Some of the worst horror movie endings leave an impression for all the wrong reasons. From I Am Legend to The Mist, Redditors didn't like these ones.
Movie finales usually make or break a film, and although some movies successfully manage to keep audiences intrigued throughout, a badly written ending can be a major turn-off for audiences — especially when the film is initially great. This is extra frustrating when we're talking horror movies that slowly build suspense until they reach the climax, which is usually towards the final chapter.
9 'Hell House LLC' With a few jumpscares and tense moments throughout, the chilling found-footage horror movie by Stephen Cognetti chronicles a documentary film crew's quest to find out what really happened five years after an unexplained malfunction caused the death of 15 people on the opening night of a Halloween haunted house tour.
Although the film features an interesting premise that will have audiences gripped, many seem to agree that its ending fell a bit short of expectations. According to inotherways, the movie's finale "kind of weakens the movie as a whole." Additionally, Deimosremus said that it "completely gets rid of any ambiguity that made it creepy."
6 'The Mist' Frank Darabont's The Mist is an entertaining horror centering on a father and son who head to town to get supplies after their house is damaged by a powerful storm. However, things go out of hand when a thick fog inhabited by deadly creatures engulfs and torments the town by trapping a few people in a grocery store.Surprisingly, while The Mist's unsettling ending is considered one of the best by some, others don't seem to share this opinion.
4 'The Devil Inside' Featuring one of the most unsatisfying and controversial endings in horror, The Devil Inside is an unremarkable found footage movie of the genre that tells the story of a woman on a quest to find out what happened to her mother, who allegedly murdered three people during her exorcism.
2 'The Open House' Even though The Open House has been a questionable horror since the beginning, Redditors could not help sharing how the film's ending ultimately lowered the bar even further. The unpopular Netflix original movie starring 13 Reasons Why's Dylan Minnette follows a teen boy and his mother who, after moving into a new house, are tormented by sinister forces.
