Review of The Ugly (1997) by John W — 14 Feb 2013
This is a movie I got into because of a sampler DVD called "Boogeymen". The scene they picked for this movie really piqued my interest. Simon's having his final breakdown, fading in and out of his memory of killing the only girl he loved, and trying desperately to shake the demons that control him.
Or do they? That's what's so great about this movie. Everything is up for interpretation. Including the ending, which might be the first film to include an alternate ending as part of the storyline.
Or not. This is a film that requires many, many multiple viewings, with so many red herrings that end up actually being meaningful, or not, you'll be talking to yourself after you've finished it.
I still don't know whether to feel sympathy for Simon or to feel sympathy for Karen, who Simon seems to be toying with. Or is he? See why I like this so much?
