10 Horror Movies Which Refused To Give Fans What They Came For
1. David Is The Last Superhuman Standing - Glass
After M. Night Shyamalan's Split ended with the genuinely shocking twist that it was a secret sequel to his 2000 film Unbreakable, the stage was seemingly set for a third film which persuasively tied everything together.
The marketing did a fine enough job of hyping up an epic finale in which superhuman vigilante David Dunn (Bruce Willis) would take on both Mr. Glass (Samuel L. Jackson) and The Horde (James McAvoy), yet the outcome wasn't really what anyone expected - or wanted.
Shyamalan, seemingly on purpose, delivered an anti-superhero movie. The big battle between Dunn and The Horde is a clumsy fight in the drabbest of locations - a parking lot - and worse still, the movie ends with all three superpowered characters dead and gone.
Though it was expected that Mr. Glass and The Horde would probably die, fans were left totally bemused that Dunn died such a bafflingly anti-climactic, unceremonious death: being drowned in a puddle by an anonymous goon.
Even accepting Dunn's noted fear of water, it was a pathetic, depressing ending for the film's overarching hero, ensuring that most everyone was left feeling deflated and unsatisfied.
