    The Strangers Alt Ending

    So, made obvious from the original trailer, TV spots, and poster and stills, there are a few parts from The Strangers we didn't get to see. I don't understand why they're not on the DVD but who knows why movie studios do a lot of the things they do...

    Anyways, I just kind of happened upon a supposed alternate ending to the flick. Sadly, the weirdo who uploaded them did so in 5, 20 second vids that he created by using probably a cell phone aimed at his TV screen. But here's the link to him if you want to watch the shakey vids.

    The new ending basically shows the house in the morning after Kristen and James have been murdered. The cell of the friend who James killed by accident mid-way in the movie starts ringing (plot hole there since they didn't take his phone to get help...).
    Kristen awakens and crawls to the phone but by the time she answers whoever was calling has hung up. At this same time I can only guess that The Man in the Mask comes back into the house. Kristen sheilds herself from what she expects to be another attack, but the man just takes the phone and leaves her there... and that's the end.

    So, would this ending have had a different impact on you if it would have been in the final cut? I prefer the ending they used.

    I have the unrated blu-ray and it gives me the choice of either the unrated extended edition or the theatrical edition.

    The extended edition has the ending you're talking about.

    I dug both endings kind of prefer the extended more though.

    I'm also happy with the original ending. I mean why take the phone from her and leave her there instead of just killing her. Dont know how they could have explained that in the sequel. Makes no sense to me

    Both endings are definitely on the DVD version, I remember the alt ending specifically last time I watched it. I like the new ending better because it only adds another level of mystery and intrigue as to why they would have left her after it is made clear that she sees one if not all of their faces. Makes them seem that much more deranged.
