Does ‘Unfriended: Dark Web’ Have Two Different Endings Playing In Different Theaters?
You may have to seeUnfriended: Dark Webtwice. Not because the Blumhouse horror film will be difficult to absorb or because there are multiple layers to theUnfriendedsequel, but because there are allegedly two different endings. And both of them will be shown in theaters.
Reports sprung up earlier this week (viaBloody-Disgusting) that there are two separateUnfriended Dark Webendings that will be screened in different theaters. The reports stemmed from an image of a list of instructions for projectionists screening the film that came with an unusual warning: “PLEASE NOTE THIS FEATURE HAS TWO DIFFERENT ENDINGS.”

According to the note, the “Ending 1” version ofUnfriended: Dark Webclocks in at 1:32:22 while “Ending 2” runs for 1:31:55. So is there a possibility that one of them will be a happy ending while the other is much more dire? With Blumhouse, who knows?
We contacted the studio about these reportedly separate endings, but they refused to comment. However,Inversegot in contact with the cast of the film, who stated that they only know of one ending.
“As far as we know there’s only one ending,“Colin Woodell(who plays Matias) told Inverse. Woodell’s description of the final scene matched the one thatscreened at festivals, but did remark that directorStephen Suscodid shoot several versions of the film — leaving open the possibility that Blumhouse could have stored a second, secret ending. “This is the weirdest thing about this film,” Woodell said. “We filmed so much stuff and did so many reshoots. So many cooks in the kitchen weighing in. A lot of the stuff we filmed, I’d hear from Stephen [Susco, the director,] one month we’re keeping this in and another month saying not anymore. So things have constantly been changing and I think they’ve been changing even a few weeks ago.”
However, there may be some truth to these early reports. A Twitter user reported seeing two different versions ofUnfriended: Dark Webdisplayed on his movie app.

This is not a new tactic for movies. In 1985,Cluepulled off the multiple endings gimmick, famously building buzz by screening three distinct endings for the film to be shown in theaters. The outrageous stunt was so beloved by critics and audiences that it helped elevate the movie to cult status, and sent fans into a frenzy over a mysteriousfourth ending. But since then, not many films have screened alternate endings in theaters — though many horror films offer secret or cut endings as special features.
