Also an alternate ending that would be cool is since he had the button and while hes proposing hes the one that gets dragged to hell.

That movie was fucking amazing, and in my opinion is the third greatest horror/comedy ever, after Shaun of the dead and evil dead 2

Not surprising since it comes from the director of Evil Dead, who will also be the director of Dr. Strange 2

Agreed, a Dante's inferno like sequel would be awesome if done right.

well, she said she could have extended it a third time. But she was more worried about advancing her career and her own self interests.

Glad I'm not the only one who hated that ending.

She clearly learned a valuable lesson and that other lady was crazy. Just seems excessive to keep punishing her for eternity over a job-related function. The lady ended up dying anyways so why did it matter?

I suscribe to the theory it's not a real curse and the main girl had bulimia, it really checks out IMO. All the horror shit is stuff going in her mouth, throwing up, an eye in her cake, etc., she barely eats in the movie, she has an old picture of her where she's fat, the toothless old woman who curses her was stealing candy and had nasty/no teeth like someone with Bulimia would. A lot of the time other people don't react, too.

In the ending, even if she wasn't dragged to hell, she'd still be dead. And she backs up herself. The button, if anything, could symbolize a larger sized coat and that triggered her disorder.

That only checks out if you ignore the kid in the beginning getting dragged to hell. Its just a movie people. You dont need to trick yourself.

I'm somewhat tempted to rant about how unartistic and meaningless it is to use happy endings for the sake of happy endings as resolution. But I haven't seen the film in so long I wouldn't be able use it as an example. But the idea of the movie being a "parable" about "bulimia" is kind of interesting and makes me want to rewatch it.

Fair enough, havent seen it until theaters, didnt even remember that. 100% though the bulimia angle is real

On yea I forgot aboit that. That is even more fucked up than the ending when I think about it. A literal child pulls a prank and when he follows his parents advice to make up for it, he literally goes to hell.

People are morons. A movie resolves when its purpose and meaning are fully stated. I'd refer to a movie whose purpose is to coddle viewers with nothing more than the suggestion that good things happen to good people and bad things happen to bad people, and justice and fairness prevail as childish, but I'd be insulting the intelligence of children.

My issue is the lesson was learned, but nothing positive comes with the lesson.

So what was the message?

Regardless, the real issue I had with the ending is the whole bait and switch of it pretending to be happy and then being said.

And also why the FUCK was a train going full speed in a train station? Do they not understand how dangerous that shit is?

Sad endings need to be earned as much as happy ones. This movie didn't earn a sad ending.
