I liked the movie but feel it just failed with the ending. It would have been better if the protagonists hadn't survived and the end would have be just an anti-climactic scene of the organisation preparing for next year, business as usual.

Given how much of a point was made of how horror movies and tropes are all the same and formulaic it was weird that they went with a generic and formulaic ending (I guess the fact that the ancient beings woke up and presumably destroyed the world was supposed to be subversion, but as we didn't really see the end of the world, just the main character and her sidekick remaining alive after killing the bad guys it felt very generic at the end.)

I felt like the subversion was more in how neither protagonist was swayed in the end to self-sacrifice to save the world, even as it puts them in a hopeless position. I would have expected either a downer ending (which I think business as usual would fall under), a lucky technicality that lets the world off the hook a little bit longer (like the ancient ones are sated with all the gore from the released monsters), or noble self-sacrifice.

I also liked the movie and also didn't like the ending. But the ending I wanted was one that cut to black with a single tremor from the ground. So it leaves you not knowing whether there really are old gods and the lack of sacrifice really did awaken them, or whether it's all just been some crazy psuedo-religious delusion, and The Organization has been doing this shit for nothing all along.
