10 Unreleased Horror Movie Endings Fans Are Demanding To See

10. Susan Lives - Deep Blue Sea

It's relatively well known by this point that cult fave shark movie Deep Blue Sea had its ending changed shortly before release due to vocal reactions from test screenings.

In the original filmed ending, the character of Dr. Susan McCallister (Saffron Burrows) made it to the end in one piece, yet test audiences found her character so unlikeable as to write comments in the feedback form like, "Kill the b*tch!"

Test screenings made it clear that viewers saw McCallister as far more of an antagonistic character than the filmmakers originally intended, given her role in inadvertently causing the central genetically engineered shark catastrophe.

And so, director Renny Harlin conducted a one-day reshoot to have Susan instead be brutally devoured by the final shark in the movie's climax, leaving viewers satisfied that she got her "comeuppance" for trying to "play God."

Yet in recent years there's been growing desire among fans for Warner Bros. to release the original ending, with a petition even being circulated to that effect.

The petition staunchly defends Susan, declaring that had numerous deleted scenes relating to her character development been kept in the final cut, audiences wouldn't have been quite so eager to see her off.
