SyFy showed the 2nd ending tonight


This was the first time I'd seen the second ending on TV - all the other channels had shown the first one where he is sitting at his desk and plays the tape recorder and he and his wife hear their daughter's voice, so they know he was not hallucinating. Anybody else know other channels that show the 2nd ending?

I had not seen the 2nd ending before, so when the Dolphin owner looked in his rearview mirror, I jumped a mile!!

Personally, I really liked the fact they showed the DC version in its entirety on SyFy. Such a great movie, made even better by the added bits in the DC (fleshes Mike out a lot more with the scenes of him and his father, and the ending is somber but unsettling).

I'm sure they just play whatever they got. What a bunch of whiners!

Please, lol. You make it seem like they just blindly pull a dvd off a shelf and play it. You clearly have no insight into how television channels operate. Everything is done with 100% purpose. If they are showing the director's cut, its because they wanted to show the directors cut. If they are airing the theatrical cut, its because they wanted to air the theatrical cut. If they are showing both the theatrical and director's cut off and on, which they are, its because they want to show both versions. Nothing is left to chance. I can promise you, Syfy is well aware that there are 2 versions of this film and when they do air it, they know exactly which version they are airing. Again, its all planned and done on purpose. They don't just flip a coin or close thie eyes and blindly pick between the two. And I have seen both versions air on Syfy so I know they have access to both versions of the film.

Still Shooting With Film!
