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.

It did seem abrupt. I'm glad there was no jump scare ending (every movie does that), but it would be nice to see a jump forward at the hospital or something.

reply

Yeah, I think they should of at least showed them leaving in the helicopter, but since there was no jump scare it was just implied.

reply

Should have had the last shot be the biggest of the Gators leaping out of the water and bringing down the rescue helicopter.

I know, right?!

reply

Yeah, I was literally waiting for a gator to jump up and grab her at the end....

reply

Yeah, I was expecting some kind of scene like a year later with her winning a swimming race. She gets out of the pool, showing off all of her scars and waves at her dad, who waves back with his prosthetic hand.

Fade to black.

I like your idea of an ending! A happy ending for a change!

Last second jump scares have become so common we've gotten to the point where it's more of a surprise to not have one lol

Yes. I expected to see a Gator get on the roof. The water was high enough, and Gators had been chasing people in the streets and in the basement, so why not on the roof? I thought she was going to fall down when she (stupidly) stood up on the roof. (I mean -- after all -- by standing up she gains about 3 more feet, when the helicopter is probably at least 200 feet high; 3 feet won't make a meaningful difference. It's not like the roof is wet, or that her leg is injured, or that there are strong winds.) And I guess they've got to get into the basket themselves, and strap themselves in, with hurricane-force winds, with missing and/or injured limbs. They missed an extra 30 minutes of thrills there. Maybe the gator could get in the basket and take out the whole copter!

However, it was funny when it suddenly jumped to the end credits and that song played.

reply

I see the humor there with the song and all, but I didn't laugh. I was dumbfounded for lack of a better word. I just felt like "really?, this movie was lame enough and they end it like THIS?!" I couldn't laugh.

I think my wife may have as she liked it. I think I may try watching this one at home this time. Maybe I'll like it more than when I saw it in the theaters.
