Wtf ending? (Massive spoilers)

I completely agree with you.

I thought it was a very refreshing change from the majority of horror movies, and I really enjoyed the movie up until the first guy got killed in the alley, and then the movie quickly went downhill after that, to the disappointing ending.

I was really hoping that the movie would take a chance and have it end along the lines of, after they started covering the graves, that the costumed creeps then dig everyone out, showing that this was all just an extreme haunt experience - with nobody dying.

To me, not only would that ending have been uplifting (and I make no apologies for wishing to be uplifted), but it would have explained the motivations for the antagonists.

I am not squeamish when it comes to violence, it's just I feel what you don't see is more effective in instilling dread and tension than blood and gore. For example, I thought the most disturbing scene in the movie was when the women with the doll face walked into the RV, stared at them without making a sound, and then suddenly screaming - that scene definitely gave me the creeps.

I would have hated that ending because it's extremely dangerous and risky to put someone in a coffin and bury it deep in the ground. The coffin could cave in or someone could suffocate. If I was buried alive (honestly one of my greatest fears) and then dug out of the ground again and told "we got you!" I'd probably press charges or something. I mean, I love getting scared, and the more extreme the better, but if there's a chance I could possibly die from it, well it's not in good fun anymore.

Basically the people who run Blue Skeleton would look like complete idiots. The ending really could have been better. Everything up to that was solid though, really clever idea.

I felt the exact same way about the ending. Quite literally, everything you said was what I was hoping would happen too lol.

What was the point of burying them?

This was my one critique of it as well. The idea of getting buried alive IS terrifying, of course. But after the build up and the tone of the rest of the movie, I think all of us were expecting something far, far darker to happen. Honestly, I was a bit relieved to see that they just buried alive ... Scary, horrible, but all things considered, probably a pretty painless death. They would just eventually grow weak, perhaps panic some, run out of oxygen and pass out. It just seemed strange... they built Blue Skeleton up to be a haunted house that features real body parts and what not... Maybe they didn't want to do what the audience expected? I thought it was going to end with Brandy walking through and seeing the men being murdered in front of her or something like that. I was nervous Brandy would get gang raped also, so I'm sort of glad that didn't happen (despite how scary it would have been).

Like a lot of you, I also thought that them getting dug up and it all being a game would have made for a great ending. "The Game" with Michael Douglas is a movie that does this effectively, and it all turning out to actually be a game in the end doesn't make it any less of a fun ride. It would have been great to see the characters get exactly what they asked for.

Either way, I still rated it high because the overall movie was creative, creepy, different, and interesting. I would love to hear an explanation for why they ended it that way.

I think they left it open for part 2.

The thing is, if Blue Skeleton was supposed to be an extreme haunted house type experience, that people had visited before then lived to tell the tale so others would go seek it out, then they shouldn't have actually died at the end. If you kill your customers then there's no word of mouth or repeat business, just an eventual raid by the FBI (because they're looking for the bodies you buried and is likely the rental company put a tracker on their RV) & everyone goes to death row. This ending made no sense.

Totally agree. The ending was not scary and fell flat.

The movie until the end was great. The end destroyed it. So lame.
