![]() I would also question their decision to cut the scene where Katie rings her father at 4AM to ask him if the photo survived the fire - it was only a few seconds long but it gave you a real insight. Without the exorcism scene, the Ouija board scene doesn't make much sense so I think the film makers have made a big mistake in removing that scene. Katies reaction as she realises what the demon is capable of doing is very real and the scene ramps up the tension as Micah realises the seriousness of what is happening. I am very sad to hear that the exorcism scene has been cut because it was absolutely chilling. ![]() This is significant because he later discovers that the woman who be helieves was possessed by the same demon on the internet was called Diane (she's the woman who chews her arm off during her failed exorcism). In the original cut, Micah works out that the burns on the Ouija Board spell out a name - DIANE. I've only seen the original because the new version hasn't been released in British cinemas yet. So conclusively, if you have a large television in your home, you are in luck for an improved experience. ![]() It seems like it would be scarier at home but the experience is better in front of a large screen. But for those who have not seen it, I definitely think its worth checking out. It seemed so pointless to even keep the scene in the movie but Im not sure if I missed its meaning toward the movie. One scene that leaves me extremely confused is the one with Micah studying the scratched (or whatever) ouja board, saying that it contained "a message" that he couldnt figure out. I feel that there were so many options that a major motion picture simply ignored. Upon recently seeing the film, researching its regarding information, and really thinking about it. I walked away from it feeling that the idea of it was suprisingly really awsome, but felt that some parts just destroyed my enjoyment towards it. I think what is truly disappointing about this film is that there were so many possible options for improving the film. THEN she could of killed herself or that could of possibly left room for a sequel. I probably would of been more satisfied if she would of suddenly woken from her trance and realizing that he is not in sight gone downstairs to find his dead body and realizing what she had done. Realistically it just seemed stupid and immoral because she was really only freaking out. However I did not like the way that the police shoot her. I also liked the second ending because she just stays there in a trance for so many days. It was so frightening to me because it was basically showing that the demon was in the room with her. I found it so creepy in the theaters ending when Katie is standing over micah before going downstairs, while suddenly the blanket is pulled off of him. I completely relate to what you are saying about how you wish they would of pasted the two endings together. The release of the DVD will include the original as well as the theatrical version. The demon makes some noises in the spare room and the cops investigate only to find nothing. The cops repeatedly ask her to stop, but she doesn’t and they shoot her down. She runs at the cops, asking where Micah is. She snaps out of her trance and is completely confused. The cops show up and go upstairs to find Katie. One of her friends comes to check on them and finds what we presume to be Micah’s body. She sits on the floor by the bed and starts rocking back and forth. Then we hear heavy footsteps of the demon walking up the stairs, only it appears to be Katie and she has blood all over her shirt and a knife in her hand. Paramount didn’t change the sounds that we hear while they are downstairs: lots of screaming, Micah freaking out, etc. Eventually, she goes downstairs and Micah wakes up to her screaming and runs downstairs. She doesn’t walk over and stand above Micah. In the original, Katie gets out of bed and stands there in her trance state for a while. It’s executed completely differently and especially towards the last moments. In concept, a lot of what occurs is the same.
