I expect more from Roman Polanski. This movie was outstanding all the way through until the last 30 seconds when it stumbled over the edge of the cliff. The ending has to be one of the weakest endings I have ever seen in a movie of this genre, rivalling that of Lost Souls. If you can force yourself to stop watching right when you see the last engraving in the book, you will miss nothing.
