It's impossible to deny the thrill of a good horror film, especially when it's paired with a dash of comedy to keep us on our toes. Triggered, the South African horror-comedy directed by Alastair Orr, certainly delivered on both fronts.
But as the credits rolled and the lights came up, many viewers couldn't help but wonder: was there another way this twisted tale could have ended?
Well, dear readers, prepare yourselves for a mind-bending journey as we explore an alternative ending to the Triggered movie that will leave you questioning everything you thought you knew about survival and the human psyche.
Buckle up, because this is one wild ride you won't want to miss.
The new ending
As the survivors of the deadly game of "Triggered" gather their wits and assess the carnage around them, they realize that their ordeal is far from over. Rian, Kato, Erin, PJ, Ezra, and Shea stand amidst the bodies of their fallen friends, their hearts heavy with grief and fear.
But little do they know that their true test is about to begin.
Suddenly, the ground beneath them begins to tremble, and a deafening roar fills the air. The forest around them comes alive with a swarm of monstrous creatures, emerging from the shadows. These creatures are not the masked killers they had encountered before, but grotesque, otherworldly beings with razor-sharp claws and glowing red eyes.
In a panic, the survivors scramble to find shelter, desperately trying to evade the relentless pursuit of these new adversaries. As they run, they stumble upon a hidden underground bunker, a remnant of a forgotten era.
With no other options, they rush inside, sealing the heavy metal door behind them.
Inside the bunker, they find themselves in a dimly lit room filled with monitors and control panels. It becomes clear that this bunker was once a secret government facility, designed to study and contain supernatural entities.
But now, it seems that the creatures have broken free.
As they search for a way to defend themselves, they stumble upon a recording left behind by the bunker's previous occupants. The recording reveals a shocking truth: the game they had just survived was not a mere sadistic experiment but a desperate attempt to contain the creatures unleashed by a failed government experiment.
The survivors realize that they are not just victims but potential saviors. They must find a way to stop the creatures from spreading beyond the confines of the forest, or else the world will be plunged into chaos.
With newfound determination, they gather weapons and devise a plan to lure the creatures into a trap.
In a thrilling showdown, the survivors face off against the horde of creatures, using their wits and resourcefulness to outsmart and overpower them. It is a battle of survival, where each decision and action carries the weight of the world.
Finally, as the last creature falls, the survivors emerge from the bunker, battered but victorious. They stand on the edge of the forest, looking out at a world forever changed. The implications of their ordeal weigh heavily on their minds, as they realize that the government's experiments have unleashed a force that cannot be contained.
With a mix of relief and trepidation, they vow to expose the truth to the world, to ensure that no one else falls victim to the horrors they have witnessed. They become a group of unlikely heroes, united by their shared trauma and their determination to prevent further devastation.
As the credits roll, viewers are left with a sense of awe and wonder, contemplating the consequences of humanity's insatiable desire for power and control.
