Brigitte deserved a better ending. *Spoilers*


I used to totally dig the weirdness of this sequel's ending… But that was ten years ago.

After rewatching the first two movies today, I realized… Brigitte was too good a character for the *beep* ending they gave to her. I'm not saying I expected a happy ending. I didn't… But I deserved something better than her being kept captive in a basement by a psychotic child.

This is gonna *beep* do for him what "Jade" did for David Caruso.

I know what you mean. However, I thought it was worse that they doomed Brigitte from the very beginning. That makes everything else into a distraction.

The only interesting place to go if Brigitte is terminal, is to have her do something heroic and meaningful for somebody else before she changes. I mean, somebody less a waste than a murderous psycho child.

I've read this from a lot of people, but to be fair how do you know that's even the ending and not just Ghost's dream? The whole scene has a dreamlike quality about it, and it wouldn't make any sense if it were the actual fate of Bridget and Ghost. For starters, Ghost is an escaped mental patient and the first place they'd look to find her would be her old house. Once searching it, they'd inevitably find the werewolf and the place would be crawling with cops, if it wasn't already. Especially after not one, not two, but five people are missing with one body still at the institute. Even assuming the first couple of cops on call are killed by the creature, it would then escape and either kill Ghost or flee the scene, leaving her alone.

Given the myriad of logical inconsistencies with the ending, it's more likely to me that it was simply a fantasy rather than what actually occurred - now you can make the argument that in fact this makes the ending even worse, because nothing is resolved and they cop out big time, but at least it's not Bridget's true fate.

but that's what makes it so delicious- in choosing to remain innocent, a virgin, sinless and not a murderer, she ended up damning herself...it's like what we all eventually learn as we become grownups, yes you have a duty to your society, to be ''good'', but there comes a point where you have to make a choice- the socially acceptable right thing or your own damn self interest. Nobody gets to leave this world as pure as when we enter it; life itself is corrupting. I freakin loved this movie, it was so clever..surprisingly clever cos usually sequels suck

''Nobody gets to leave this world as pure as when we enter it; life itself is corrupting''



..which then again leads us back to Ginger, and how she always taunted Brigitte for being a scaredycat, too afraid of boys, of sex, of life. It's like Ginger says, only two choices ''give in or give up '' (lol, where i come from we say ''go hard or go home''. The problem was Ginger went too hard and Brigette wanted some kind of compromise, some kinda middle of the road, sitting on the fence fantasy where she gets to keep her life AND her soul...did I say I loved this movie???

The ending to this film was total garbage, Ghost was a perfect example of "the idiot plot" i seriously hate this film after finishing it last night, i loved the first movie it made me really care for the two female leads and this film dumped all over it.

Whats even more annoying is that there is a good movie in there , all they had to do was make it about Brigitte being stalked by the werewolf ending up in the mental institution and escaping , they should have made the secondary character Ginger who would appear consistently throughout the film as she did in Brigitte's mind, the ending should have been Brigitte both facing up to the demons of her past in both a literal and figurative way.

That's the movie that character deserved even typing it i don't see how anyone would think that that pile of crap was a better idea, the makings for a good movie are right there at the beginning.
