10 Incredible Endings To Otherwise Terrible Horror Movies

Often lumped in with the Splat Pack efforts from the same era such as Cabin Fever director Eli Roth's Hostel and Pirahna 3D helmer Alexandre Aja's Hills Have Eyes remake, director Dave Payne’s passable but thinly plotted 2005 desert-set horror Reeker is less intensely gory than most of its contemporaries but it's largely a pretty predictable slice of teen-aimed suspense nonetheless.

Following a group of ravers on the way to a party whose car breaks down in the desert, the flick sees them plagued by the eponymous monster, a ghoul whose presence is indicated by, well, a nasty smell.

It's all pretty average as far as 2000s horror goes, until the barnstorming last moment reveal that our cast are all actually dead since the first reel and the titular monster is simply an externalisation of their inability to pass on into the next life. Trippy.
