10 Horror Movie Twists That Made No Sense

10. Drag Me To Hell

This one stings, because a sudden slap in the face bit of cruelty is as classic a horror movie ending as the supposedly dead killer opening his eyes to prove he’s not quite vanquished and provide one more scare. The ending of Sam Raimi’s darkly funny 2009 return to the familiar terrain of horror comedy could have been brilliant, as it befits the rollercoaster tonal wavering of the preceding flick.

Besides, the movie came out a year after the financial crisis—who didn’t want to see a young banker dragged down to the depths of hell and torn to pieces by fiery demons for repossessing a little old lady’s house?

The problem is, it doesn’t make sense within the film’s own established rules. Just how did Christy miss that the envelope she crammed into poor old Ms. Ganush’s final resting face wasn’t the right one? Why did her boyfriend keep such a rare and supposedly interesting coin in an unmarked envelope rather than labelling it?

It seems that the work of digging up a grave in the pouring rain, then prying open a coffin and a dead body’s jaw were easy compared to keeping track of the cursed item upon which Christy’s immortal soul relied.

Maybe she deserved to be dragged down for sheer incompetence, come to think of it.
