Such a good movie with a terrible DEUS EX MACHINA end! (spoilers)


What the hell with those people exploding???
I wanted to see her killing every one of the members of the family!
No! Just no!

There was a curse on them, and they had to kill the main character to carry on living, and they failed.

Agree. Those body explosions are bloody ridiculous, undermining any seriousness remain in the movie.
Maybe it would be a better story with a different rule, suppose there is a way around all this: Getting a divorce. As so, it all begins with a flashback about the groom was caught and taken to a ritual but they sacrificed only the goat... (Now) After the bride pulls out the hide-and-seek card, the family tells her that they must all play the game and if she loses she will get a divorce. During the game, the gold digger starts killing the family members whoever finds her, first by accident but then she seems to be possessed... by the end, she sits alone at the gaming table, all covered in blood and trembling. After a while, when the sun starts shining on her back, she takes off the ring and lits a cigarette to calm herself down. Through the smoke, the ghost appears on the other side of the table and nods to the new winner.
Yes?

Undermining any seriousness? It's not a film to be taken seriously.

This is a black comedy. It's OK if you can't find anything serious in this fictional story. Although in reality, there is no lack of superstitious wealthy families who can get away with horrible crimes.
While watching the film, I wanted to find out how the Le Domas family plan to get away with murder. The wedding scene shows that Grace has no family or relatives. If she disappears, no one will bother to look for her. I guess Alex had that in mind since the very beginning of their relationship.

I didn't find anything serious in the film. Real world logic doesn't fit with films like this, it's just a bit of fun.

So did I. But what ended up happening to them was arguably even better. Bloody priceless! ;) It brought great delight to Grace, and that’s all that matters lol. While it might’ve been ridiculous, the point is the curse was very much real. Perhaps it was too much for some viewers to handle/accept, although I personally never doubted that the curse was real. So, I cannot say that I was disappointed with the film taking a supernatural turn in the slightest.

Seeing the family members explode is startling, sure, but in my mind it wasn’t the craziest thing ever given that the overall movie is quite over-the-top. As is, killer ending. Yes! Just yes! :)

I think the problem with the ending is it shows that they were justified in trying to kill her and keeping up their stupid ritual. I think it also explains why they turned Alex bad even though it made no sense. It would have been much worse to see him explode if he was still the good guy.

"Justified?"

I really hope English is your second language, and you're simply misusing that word. . .

I liked the ending though Grace is going to be screwed up for the rest of her life even if she ends up rich with her former husband's money. Actually, she'll be very rich for the rest of her life. That sort of is a happy ending.
