There is a scenario scenario school that thinks you should always know your end. If you know where you are heading narratively, you need to be spared by many assumptions and time spent wandering in the woods in search of an exit. That's the rationale, at least.

However, many times you discover during your writing that your characters want different things than you expected, which throws your perfect end in doubt. Suddenly, you realize that your story would be more interesting and dramatically satisfactory if they either failed or succeeded in a completely different way than you initially planned. And sometimes there is only more sense to leave things unsolved.

Cinema "New Hollywood" Since the 1970s he has been known for vague endings (because everyone was kicked out of the Vietnam war and corruption of Nixon), but the triumphant finals of blockbusters like "jaws", "Starwell War: Episode IV - New Hope" and "Superman: The film" began a trend towards neat storytelling, where the main audience felt torn if the directors did not tied everything in the bow until the loans were rolling. So, the studio directors were not terribly inclined to allow their executives to leave money at the table by encouraging the expectations of Movieegoers.

The horror hornar is a little different in that the audience is okay by leaving the theater to feel squeezed. With the arrival of film work with the franchise, these films could be drawn by having satisfying conclusions that are mixed in the final seconds of, for example, the discovery that the weaker is still unexpected. Horror fans will come up with many. But they obviously draw the payment line to watch a movie that ends with a link to a web site where the conclusion can or can't wait.

William Brent Bell's "The Avolor" hit theaters in 2012 at the top of The found crazy of horror. These films were both for the studio and independent directors as well. They were incredibly cheap to make, and, if their hook was properly bait, profitable within their first weekend of publication. The "Devavol inside" cost $ 1 million and made $ 102 million, so it's fair to say that Paramount made an absolute murder of the film. With that kind of success, you expect at least one sequel. But the conclusion was so angered by the audience that Paramount did not bother.

At the end of the Fortge Fright Fright factory, the demonically -possessed main character, Isabella Rossi (Fernanda Andred), encourages a car accident that kills her partner for a documentary film director and heroic priest. Isabella disappears, and the film ends sharply with the cover card, "For more information on the ongoing investigation visit: www.therossifiles.com". At that time, the web site contained fictional media - videos and news clippings - for Isabella and her own mother Maria (Susan Crowley). Moviegoers came out of the movie Irate and, thus, are not inclined to explore the website.

Why did the world think that white and paramount this is a good idea? It was not Bell's idea and he regrets the decision to this day.

During the performance of Podcast "Film Crypt" He hosted Adam Green and Oeo Lynch, Bell once revealed that he should initially be a traditional third act of the "devil inside". However, then President of Paramount Production, Brian Robins, thought it would be cool if the film was shortened after the car accident, there would be a card that directs the audience to visit the film's website for more clues. The problem, according to Bell, was that he thought the story was over in place of the ruin. "I remember another of the executions there," we will break the Internet with this, "he said. "None of us looked at how the movie didn't end and you must go to watch this to understand the others. These were just DVDs, cutting scenes, it was just besides."

The only thing Robbins and his weddings broke up was a sustainable horror franchise. If you were unhappy enough to see the "devil inside" in the theater, you almost certainly heard the grooves in response to the web site. You may have heard of vulgarities. Surprisingly, the film earned "F" China and suffered a 76% drop in its second weekend. If you are wondering what happened on the web site, well, it's also dead, but at least you can see what it looked like through the Wayback machine.

As for Bell, this was a self -made debacle. As he told Green and Lynch:

"One is to put an end to the film abruptly, but then to throw it was like an insult to injury. When it was a daring choice to put an end to the film like he, but then to say it left the wrong impression and people took the wrong way. If we put it at the end of the loans, it would probably have been a non-problem.

Stunningly, Bell in 2020 said he was still striking for ideas for the "devil inside". Since then there has been nothing newly reported to this project, but we will inform you if there is a movement for the least expected follow -up in the history of the film.
