10 Most Infuriating Movie Cliffhangers

5. He's Not Really Dead - Every Horror Movie Ever Made (Almost)

These sorts of cliffhangers are infuriating because they're so damn predictable and lazy. Pretty much every horror film - especially if it's a sequel - will pose some sort of tease like this in its final shot; the murderer will be "killed", the good guys will get taken away in an ambulance, then we cut back to the killer and...they're gone. Or better yet, their eyes open, or they kill another person and disappear into the night.

The Halloween films were especially bad for this, and it quickly got to the point where filmmakers were just insulting their audience, already planning the next sequel before the first one has had time to percolate. After all, isn't it a lot less exciting watching these films if the studio heads have already ruined the ending by letting us know that Michael Myers, Freddy Kreuger or Jason Voorhees are going to be back for Round 26?
