10 Horror Movies That Almost Had Way Better Endings

9. Gordo Doesn't Actually Rape Robyn - The Gift

The actual ending to Joel Edgerton's surprisingly great horror/thriller movie The Gift was met with something of a controversial response. While some people loved it, others deemed it to be a bit ridiculous and ultimately farfetched.

Basically, the film ended with Gordo presenting his friend Simon (who ruined his life by telling everyone that Gordo was gay when they were kids) with a video recording showing Gordo standing over Simon's wife whilst she's passed out. The implication made by this is that Gordo raped Simon's wife and that he's the real father to their baby. Shock! Horror!

The alternate ending, however, feels more appropriate to the film: instead of the near implausible nature of the ending that Edgerton actually opted for, the alternate ending has Gordo looming over Simon's wife but clearly not raping her.

The writer/director apparently decided against this as he thought it to be too "cut and dry," but it actually offers up a more complex ending than the one in the film as Gordo is made into a more enigmatic guy.
