|
I watched the original 'Stepford Wives' this afternoon, and I must say that the ending left me feeling disturbed, sad and frankly, a little cheated all in all.
I felt disturbed and sad because although it wasn't made completely obvious, there was enough to draw the conclusion that Joanna became a 'Stepford wife'.
I also felt cheated because throughout the movie, the writers had been building up the tension of her trying to work out what was going on, her friends dropping like flies and then BAM! To me, it was like they almost couldn't be bothered to write a happy ending, so they went with the most plausible one.
Sad now.
But, despite the ending, I still think it is a very good movie that definitley gives you food for thought and leaves you with chills down your spine.

To watch or not to watch...
That is the question.

For me, the best creepy didn't see it coming WOW! ending for a horror movie of that era is "Rosemary's Baby." A Classic. Still a Wow. I hope they never remake it. _________________ NB Duchess of WHY TF Cant'chu Punctuate, First Duchess of F*&(ing &*ll yur comma placement sux!

If I remember correctly, in the original SW, she does become a zombie wife. And that is what was so horrible about it. Now, the second one, that was just stupid. And from what I have heard about the third one, I will skip it even when it hits the favorites at Blockbuster.
Rosemary's Baby, chill city. Even the Exorcist was not that bad. Not even Damian. Rosemary's Baby was close to the epitome of horror. Done in true Poe fashion. _________________ The only opinions that count, are those of the ones in control.
