Oh oh oh! Thank you! I can't remember the name of the movie now, but there's another movie where a mother and daughter move into the delapadated (sp?) building after her divorce. OK, so throughout the movie, weird things are happening in the building, as well as to the little girl. By the end, it's revealed that there's a ghost girl who is plaguing the mother and daughter. Mostly the daughter, because the ghost is jealous of the little girl. She (the ghost) was abandoned in the building (specifically, the apartment above the one where the mother and daughter are currently living), and the girl wandered up to the roof, where a water tank was, and she climbed up a ladder on the tank, and wound up falling in and drowning. So once it's discovered what happened to the little girl, the mother thinks everything is over, and her own daughter is safe, and they can go on with their lives. But it's not. While the daughter is taking a bath, the ghost comes back and starts trying to kill the daughter by drowning her in the tub. The mother fights to save her daughter, so she promises the ghost she'll stay and never leave the ghost girl. "Magically," the mother takes her daughter's place and drowns. Thereby fulfilling her promise that she'll stay with the ghost girl.
So, anyway, the point is, in this movie, The New Daughter, the father made a promise not to ever leave his daughter. The only way to keep the promise, like with the other movie, was for the father to die. In this case, for the daughter to die as well. It was the only way that he could protect his daughter from the Mound Walkers.
As to the absolute end of this movie being "the worst ending to a film, ever," well, it certainly could have been better, but it's certainly not the worst ending, ever.
