No, Im NOT an idiot, the ending was just ridiculous.


Im sorry, but that ending would have made sense had there been ANY foreshadowing of it at all. She spends the movie running from the whispers and then discovers the nature of it all and tries to kill herself to stop that from coming to fruition and then BAM! Apropos of nothing she accepts it? What? Why? What catalyst was there? She realizes she can't change it so she GLADLY (no begrudgingly) accepts it? Most people just get angry and try to kill the people that put them in the situation. The fact that she COULD be saved (as pointed out by others in the movie) means that Molly was Molly and not an unknowing 'demon' in Molly's body. So there's no way to say that she suddenly realized her true place. The whole movie relied on jump scares and not actual tension for the character and the ending was tacked on to make it all seem clever and twisty. It's just a lazy movie with an ending that doesn't fit at all.

this movie's ending sucked so bad. the writers were lazy, a lot of things were left unexplained.

The ending didn't fit the movie at all. I thought we were supposed to fear these ppl yet, at the end, its like "Oh, no, I was wrong and life as a Satanist is great." School ends and everyone except Dad lives happily ever after. Also did anyone remember to drag Bible Thumping Girl out of the church pool?

Molly didn't accept anything.
She just waited too long to try to commit suicide.

The film states that after she turns 18, she will 'be gone'. She will live solely in service of Evil.
And that is exactly what happens: Molly doesn't accept Evil. She is possessed by it on her birthday at 18.
