 degrees from the happy 'everything's happy again!' ending that was chosen by the studio/production for the movie...? Apparently Jim doesn't live through that mortal injury or the car wreck.

Ha ha! I got in for free! Gotta love those screening passes.

Still, I'm just gonna wait till the DVD comes out before I see the alt-ending.

I saw it last nite. Movie is good. scared me. I saw it 'cause of trainspotting/beach fame...alt ending blows...it is no longer than 45 seconds! all they do is go to a hospital and the lead male dies. and the girls just say, 'what do we do now?' "we move on" she says.

They should have nuked them as an alternate ending. That would have been way darker
