I always remember the “no ending” of Blair witch project. As it was supposed to be a “real life documentary”, the camera stopped recording while we were right in the middle of the climax, when the cameramen war murdered.
I felt myself fooled, and looked to the projeciontist asking for the next minutes of film!
