- Audience-Alienating Ending: Lots of reviews cite the ending as the film's ultimate downfall, with many recommending others not to waste their time because it's very abrupt, confusing and unsatisfactory (given the film's lackluster box office returns, it would seem audiences took this advice). It was trying for an Ambiguous Ending in the same vein as the original novella, leaving it open-ended as to whether there were really ghosts or the protagonist was just mentally ill, but it ends up feeling vague and unfinished more than anything, including the entire climax being a hallucination. It should also be noted that the above is actually a Revised Ending. The original ending, featured on the DVD/BluRay, has much less ambiguity and doesn't feature the All Just a Dream suggestions of the theatrical ending.
- Narm: Kate being attacked by the disembodied hand looks more like Thing is trying to tickle her.
