One of the more controversial elements of the film is its ending. Joel Delaney (King) has tracked Norah Benson (MacLaine) and her two children to their beach house, and holds them at knifepoint. He puts on music and orders them all to dance. Then, noticing that Benson's son Peter (David Elliott) has broken a sweat from the dancing, he orders the boy to strip. Peter does so. The next several shots show a thirteen year old boy dancing and walking about the room naked, including a frontal shot. In the March 5, 2004 issue of ''Entertainment Weekly,'' Stephen King wrote about the film and that particular scene, claiming that today it would earn the film an NC-17 rating. EXTERNAL LINKS |
