Wow that ending...


... was abrupt.

It's like the writers just said "fuckit. My pen is out of ink, script done." No last jump scare or anything.

Yes it was. I enjoyed the characters but I didn't really want a family reunion or a hospital visit. It just ended.

As JJ would say, Dynomite.

Agreed, I was actually shocked when the credits started rolling. Maybe that in itself was the jump scare? Ha

Maybe, I just watched it again last week and am still struggling to see why my wife likes it so much LOL it's okay but not really work seeing more than once IMO

I think the director added that upward shot with the glorious light bathing and swelling music to make us feel as if she represents hope & tenacity. Apparently she is the chosen one in Florida.

I liked the ending implying (with the torch) that she won the ‘relay’ that she had lost in the beginning of the movie. Then it goes into See You Later Alligator and you know it was a happy ending.
