How It Should Have Ended --Add your own!--
Loved the movie, but with such an ambiguous end, I couldn't help but add to it... continuing on from where the movie originally ended, I went with a take on a Hollywood Cliché end (yes, I know this is in no way faithful to the source material, but I wanted to have fun with it... please add your own!)
END -->
Near sighted woman sitting by herself in the Restaurant, someone walks up to her just off screen, she turns to the ominous presence.
David walks out of the bathroom defeated, unable to blind himself. Walks to booth, but she’s gone!
He hears her scream his name, looks out window to see the Short Sighted Woman right before she’s tranquilized and dragged into the Hotel Bus.
He runs outside as the bus takes off… He continues running as the bus vanishes in the distance.
——
David arrives at the Hotel, heaving and covered in sweat. He ran the whole way and its now night… the bus is parked out front.
Inside the hotel, the Short Sighted Woman wakes up in the Transformation room… She starts screaming.
David hears the screams [yes... lots of screaming] and heads towards them-- sneaks into the hotel (using his skills gained from the Loners), He’s dodging guards and taking out guests left and right…. He manages to grab a tranquilizer gun off the last guard he encounters (they’re standing just outside the Transformation room.)
David opens the door, dramatic reveal: the Loner Leader is there (oh yeah, she survived the whole dog attack and escaped the grave… only she’s gnarled and bloody, looking every part the monster she really is…)
Long story short: She knocks the tranquilizer gun from Davids grasp, they fight, she gets the upper hand and is about to kill David with a scalpel...
She then says something here, to the effect that she’s been in-cahoots with the Hotel the whole time… or insert any other fitting big twist cliché.
Right before she’s about to deliver the final blow, she’s shot by the tranquilizer gun— Reveal: the near sighted woman holding the gun, she just pulled off some very Daredevil-ish skills (blind but uses her other senses.)
David and the Near Sighted woman embrace… She says something about being thankful that he didn’t skewer himself with the knife, he apologizes that he didn’t join her… she replies with a joke that makes everything alright (a play on the ‘blind leading the blind')
They look over the unconscious Loner Leader, David has an aha moment.
Fade to--
POV: eyes opening on Davids face.
The Short Sighted woman, her eyesight now restored! --they embrace one more time [gotta love 'dem embraces!]
Loner leader lies unconscious on the operating table… ehhh, lets make her dead--
Kk, so Loner Leader is dead on the operating table, she’s got hollowed out eye sockets. David explains that he used the transformation skills he gained when he transformed the heartless woman into an animal — He continues, says he first learned about the procedure when the Limping man brought it up at dinner one night [remember that scene?]
David goes into details, organ transplants etc… Near Sighted Woman cuts him off as she realizes…
'OMG… I can see you so clearly now.' She starts to get it… blinks, opens he eyes wide, scans the room, ‘I don’t need contacts!'
David face turns sour.
'I’m not Near Sighted anymore!' she exclaims.
David turns and looks to the camera, with an 'awwwww shucks!' look on his face.
Freeze frame on David's expression as we fade to black.
