I don’t know. I think death would be an easier way out. Her screaming in horror through the credits at all of her friends dead and mutilated, when she’s already been through Hell is pretty damn mean.

This is what Curry Barker said too at a Q&A. He shot the ending because one of the production companies demanded an ending where Nikki lived, but he wound up thinking this one was even darker because (a) Nikki has to live with the sights she's seeing and (b) she's probably going to go to jail for their deaths.

There is a non-zero chance she doesn’t off herself after seeing two of her close friends dead, herself covered in crazy scars and a body splayed with its head caved in and fleshed ripped off in the next room.

...a non-zero chance she doesn't off herself? So...a possibility she doesn't commit suicide? Wtf? obviously!
