So this could be taken 2 ways. Sharron is literaly the daughter of Ellisa or Sharron is literaly the good half of Ellisa meaning that the demon represents the evil half of Ellisa and when the 2 come together they become one. See right before the end you see the demon come to Sharron and Sharron opens her eyes brifly and then the demon is right in her face then Sharron faints. If you notice Sharron has some different qualities to her after this experience. She now has the sinister stare that the demon had when she looks down at Ellisa's mother. There are a lot of camera shots on Sharron after the event that show that something is different about Sharron.
Another reason I believe that they are in an alternate reality is that Chris can still get their phone calls even though its stacky.
Lastly, when the demon first approached Ellisa at the hospital her offer was that the town would fall into her darkest nightmare, thus impying that Ellisa has control over reality as she chooses.

Sounds like good explanation of very confusing movie, especially towards the end...I think Sharon is 50/50 good/evil Sharon/Alyssa reunited at the end...they(Rose and Sharon) are def. in another reality or in hell, when they are in the school the same time as the husband and Officer Gucci-they are in different worlds or realities..just as the husband is somewhere else at the end ...thought the movie had potential, did have some good horror moments, thought it just fell to pieces last 1/4 though...after watching it the 2nd time, I put it in the "not good" category...and I still needed some more explanation on the whole buring town thing...underground coal fires? hell? fire from the Hotel still going in that reality? and as they drive across the chasm at the edge of town, the road reappears. Their dimension is still shrouded in smoke, ash, and fog. Husband is napping at home on the sofa in the real world. Rose and Sharon — still within the fog — enter the house and it is made obvious that they are trapped in their separate, but parallel realities.

Hi, just thought i might stop by and state how much i despise this retarded movie.:)

[evildemontoo]

Ha ha, I didn't like to to much either Mothman! But you have to admitt that the ghoulies/demons that were all deformed and jerking around were pretty awesome! That totally freaked me out.

After the discussion here, I think I have to go with my initial reaction that they are in some altered reality. I also think that in the end Sharon and Alyssa somehow fused. I think it was when towards the end and the barbed wire was flying all over the place the MOM said for Sharon to close her eyes and she sneaked a peak into the eyes of Alyssa. I agree after that shot , scenes of Sharon up close seemed to show that something else was in there. I still think it all boils down to a mother staying with a child, since they kept saying that kind of stuff throughout the movie.

I don't know if it was just the actress playing the mom or not, but some of her dialogue was just out of place in the scheme of things. I don't know if she didn't deliver it correctly or what.

You like to say that, but you never give any reason beyond that it's "retarded":rolleyes:

bad acting, stupid monsters that look like there are break dancing, stupid plot twists (the movie turned into "the crucible" for fucks sake. atmosphere was the only good thing about it.

Coming from the guy who spends most of his time with foreign "trash" films, you dont have much ground to stand on here. Agreed that the main girl wasnt so great, but compared to most modern day horror the rtest of the cast was great. Esp. Sean Bean, who was completely wasted IMO.

Not much like The Crucible at all there dude...just cause there is witch burning type stuff doesnt mean shit. And how exactly are the plot twists "stupid"? What a lazy, undescriptive word.


All you did here man was take your post about it being "retarded" and add a few more adjectives that mean the same thing:rolleyes:

originally, there wasn't going to be any major male roles....it was only after the producers got nervous that they modified the script.
