15 Good Horror Films That Totally Lost It By The End
14. Final Destination 2
The Film:
The second installment in the underrated Final Destination series is a huge amount of guilty pleasure fun. After some people avoid a horrific road pile-up, death comes after them and kills them in a series of gruesome, ingenious and occasionally hilarious freak accidents.
The acting and dialogue are awful, but the direction, gore and thrills will keep you on the edge of your seat throughout. It's also got cinema's best ever car crash scene.
The Ending:
Much like the first film, this doesn't end in a massively satisfying way. Nonetheless, the first film's ending was more illogical than underwhelming, and the Paris scene was pretty cool. On the other hand, this one's ending feels less satisfactory.
The ending generally lacks suspense; while the first film ended with a (sort-of) chase finale, this just ends with the protagonist drowning herself and then being revived... that's it. Then there's an unnecessary final scene where some random character who appeared for one scene earlier on is suddenly killed by an exploding barbecue. As for the final 2 survivors, if you want to discover their fate you have to go onto the special features of the third film.
Worst of all, killing off Clear Rivers was a huge mistake. They already made the mistake of killing off the first film's protagonist in-between films and getting rid of one of the franchise's more interesting characters was a misstep for sure.
