10 Blatantly Unfinished Movies (That Were Released Anyway)

10. Creature

Okay, so 2011’s Creature isn’t the most famous feature to make this list, but the monster movie needs to be included here more for its crimes against narrative than its relative fame. The flick follows a group of friends through the bayou as they’re pursued by the legendary Lockjaw, a cave-inhabiting alligator-man who haunts local myth and unfortunate passer-bys.

So far, so late-at-night SyFy Channel standard viewing, right?

Sure, and the film even managed to obtain a cameo from genre stalwart and long-time Rob Zombie muse Sid Haig. What Creature failed to conjure up, though, was an ending—or even a final act.

When the film hit cinemas in 2011, critics were quick to note that the climactic confrontation with the titular threat was missing from the final edit—most likely because it was never filmed, with the meagre budget failing to stretch to a full film and the filmmakers hoping audiences would be none the wiser.
