3. The Ridiculous Sequel-Bait Ending - Truth Or Dare

While it's not remotely surprising that the year's worst major horror movie ends on a lazy sequel-baiting cliffhanger, the circumstances through which it occurs are both hilarious and insane.

Truth or Dare ends with protagonist Olivia (Lucy Hale) learning that there's no way for her to escape the game, and the only way to make her life more bearable is to invite more people into the game instead.

Cue Olivia making a video about her paranormal experiences which goes viral, and of course, the video ends with her asking the audience, "truth or dare?", effectively "infecting" all the millions of people who watched the video. The final shot is a glimpse of one poor viewer's face as it transforms into that goofy, Aphex Twin-esque grin.

It's probably one of the least-heroic things a horror protagonist has done in quite some time, but the idea of a worldwide game does at least open up the possibilities for an even wilder - and likely even dumber - sequel.
