It would have used a familiar horror trope but in the worst way.
The Big Picture Watching an alternate ending to a movie is like taking a peek at a parallel dimension, looking at the different directions, whether vast or small, the plot of a movie could go. Most importantly, it shows the audience how important the right ending is to a movie. While fittingly absurdist and juvenile, a pie fight at the end of Dr. Strangelove doesn't quite hit the same as the bombs dropping.
This brings us to the 2011 film You're Next, a cult classic of early 2010s horror, a sleeper hit of the decade, and on the high tier of home invasion movies. What starts as a formal reunion for a rather dysfunctional family becomes a life-or-death situation as masked killers break in, riddle the house with traps and phone jammers, and start to kill off the household one by one.
Like many great horror films, the alternate ending is much darker. A police officer still arrives, but instead of his sudden death by a trap we witnessed Erin set up earlier, he instead shoots Erin in the head and kills her. Brutal. Unlike many other alternate endings, you can't see this one as a deleted scene on the DVD, in fact, the only proof that it exists at all is a photo of Erin with a bullet through her head and a couple of archived tweets by the creators confirming its existence.
