Worst Horror Ending

[sabersword]

Oh, my bad, worse ending to a horror film. That was what we were talking about right? Got sidetracked. Nope, liked them all.

Like I said I'll watch it again but I would have rather seen something off the wall. It would have been cool if they just lost it and burned down the house and something came running out screaming but you couldn't make out what or who it was because it was engulfed in flames. Wouldn't have shown the witch at all but I didn't like the movie so the whole thing would've been different.

But there you have it: closure.

Why closure?

You might think a mysterious burning person/thing would still mess with people's heads later on, at night, when they're trying to forget about the film... but such a part-revelation wouldn't trouble anyone familiar with the endings of The Car and suchlike (i.e. the "witch" is either a person/creature or supernatural force, which we've kind of narrowed it down to already).

That is the manipulative skill involved in the ending (indeed the whole film) of The Blair Witch Project - the creators show you little, and tell you just as much, but the consideration that has been put into the execution of those final scenes leaves us gagging for answers and pondering over what the truth could possibly be... whether we like it or not.

Note must also be made of the extraordinary sound design here - do you hear those ominous "screams/screeches" as Heather is nervously moving downstairs? What are they? They don't sound like they are coming from her... This ambiguity increases the nagging uncertainty we are left with long after the end credits roll.

I did'nt like the end to the new dawn of the dead because after the credits it showed how they all died and that kind of ruined it.

I already said it'd be a different film all together and the film wasn't manipulative to me, it was boring. I sat in the theatre the whole time checking my watch and I'm sure a few heavy sighs were involved. I didn't like the movie and I didn't like the ending. It's my opinion, no need to argue with me about it because your little insights are all things I've heard before I'm sure. I know lots of people who like this film and that's great, I'm glad they enjoy it; I don't. (On another note the sound was very good and the marketing unparalleled.)

Can we include endings that we liked but were so sad we "hated" them? Grave of the Fireflies had an incredibly heart wrenching ending, it has to be one of the bleakest movies out there but I loved it.

Why not? I'm not trying to call you out or anything, but I'm curious, as I thought it was a fantastic ending.

the final fight was lame, and kakihara died.

I didn't hate it but man I was expecting a helluva fight and it didn't really pan out.

Haute Tension's Ending Ruined The Film!

Should have stopped 15 min before the actual ending.
