# An alternate ending in which the final shot in the theatrical ending was more of a subtle insinuation than a graphic display of what happened.
Could somebody please rewrite this line? Is the extended ending more or less explicit than the original theatrical release ending? I'd do it myself, but I don't know which one showed more. GutterMonkey 06:23, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
This article is too short and has several important sections that remain underdeveloped. The production section is way too short, consisting of a single sentence and should be expanded in more detail. The Reception section is also too short and needs more reviews from notable critics added to it. The home media section is improperly developed and should be rewritten, this section is also unsourced and should be given citations for its information. All of these changes and additions need to occur in order for this article to meet Wikipiedia's guidelines and standards of a good article.-- Paleface Jack ( talk) 18:33, 20 December 2016 (UTC)

This article is incomplete and has several sections that need to be expanded in more detail than what they currently are. The production section is too short and needs to be expanded in far more detail with information on the film's development, casting, filming, and design added to the article with appropriate citations given for its information. The reception section is also too short and needs more reviews from notable critics added to it as well (with the appropriate citations). There is also no information on the film's home media releases which needs to be added to the article as well. This article could be GA Status worthy if enough attention was given to it and all the things listed above done so that it meets Wikipiedia's guidelines and standards of a well developed and Properly sourced article.-- Paleface Jack ( talk) 15:23, 27 April 2017 (UTC)
Some Dude From North Carolina Great work with the article. You really did some great research. Keep up the good work.-- Paleface Jack ( talk) 20:12, 9 January 2021 (UTC)
Does anyone have any information why Germany is featured everywhere as a country of production alongside USA? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.30.234.170 ( talk) 02:35, 15 December 2018 (UTC)
I've removed the mystery genre on the lead intro. Although it was sourced, it was sourced to a Box office status report. It's not clear if the film was watched or how genre was intepreted here, so you can find several more specific sources within. Also, throughout the article the film is referred to a horror film predominantly, so we should have the lead of the article reflect what is in the prose as that's standard wikipedia stuff. I'm open to more thoughts on this. Andrzejbanas ( talk) 19:26, 9 January 2021 (UTC)
You could also probably drop the extraneous genre of "monster movie" to the lead as it's already clear in the very next sentence that the film is a monster movie with it mention of a "demonic creature" as "It stars Gina Philips and Justin Long as a pair of siblings who are pursued by a demonic creature and mysterious serial killer known as the Creeper portrayed by Jonathan Breck. " Andrzejbanas ( talk) 19:33, 9 January 2021 (UTC)
So going through a list here:
And that's just sources in the article itself. None of them mention mystery (outside a header bar, in the NYT article). I would be misleading to describe it belonging to mystery as the articles sources itself focus far more primarily on horror per WP:BALANCE, it would be misleading and dishonest to readers. Andrzejbanas ( talk) 21:25, 9 January 2021 (UTC)
AllMovie calls it "Genres - Horror|Sub-Genres - Creature Film, Teen Movie" [6]. I consider them one of the best sources we have for film genre classification, so if they don't even mention Mystery as a subgenre, I don't feel we should either. DonIago ( talk) 23:44, 9 January 2021 (UTC)
As there appears to be an overwhelming push for just leaving it as horror, i'll be changing the genre now. Thanks to everyone for discussing it. Andrzejbanas ( talk) 16:36, 18 January 2021 (UTC)
