10 Horror Movie Idiots Who Made Simple Solutions Look IMPOSSIBLE

10. Finishing Michael Off - Halloween Kills

The ending to Halloween Kills is absolutely infuriating. Despite the movie generally being a hilariously clumsy commentary on the perils of mob mentality, the finale at least seems like it's going to have Haddonfield's lynch mob finally put the brutal boots to Michael Myers (James Jude Courtney).

And to be fair to the gang, they do manage to beat the crap out of Michael, but their big mistake? Not finishing the job right away.

Instead, they stand around for a hot minute while Michael is incapacitated, giving him time to recuperate and - shocker - fight back. Michael starts slaughtering the mob's numbers, and rather than collectively retaliate, they just stand around in turn waiting to be brutalised.

More to the point, didn't some of these people have guns? Why weren't they unloading entire clips into Michael's head when he was down?

Halloween Ends confirmed beyond all doubt that Michael could indeed be killed by conventional weapons, so the mob could've wrapped the whole thing up here if they used even the faintest shred of common sense.
