Anyone else just deeply impressed by the last 10 minutes?
I adore horror films, but easily the hardest part for the entire genre is sticking the landing. Even some of my favorite horror films of all time, the ending can get clunky to the point where I kind of just zone out.
The last act of this film is possibly my favorite part of the whole film, it's so fucking rare for a horror movie to keep getting better and better, with all the built-up tension being finally released. I'm convinced that's one of the main reasons why this film was so successful..
One last "WHY DON'T YOU LOVE MEEEEEE", the mutilated body of Sarah, Ian getting shockingly headshot at point blank, Bear's hilariously panicked "I LOVE YOUUUUUUUU!!!!!", the genius idea of having Bear take pills and then try to back out of that, only for Nikki to make a wish - the hilarious and depressingly cute looks they give each other as they are both finally deeply in love for just a minute, only for Bear to die and Nikki to finally come back. Even watching the film for the first time, I couldn't help but have the biggest smile knowing 'yup, this is one of my favorite horror movies ever.'
With so many great shots throughout the film, this one literally ends with my favorite one - the slow pan downwards from Nikki, to Bear on the ground, to the TV upside down and the credits in the TV? Urgh, amazing.
How fucking rare is this for a horror movie!?!?
