I don't get why people think the ending was confusing. Made perfect sense to me. Cusack and Jackson were great, as was Fuhrman. Never read the book or other King books, haven't watched but one of his movies, but this one was high-anxiety and dread-inducing for me. As for complaints about the special effects, they didn't make or break the movie for me. Perhaps people need to use their imagination more, instead of their cell phones?! Actually, that thought probably pertains to this whole story. You're not being fed every detail, you need to imagine some for yourself.
