I love the endings where it's unexpected. You're sitting there thinking that it's over and then dun-dun-duuuuhhhhh! It's not, and you're left with your jaw dropped going, "NO....way...." Hence, I love the idea of the villain winning - not in real life, but in the movies. You always hear about the 'black-guy' being the first to die, or the one guaranteed to die in a movie, and there's always at least one girl and one guy that end up alive in the end. It's about time that they start creating movies that are more realistic. Killer cabbage patch dolls? Please. But 'IT'....now there's a creepy movie. Knowing before hand who's going to die, puts your mind on a completely different focused plane. You find that you're rooting for the villains instead of the innocents. Is that a bad thing? I'm not entirely sure, but it's a movie so who is to say? Van Helsing had the sweetest graphics when it came to werewolves and vampires, but they should have done more with it. They should have let the werewolves triumph. Now that would have been freaking awesome. And having Hugh Jackman be the ultimate bad-assed werewolf....now that's just a whole lot of nummy.
But that's another story.
