What's it about? After having sex with her date near an abandoned building, Jay (Maika Monroe) is tied to a wheelchair and shown a strange person insistently walking towards her, whom her date tells her is an otherworldly entity which will kill her if she lets it get near her. Only by sleeping with someone else can she pass on the curse. How does it end? With the help of her friends, Jay waits for the entity to find her in the school swimming pool where they plan on luring it into the water and electrocuting it with household appliances. Instead, Jay's friend shoots the entity in the head as it tries to drown her in the water. Why was it controversial? Having behaved relatively rationally throughout the movie, the plan to electrocute the entity in the water - with no evidence to suggest that this could work - was considered by some viewers to be out of keeping with the decisions they'd made up to that point. Director David Robert Mitchell defended the ending, saying, "Its a kid-movie plan, its something that Scooby-Doo and the gang might think of, and that was sort of the point ... instead, they do their best to accomplish something, and we witness its failure." Could that mean a sequel is on the way?
