spoilered the ending
Changed line(s) 7 (click to see context) from:
* TheyChangedItNowItSucks: There's some distinction that the change to the ending causes this. In the short story, Quaid, when confronted with his dread, succumbs and dies. In the film, he overcomes it and is basically on his way to becoming a Scarecrow-like villain. One could mourn the poetic ending, while others feel it created an awesome new horror character for movie sequels.
