    Katie and Micah were being hunted by the IRS and decided this was the best way to "disappear".

    They currently live in Michigan, where Katie (now Sandra) is a homemaker, and Micah (now Paul) is an easy listening DJ for Dearborn's number 2 station, KLPP.

    It really confused me and a coworker when we were talking about this film because we each saw a different ending with out knowing there were different endings. Confusion quickly destroyed thanks to IMDB.

    i have to disagree! even before i left the movie theater my mind was racing through a hundred different questions! where am i going to get lunch? how long was i asleep in there? why did i do what i did to myself... or did my girlfriend do it? what about the obnoxiously noisey people behind me - often heard by never seen? could they be headed to the same lunch spot as i? one part tex one part mex?

    Ugh. The idea that the demon has "bigger fish to fry" robs the story of all its good drama. Just because it is a demon doesn't mean it has grandiose machinations. Possessive demon with caveman mentality and antics latches on to human woman like a caveman would. Mine, mine, you no have her.

    By making this demon into an Errol Flynn villain you have demonstrated to the world that you either: (a) can't let other people succeed without trying to participate yourself and/or (b) you missed the point entirely.

    Either way, good luck Scott. I hope you don't fail nearly as hard as I think you will.

    @Husher: You think so? AVP 1 & 2 both sucked sucked sucked and they had no effect on the awesomeness that is the Alien franchise.

    And look at Batman Forever and Batman & Robin. They didn't affect much more than their own reputation.

    If this project fails, it will go down alone. Correction, it will go down along with the staff that thought it up.

    @Dr.Quatermass Sc.D: Purveyor of Truth, Disseminator of Lies:
    "AVP 1 & 2 both sucked sucked sucked and they had no effect on the awesomeness that is the Alien franchise." - Yeah it did... you can pretty much rule out anything else in either series being made for some time now

    "And look at Batman Forever and Batman & Robin. They didn't affect much more than their own reputation." - Wrong! Because of those two horrid movies, it took a lot of time and quite the effort to get WB to even contemplate the idea of another Batman movie.

    Studios don't consider the fact that the movies they released were garbage. They just see that it tanked and conclude that no one is interested in the subject matter.

    @karelj: Five years back, I would totally agree, but forums like these play an infinitely larger role in the development of movies these days. What we say here does have an effect, albeit small, and accordingly, companies gauge more than just the profits.

    Hardly. I've wondered "what happens next" in movies where the monster "wins." After all, people have friends and family who aren't just going to let it slide. There are also these people with guns and badges who get a bit obsessed with unsolved deaths.

    Classic Dr. Averys...always showing up a day after a demon kills someone. It's even his tagline:
