The End, It really ruined the film for me. I wish the ending was just the Demon got stuck at that cabin and there was no way for it to get out of the woods. The movie was a 7/10 for me the whole way through but the ending made it a 5/10 or me.

Realistically it probably would have found a deer or some other form of wildlife if that stray cat hadn't been around.

I like the ending. My only disappointment is with Hobbs' naiveté. He didn't consider that Azazel could hop in to ANY living thing?
shareYes same here demon can't possess cat. If it can it will be easy to kill people by possessing cats, because no one will suspect cat for murder.
shareI think it's a participation trophy thing.
shareNot really man, it's cool if you love/like the film, a lot do but I have problems with films that have an ending that tries so hard to be shocking even though downer endings were a bit of the norm in the 90s for thrillers. Se7en did that 500 times better, now that film is a masterpiece and I love the ending to that one. The ending of a film has to fit the tone of the rest of the film in my opinion so Se7en is a bleak, dark, depressing looking film so the ending fits. In Fallen, while it has the same dark look to it, it feels like a run of the mill horror film for most of its length. Have you ever seen Shocker or The Horror Show? This film had the exact same plot as those as well as another film called Destroyer but to be honest, I have quite a fondness for Shocker so I certainly prefer that over this.
I'm really not the guy who loves happy endings all the time, in fact, I prefer bleak, dark films that have dark endings but that fits with the film. My OP is quite old, I was really young at the time and have seen far more films since then and have matured in taste for film. However, I still think Fallen is an overrated film, it was a solid timewaster for most of its running time but the ending while probably the most memorable aspect of the film you can tell is trying so hard to be different. Hell, the director of Fallen did Primal Fear, Frequency, and Untraceable, all films I like a lot more than Fallen. To each their own.
Interesting premise, really poorly written Denzel's monologues were so cliche they were unbelievable, i literally didn't care about any character in the film as they were all two dimensional.
The demon escaped by inhabiting the body of a cat ...i mean seriously, is the writer just taking the piss or was this supposed to be a comedy?
I have no problem with tragedy as a theme, but the feeling I got from it was that it was just sequel-bait. There was just no depth to it.
shareThe "hero loses" ending actually makes this film BETTER for me.
That and a lack of romance between the male/female protagonist. Damn, talk about two things that have been done TO DEATH in film.
The ending is brilliant. All through the film you see Azazel follow Hobbs and narrating, he is the survivour, not the human.
