10 Horror Movie Sequels That Should Have Ended Their Series

This one should come as no surprise to anyone that's seen it because simply put, everyone died at the end.

No stone was left unturned and nobody got out alive, it was a big bloody send-off to one of horror's hottest properties. Fans were happy, critics were relieved and all was well with the world.

But they couldn't just leave it alone, could they?

Once Saw 3 struck gold at the box-office, a sequel was immediately pushed forward and from there, the franchise fell into its own trappings. Offering fans an increasingly convoluted narrative that emphasised inventive trap sequences over telling a compelling story that had both philosophical and moral implications - or as deep as those themes can go in a film about people cutting off their own limbs.

From Saw 4 onwards, the series floundered in its own mess and despite strong gains at the box-office, enthusiasm for the series very quickly waned and people began to care less and less. If the series did end with Saw 3, people would no doubt look back fondly on the trilogy for telling a complete story that was uncompromising in its shockingly vulgar intentions.
