15 Good Horror Films That Totally Lost It By The End

The Film:

Another film in the vein of The Hunger Games and Battle Royale, this featured 80 Americans trapped in an office building being forced to kill each other. It was overlooked on release, but the sadistic violence, darkly ironical soundtrack and nasty intensity give it cult classic potential.

The Ending:

People were sort of agreed on this one; the film lost its initial cleverness once the carnage kicked in at the hour mark. Individually, the kill scenes will please people. As people have their faces reduced to pulp with a tape dispenser, people have their heads opened and blood fills the screen, it will get gore lovers excited.

Also, some of this takes place with a Latin version of California Dreamin' playing ironically in the background, which was very effective. However, put all of those ridiculously violent deaths together in half an hour and instead the effect is one of exhaustion and monotony.

As well as being exhausting, this final part of the film displays the flaws already lingering beneath the surface throughout. There's not enough humor, a somewhat mean-spirited tone and the lack of psychological exploration both The Hunger Games and Battle Royale offered in spades.

The film remains a fun 3-star movie, but if it had been a little more restrained and felt a little less rushed towards the end, it would've stayed at the 4-star level it was previously riding on.
