I heard a lot about the ending from many reviewers, including the ones here. I made sure to not read any spoilers, so I had no idea on what was meant by "disturbing". As I watched, my mind wandered to what "disturbing" meant. Was it gory? Incredibly dark? Traumatising? I expected the worst, and upon seeing the ending...I was surprised. It was creepy, yes, but I found it more sad and almost bittersweet than disturbing.
All-in-all,I liked it. I do agree with that one commenter about the music, but it was thankfully rare and didn't detract from the film too much. 5 years 8 months ago -

A tale of obsession, manipulation, and fate. The last few minutes of the film was really creepy and disturbing. 13 years ago -
