15 Good Horror Films That Totally Lost It By The End
5. A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night
The Film:
Dubbed the 'First Iranian vampire western', this Persian-language American horror film is more of a mood piece than a story, and focuses on a female vampire in a ghost town. It's a very interesting film and is well worth a look.
The Ending:
This is pretty mad for most of the running time, but the film just ends out of nowhere and feels sort of plotless at the end. It's still an awesome experience, but the ending is very underwhelming.
The film just ends with the unnamed vampire leaving town with her love interest when she had just killed his father. Despite realizing she had something to do with the death of her father, he stays with her. In fairness, this is not a film which much of a narrative anyway, but it kind of ends without having a real point.
You'll most likely love most of the film before being a bit disappointed by the ending, which makes you wonder what the point of all the preceding events was. That is something an ending absolutely mustn't do, so it definitely wasn't the right way to conclude a film already largely lacking in story.
There should have been some sort of hook at the end. This is still an excellent film, but this weak conclusion is probably why the film has an unfairly low IMDb score of just 7.0.
