Anticlimactic~~~ A bad ending driven by commercial interests

The 1998 film, I didn't watch it until ten years later. In general, the rhythm is quite tight. Basically, it grabbed my heart for 120 minutes. After watching it, I understood the meaning of the film's title fall.
The director's idea is really good, narrating from the perspective of an evil spirit, and finally gave me a surprise. It's a pity that a bad ending reduced a film that should have exceeded 7 points to a just passing score.
I guessed that in the end, the director and Hobbes' partner Jonesy came together, and Jonesy must be possessed by an evil spirit; but I really didn't guess that the evil spirit could even fall through a wild cat. Of course, the movie also pretended to show multiple shots of street cats in front of the movie, which seemed to remind the audience to pay attention, and also seemed to lay a foreshadowing. But such a far-fetched foreshadowing is too far from the foreshadowing in "The Very Suspects" shot by Bryan Singer in 1995
. , then I don't believe that there is not a mouse, cockroach, or even bacteria, flowers, plants, etc. within half a mile; after all, if people can share a soul with cats, the difference between cats and mice and cockroaches is no more than that between cats and people. huge difference.
If it's not a flaw in the script itself, it's a Hollywood director playing with our emotions in order to think about a sequel.
In general, it's anticlimactic, no wonder the imdb score is only 6.5~~~~

    In fact, like "Hidden Killer" and other parasitic movies, the way it spreads among the crowd is quite bluff, and when the middle cat is on the upper body, he guessed the solution to the end.

    A suspenseful movie with advanced concepts and settings. Started slowly with criminal investigation and crime movies, combined with supernatural and supernatural, returned to crime movies in the middle, and then added religious elements, ending suspense, crime, spirituality, religion, and black humor to a climax! The violent ending is the same as the master key. For the first time, I saw a movie that seamlessly blended suspense, criminal investigation, crime, spirituality, religion, and black humor. It was a movie shot in 1997 and released in 1998. After that, many Copycats appeared. ?
