Predator Island  (2005)
Nomination Year: 2012
SYNOPSIS: A half-dozen college kids are out for a joyride in a boat. They pass an island at the mouth of the harbor. An island with a large, distinctive-looking lighthouse. The lighthouse keeper and his wife spot them, and they all wave at each other.

Suddenly, a meteor strikes! The weather gets rough. The engine cuts out. The radio cuts out. They are adrift near The Lighthouse at Hell's Beacon (which would have made a more poetic name for the film - oh, snap!).

Suddenly, it gets dark! The weather is still bad. The engine is still out. The radio is still out. The boat is drifting close to some rocks. The kids don life vests and go ashore. The lighthouse keeper and his wife rescue the kids. Only five come ashore, however. One of the kids apparently drowned. Oh, snap!

Suddenly, something kills the lighthouse keeper's dog! An alien attacks the group. It can possess bodies (or perhaps instead it disguises itself -- that part is unclear). The alien can run fast enough to keep up with the truck, yet is quiet enough to sneak up on people. Luckily (for them, not it), it's not bulletproof. The survivors manage to kill the alien using dynamite, and return to the house to regroup. Take that, aliens! Oh, snap!

Suddenly, it turns out that one of the survivors was another alien in disguise! The audience was lead to believe it was the lighthouse keeper's wife, but instead it was the blonde that the sole surviving college male just had sex with. Oh, snap!

Suddenly, it becomes necessary to blow up the entire lighthouse in order to wipe out the last alien! There goes the budget. Oh, snap!

Crummiest Ending
The Race is Over. The Humans Lost It.
The last two kids survive the aliens on the island. After the lighthouse keeper sacrifices himself in order to destroy the final alien, they take his boat to the mainland, and safety. The only problem is, it's quiet. Almost too quiet. Until ... they round a corner and see dozens of bodies lying in the street. At this point, they realize the terrible truth. Their experience on the island wasn't an isolated one -- it was simply part of a large-scale alien invasion. The End.
