Ending Explained

In the final act of the movie, the remaining friends, Wren and Hallie, become increasingly desperate to save their friend Lizzie, who has fallen into a coma after an encounter with the supernatural entity. Wren believes that sacrificing themselves to the entity might be the only way to save Lizzie. She ventures into the woods alone, hoping to confront and appease the malevolent force. Hallie, however, follows her, unwilling to let her friend face the danger alone. In the forest, Wren is taken by the entity, leaving Hallie to confront the horror on her own. Hallie encounters visions and terrifying manifestations of the entity, which ultimately lead her to a tree where she sees the faces of all the previous victims, including her friends. Realizing that the entity feeds on their fear and despair, Hallie tries to resist, but she is ultimately overpowered. The movie concludes with Hallie being taken by the entity, and a voiceover reveals that the legend of the entity continues to spread, perpetuating its cycle of fear and abduction. The final scenes show Lizzie waking up from her coma, but the fate of Hallie and her friends remains a haunting mystery, suggesting that the entity's influence is far from over.
