Good movie ruined by a bad ending *spoilers*


The fake out of the sister and mom getting killed but then surviving started the downward trajectory.

This girl just killed an entire precinct of cops. What do you think happened after the credits rolled?

Why take the safe route? She should have defeated the monster by blowing her brains out at the end.

OR while she has her moment of peace hugging her sister, she gets blown away by the cop that took the dagger into the shoulder.

It’s a horror movie- it’s not supposed to have a sweet redeeming ending!

The fake out was a natural progression of the plot.

Madison's taking control of her own mind. But you're right, a suicide act could have been fitting too.

And yeah, she's in jail now. Lmao

They're probably leaving the door open for a potential sequel. But considering how mixed the reviews are who knows if that will ever happen.

You 100% spot on!! She definitely shouldn’t have survived, even if she did gain control of Gabriel, the ending shouldn’t have been sweet.

Agreed, not a fan of fake outs and there were just too many survivors.

3 final girls
Madison's birth mother
Both cops
The annoying broad hiding in the precinct

Just about everyone. Tame ending and not really fitting of the tone.
