20 TERRIBLE Horror Movies With INSANE Endings

17. The Devil Inside

Truth or Dare Ending
Paramount Pictures

Were it not for its totally mind-boggling ending, The Devil Inside would've been swiftly ignored as the snoozily generic found footage exorcist flick it otherwise was.

But in 2025 it's still somewhat remembered for a final scene - or rather, non-scene - that left millions angrily leaving the cinema back in 2012.

At the end of the movie, the central characters are killed in a car accident, while the possessed Isabella (Fernanda Andrade) flees into the night to parts unknown.

A title card is then displayed which states that the case is still unsolved, before players are pointed to a website, TheRossiFiles.com, for more information on the current investigation.

To end the film so abruptly and then direct the audience to a website was an infuriatingly cheeky move, made all the worse given that Paramount only hosted TheRossiFiles.com for a few years, meaning the website now leads to nothing.

That such a craven anti-ending was ever rubber-stamped by a major movie studio is astounding, honestly.
