Stupid ending

It was inevitable she was going to die. By the ending, she was most likely the only uninfected person in the building and she was in that attic, in pitch blackness, by herself (after Scott, the cameraman, was attacked). She was also apparently in the midst of a nervous breakdown from fear at that point.

I'm assuming she was dragged into the darkness either by the same infected man who she and Scott encountered moments earlier - and who killed/started to eat Scott - or another infected person in the attic who just wasn't captured on camera. After that, she was definitely killed, so...the end. Where could the film possibly have gone from there?

I thought it was a good ending. Horror shoudln't end on a positive note. Very good movie.

maye it was the firefighter guy, since he knew where they were headed. But yeah- stupid ending! I hate movies that have no resolve (e.g. let the bad guys win).

This movie was pretty intense and horrifyingly disgusting. But it really needed a better ending

The whole point is that it's an unreveal. We don't know what happened to her. The implication is that it's so much more horrifying than anything we've seen so far, and it's so bad we can only imagine it.

I could come up with a hundred different explanations for what happened. None of them would be good enough. We don't see who or what is dragging her off, or where she ended up. She disappears, her screams are cut-off, it's over. She's dead sooner or later.

Also, the great speed was probably to imply that if it WAS the waify infected guy, he's a lot stronger than he looks, which means that even those tiny little monsters are some of the things we should fear the most, since we don't know what they're capable of.

Some people moan because of the ad campaign that blew the ending in the trailer and such. I disagree... I liked that whole conspiracy-theory angle. It got to me in a really impressionable period of my life, where I was more terrified of movies than I am now (sadly) so even though I knew it ended with everyone dead, I wanted to know how it got there.

There's also the idea that throughout the movie, she's working on her job and doesn't know it's her last night on earth, in essence. So I was just squirming as I awaited the inevitable. Sometimes knowing what happens makes it worse, which is probably what they were going for in advertising this movie - don't forget that whole conspiracy-theory angle in a post-9/11 culture where the government is always up to no good.

It's explained in the original's sequel; she was dragged by the Nina Medeiros to become the next host of the demon that caused the virus.

Here... she was eaten.
