In that case, the original story can remain intact while giving the fans more to explore. However, suppose the franchise was to explore other related but not directly connected storylines that follow the same concept ( similar to the Unbreakable trilogy) or even launch a prequel, showing the monster's origins. Unfortunately, similar to Raimi, Kent believes that The Babadook's story is complete and perfect as is. The film ends with Amelia locking The Babadook in the basement and feeding it worms, leaving plenty of room for a sequel. Breaking the stereotype of a final girl, Amelia realizes that some monsters - not unlike depression or addiction that are often brought up as the movie's allegories - can't be defeated but instead accepted and integrated.

The ending certainly leaves room for continuation. ![]() Unlike the typical horror happy ending where the protagonist discovers the truth behind the mystery and manages to escape the grim fate at the very last moment, Drag Me to Hell brutally does the opposite - it actually drags the character to hell, just as promised. ![]() Considered one of Sam Raimi's best movies, Drag Me to Hell follows the story of a loan officer, Christine (Alison Lohman), who refuses a loan to an old woman and gets cursed, facing a cheerful prospect of being sent to hell in three days. ![]()
