Partial Close:

Carries friend struggles whilst giving birth. Whilst she was struggling everything started shaking and a big hand full of blood reached out to her. Then ended with her waking up and holding her stomach crying over her unborn child. Thus, leaving an enigma code wondering if her child inherited Carrie's powers.

In conclusion, I think this fits with 5 act because it has the structure. For example, it started with an inciting incident, leading to a rising action, climax, Falling action than a resolution with a partial close, this could be because is not a long film.
