10 Movie Endings The Audience Guessed Immediately

4. Halloween (2018)

Last year's sequel to the 1978 Halloween sensibly decided to throw the increasingly terrible sequels in the bin in order to rid itself of their considerable baggage.

And the result was unquestionably the best film in the series since the '78 original, even if it certainly fell back on old cliches when it came to that ending.

After Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis) lures Michael Myers into the basement trap in her home, she sets the house alight and appears to barbecue her decades-long nemesis to ash.

At this point, viewers are either wondering whether this might be the concrete end for the Halloween series, or far more likely, waiting to see how the film will ass-pull a way for Michael to escape, this being a Halloween movie and all.

And as predictably as the sun rising tomorrow, a closing shot shows the burning basement empty, implying Michael somehow found a way to slip out of the house and continue his rampage for the upcoming sequels, Halloween Kills and Halloween Ends.

Given that Danny McBride and David Gordon Green freely talked up the prospect of prequels before the film even came out, and how movie studios won't let a good cash cow die, was there ever any doubt how this thing would turn out? At least Laurie didn't die...
