I'm usually a fan of this type of movie, but The Exam was just silly. The mysterious question was obviously going to by a cheap cop-out, which basically killed all the tension for me. The best part, though, is that the winning applicant actually gave the wrong answer.

CzarChasm posted:To anyone watching this movie, please note that there are two endings: The director's cut ending was creepy and disturbing in a way I really didn't see coming and I believe was taken out due to test audience feedback (This was also the ending I saw first). The theatrical ending, comparatively, is toothless and dull as dishwater and not really challenging on any level. Disturbing as I found it, the Director's cut ending is probably the better of the two. I tend to agree, but the prison stigmata bit was really annoying to me.

Rageaholic Monkey posted:The director's cut ending felt so much more true to the events of the story. The first time I saw the movie, I watched the theatrical edition. Near the end, I thought "Okay, they're really going to go completely loving bonkers with the ending, aren't they?", and they didn't. Then I saw the director's cut ending, and they totally did with that one. It was even more than I was hoping for. Also, it's revealed in a scene cut from the theatrical version that Ashton's mother had had numerous similar, unexplained miscarriages, implying that there's a repeating cycle of Ashton erasing his own existence. There was also a bit where he sees a palmist and is told he doesn't have a life line.

concept, but I'm really glad they went with that.
