I think the ending of the movie is much darker than the ending of my book.

I am agnostic…it clearly comes from a different cultural background than mine, but also from a different cultural background.” religious experience. So I’m still struggling with the two different endings.”
After seeing the movie twice, Tremblay admitted he’s still trying to process the experience, recalling, “I’ve been thinking about it and answering more questions about it. Like I said, I love the movie. I prefer my ending. I hope so! Even if you’ve read the script, it’s very different to see it on screen. It was a lot to digest. A fun experience, of course, but still very, very strange. ”
