F*** that ending!

I was enjoying this film right up until it stopped being a horror film and turned in to a psychological thriller.
The ending was well done.....But it was essentially "all just a dream"
Which really annoyed me.
It reminded me of The Wizard of Oz, the way all the characters from the stories were people who worked in the hosptial.
The film is called "Ghost Stories" ....So I was hoping to see a film about ghosts...But there were no ghosts.
Fuck that ending, it ruined the whole film for me.

Yeah. The ending wouldn't have bothered me if it hadn't been done before. But it has. MANY times.

Yeah. Pretty lazy.

I did think something was up though tbh. Martin Freeman in that prosthetic mask and the three 'unsolvable' cases with no proof, just word of mouth retelling. I was hoping for something a lot better really.

Yeah, me too. I was actually excited for the twist and finding out how the stories linked together......Oh it was just a dream. That's great....
Really pissed me off because up until that point, I thought it was a very solid horror film.

One of the best anthologies i've seen in a long time but yea that ending kind of sucked.

Agree with all above, a great movie until that genetic 'it was all a dream' ending.

Moreover it was stolen from the Indonesian movie The Forbidden Door.
