20 TERRIBLE Horror Movies With INSANE Endings
These woeful horror movies went totally off the rails at the end.
There are so many horror movies being released every single week that there are always going to be some sure duds among the bunch.
And it's fair to say that the vast majority of them simply end up being forgotten in mere days.
But sometimes an awful horror movie can serve up an ending so out-there, so unhinged, so defiantly WTF, that it ensures the film as a whole can't be banished from existence quite so easily.
And that's absolutely true of these 20 horror films, each of which went off the deep end in the final stretch for better or worse.
Perhaps they took a wild swing with a bonkers plot twist, subverted expectations in a way that alienated a large chunk of the audience, or just did something so bewildering and bizarre that it burrowed itself deep in the viewer's brain forever more.
Whether it elevated the film or made it even worse, these baffling endings at least got people talking and woke them up from the bored stupor the movie otherwise induced.
And so, no matter how bad a film might seem, there's always the possibility that it throws a wild curveball out in the final scene...
20. I Still Know What You Did Last Summer
I Still Know What You Did Last Summer is bad enough that it makes the mediocre-yet-iconic original seem genuinely great by comparison.
Living down to just about every expectation of a slasher sequel released barely a year after the first, this is largely a ridiculous-in-a-bad-way retread that brings virtually nothing fresh or interesting to the table.
But what about that final twist, huh?
In the climax, we learn that the killer Fisherman is being aided by Julie James' (Jennifer Love Hewitt) college friend Will Benson (Matthew Settle).
More to the point, there was a massive clue hidden in plain sight, given that "Will Benson" = "Will, Ben's Son," as in the son of Ben Willis (Muse Watson), the hook-wielding fisherman himself.
By any conventional metric it's a woeful twist, the sort that your six-year-old nephew might come up with while goofing around, yet it's so hilariously dumb that, in the very least, it ends the story on a charmingly campy note.
