What Happens at the End of Sorry About the Demon?

How Sorry About the Demon (2023) ends, what the final scene means, which earlier moments set it up and how to read the ending if the film leaves it open. The full ending explained, with every spoiler.

In the end, it seems that Deomonous is defeated, but the story leaves an unsettling hint that he may still be lurking. After Will manages to seal the portal using the toothpaste—an inventive, if somewhat unconvincing, method—the possessed Grace and Amy are seemingly banished from the house. However, the ending reveals that Deomonous might not be truly gone. A year later, the Sellers leave Will and his group, and Grace is seen playing a walkman with an ominous look, suggesting that the demon has somehow latched onto her again. This implies that Deomonous has found new ways to possess and threaten others beyond the house, hinting at a never-ending cycle of demonic presence. The film concludes with a sense of dread—it’s not just about the characters fighting the demon in this house but about a malevolent force that might continue to spread its influence, leaving the audience with the chilling possibility that the evil is still very much alive and waiting to strike again.
