Whether the sinister final day (with a lorry leaving the village with the infected cargo) is better placed after the end credits with changed background music is purely a matter of taste. The rearranged and prolonged ending is striking as well. Besides a nice little shock effect (a short flashback of the infected guy in the wood after a calm camera pan), Roth missed in the Theatrical Version and mentioned in several interviews, can be seen again.

In contrast to several other genre movies the yound protagonists are not being killed by human enemies or crazy monsters but by a deathly virus they have to deal with in a remoted lodge.
