10 Horror Movie Endings That Pissed Everyone Off

10. The Lame Killer Reveal - Spiral: From The Book Of Saw

While critics hated Spiral: From the Book of Saw, it actually went down pretty well with audiences. However one thing we can all agree was totally lame was the reveal of the new Jigsaw successor.

Saw movies are made or broken on their big third-act twists, and the issue with Spiral is that it's the most obvious one in the entire franchise. This spin-off focuses on Chris Rock's grizzled detective Zeke hunting down a Jigsaw imitator with the help of his new rookie partner, William Shenk.

As it becomes clear the killer is targeting cops, a whole bunch of people in Zeke's department turn up as corpses, including Shenk. The thing is though, Shenk is the only one killed in a trap off screen, making it immediately obvious that he'll reappear as the culprit behind the whole thing. Surprise, surprise, scored to the iconic Saw theme, this is exactly what happens.

It's such a frustrating ending because the reveal is so blatant that you almost expect it to be a red herring to throw fans off the real twist to come. Alas, that was just wishful thinking. Everyone saw this coming, and no matter how hard the music made you think you were watching something epic, it was a total letdown.
