In the original ending, Evan travels back in time and commits suicide as an unborn baby in his mother's womb. That ending was used in the Director's Cut DVD. The film was given a different ending in the theatrical version, and the conclusion of the film was changed to Evan traveling back to the day he met Kayleigh as a child upsets her when he tells her that he hates her and her family and threatens to kill them all if she comes near him again. Evan did this because he felt the only way for him, his family, and close friends to be happy with their lives was to avoid interacting with Kayleigh or her troubled, protective brother Tommy. Doing this made it possible for Kayleigh and Tommy to live with their mother instead of staying with their father and being abused, which led to the original chain of events. As Kayleigh explains in an earlier scene, wanting to be near Evan was the reason she did not go to live with her mother.
