20 Worst Endings In Recent Horror Movies

Kyle Mooney's post-apocalyptic horror film Y2K wasn't great, but it did at least offer some nostalgic fun for those who grew up in the early 2000s, as technology starts murderously rising up against humanity at the turn of the millennium.

Protagonists Eli (Jaeden Martell) and Laura (Rachel Zegler) manage to survive the night after defeating the algorithm known as the Amalgamation, and then confess their feelings for one another.

This feels like the natural end of the story, but the film continues for a five-years-later epilogue, where Eli and Laura visit the graves of their friends who didn't make it, and their friend Ash's (Lachlan Watson) iPod begins glitching out, revealing that - shocker! - the algorithm isn't quite dead yet.

Though the horror tradition dictates that movies "need" to leave the door ajar for a follow-up, this was about as lazy and half-assed as sequel-baiting endings come. 

That the film came and went without doing much business at all just makes the sequel tease seem that much more hilariously optimistic. Hollywood, you need to hear this - it's OK for movies to be one-offs.
