I heard yesterday that DeNiro walked out of the world premiere of this held a couple weeks back.

Rented and watched this yeasterday.

I enjoyed it, but knew the twist due to having seen the above mentioned tv spot that gave it away.

But it was still creepy throughout and the acting was pretty good. I might pick up the DVD when it's under $20 bucks. Decent disk with four alternate endings (just different last scenes) and 14 other deleted scenes.

Can anyone who has seen the alternate endings please describe them? I saw the movie in the theater and didn't like it, but I'm still curious to see the different endings. I don't want to rent it just to see 5 minutes worth of footage though.
Thanks

Just watched this and wow, what a piece of rubbish! There was direct dialogue and imagery that telegraphed the ending. If it wasn't for the cast, this could've been sent direct-to-video, which is where DeNiro seems to be aiming for these days.

I watched it last night and the four endings are all pretty similar with minute differences (so small I can't remember two of them). Here are the two I remember:

Spoiler:

a) The exact same ending as the theatrical except when you get the final pan over Dakota's drawing you see a single head over the kid instead of two. That was called "Happy Ending" on the menu.

b) Instead of Famke rushing Dakota out to school, you get a shot of her tucking Dakota into bed. She gets up to leave, begins closing the door and Dakota asks her to leave it open. Famke says "you know I can't do that". As she closes the door you see it's one of those institutional doors with the little reinforced window on it. Famke walks down the psych hospital hallway talking to another doctor saying "I'll check back with her next week" or something along those lines. Switch to inside the room, Dakota does the hide & seek count-to-ten thing, gets up opens the closet and we see her blankly looking at herself in a mirror, then fade to credits.

The other two endings were similar to the second one with Famke saying something else to the doctor, like "I'll keep coming back everyday till she's better" and I don't think it cut back to Dakota going to the closet. This is the ending I preferred.
