Many movie endings may miss the movie mark to find closure. We walks out of the movie theaters feeling cheated. A bad ending is more memorable than a good ending. A good ending is a movie that answers the inciting incident. In the setup, the writer introduces an inciting incident that represents the main theme.
When you write academic research papers and essays, your instructors require you to state your thesis. The thesis statement intends to guide the reader. Thus the reader understands the main focus of the research. Imagine writing a great paper, but then failing to close the conclusion. Even worse, your conclusion has nothing to do with the thesis.
A bad movie ending resembles a bad academic essay and or research paper. There are exceptions to bad endings, as the falling action can answer the questions established in the setup. However, the twist ending is so terrible to watch that we identify the entire movie as a disaster.
The top 5 worst movie endings ever:
- The Devil Inside (terrible!!!)
- The Happening (cliche)
- The Village (Really?!!!)
- The Cabin in the Woods (horrible!!!)
- The Forgotten (very bad!!!)
