Deep in the Darkness : Same ole ending!

As someone who has seen many a horror movie I have to say I did enjoy this until I realized that it was just going to end like most. In this day and time people like myself actually crave the days when there was a hero or heroine and good prevailed. Tired of this, Oh I am so surprised everyone died and the bad guy won. I was introduced at an early age to movies like Prom Night, Friday the 13, The Changeling, Ghost Story etc. At the same time I was introduce to writers like Clive Barker, Stephen King, Daphne De Maurier and of course Edgar Allen Poe. There is so much shiz going on right now that I crave the days when someone, frack SOMEONE good kicks some A$$ and I can finish a movie feeling YES and not, well S$!T everyone loses again. My opinion. Y=Tear me apart if you want because I won't check. :)

I have not heard of him but I will look him up. Thank you for the info. I did enjoy this movie but the tired ending just ruined it for me.

Sounds like you want an action movie or a thriller. Horror movies often end with everyone getting killed. In fact, I think down endings are the norm of horror movies.

Looks like you haven't seen many horror movies made within the last 25 yrs. Most horror movies these days end with a final girl, not a downbeat ending where evil prevails.

No point mentioning F13 as many of the final survivors die at the beginning of the next film. And the reason so many horror films end the way you say is because they *are* horror films and not feel good romps.

As a long time horror fan, I feel cheated if there's an upbeat ending. Most of the best horror flicks don't have one.

Um that only happened one time in the F13 franchise between part 1 and 2. Also Horror films can still have downbeat endings without the copout sequel lead up where everyone dies. It kinda makes people wonder why they just sat through the whole thing rooting (at least hopefully rooting) form the lead character or characters to make it out. The problem is that with many bad endings in which the villain wins and everyone dies it always tends to feel as if the writers couldn't find a proper way to end the film and stay within the tone of the movie so they copped out and killed everyone. Some movies did this during the climax and not during the final scare. A good example is the Evil Dead remake, not a happy ending but someone lives and gets away. It makes the film worth sitting through to see good triumph over evil at least until next time. Not the other way around. The bad ending has been made a cliche in my opinion by the Saw movies that never, not once featured a happy ending Jigsaw always won in the end and after watching people get aimlessly tortured for 90 minutes I'd like some for of catharsis. Also I don't think he necessarily wants a happy everyone in smiles ending but just one where some lives for gods sake and evil is defeated for the time being. It's the part at the end of the climax when we can all breath because it's over and there are no more scares anymore. The final jump is just annoying

First, you're missing the point.
Second, remember good old classic horror movies?
In Friday the 13th, Jason was a "hero", we all know him, we're all fans of him, not the teens he killed.
In Nightmare on Elm Street, hero is Freddy who we all like, nevermind he's a killer.
In all the good horror movies where no hero is survivor, hero is often the killer, who we get to know though the movie.
In this Deep in the Darkness, hero is Dr Michael, not the monsters. Point is:
If you're creating a movie where everybody gets killed, and the bad guy/guys win, then connect the audience with above-mentioned bad guys. If you connect us to some to-be-hero, then don't mess it up and kill everyone, while leaving bad guys unknown and not explained at all.

The most disappointing thing about the ending is, the novel had a much better, still twisty, ending. I don't know why they changed so much from the book. The first half was pretty close, but about midway through it's like the threw out the novel and slapped some other story's ending on it.

I don't mind the good guys losing. Not at all.. But I'm quite sick of the abrupt endings. There's this notion that such endings are more artistic, or more superb because they leave it up to the viewer, things like that. In my opinion, I've just watched a couple hours of your movie, the least you could do would be to give me some closure to the plot. You didn't leave the first 95% of the film up to my imagination, or for me to infer, so just give me a god damned ending.

This movie, the twist was fine.. The baby creature was expected, but I was irritated that it just ended at the discovery that the wife was one of them.. What happens next? Clearly this isn't the end of this adventure. I know the doctor wouldn't quit there, so why does the movie?
