SPOILER:

As you might recall, towards the end, Sarah hacks Juno's leg, leaving her to die. Now I don't care what she did, that's a bitch thing to do.

So when she turns around and sees Juno (obviously a mirage, but bloddied up and still living), it's the start of a life-long guilty conscience.

After her daughter died, her life was on her conscience, and she was always hallucinating, seeing her and hearing her.

Erego, Sarah murdered a human being, and now she'll suffer the guilt.

:END SPOILER




Anyway, I thought the movie was brilliant. 9.5/10

Best horror since The Blair Witch Project.

*** still some spoilers ***

still don't find it in keeping with the character, as throughout the movie, she keeps seeing her daughter, keeps hearing her laugh and is haunted by her. she's obviously losing it. i find the original ending way better because her grip on reality finally snaps, and she gets to be with her daughter, in a certain way.

in the end you don't really care what she did to juno. it's the fact that she reunites with her daughter in her head that is a more interesting concept. the american ending just makes it about her getting her revenge, while the original makes it a bit more profound than that.

that's just my take on it. but agreed, one of the best i've seen in a while.
