Most f***ed up ending

What movie do you think has the most messed up ending?
I think that Tales From The Crypt, 1972 does.
I won't spoil it for those who haven't seen it.

A thread with potential to ruin a hell of a lot of films for people who haven't seen them.


Nice going.

But i'm not.

The Mist was pretty screwed up for me. I was a bit gobblesmacked by that one.

I am Legend ... it could easily have ended prior to last scene.

I Am Legend sucked. "Lets use CGI characters that look like they were made using binary punch cards." "Yeah! That way they'll look like crap!" Good going. Besides the obvious.... I don't even remember how this slop ended.

Gosh, doesn't it depend on what you mean by the question? Do you mean that as in "bad ending" or just a huge "WTF?" response to an ending that is otherwise good (even brilliant)?

Because I would put The Mist in the latter category for its ending, but certainly not the first.

Anyway....

For "bad ending" I would go with The Number 23 as my answer.

For a "WTF" ending, I would go with A Clockwork Orange and The Hole has a good "WTF" ending (better in the book).

Pretty sweet.

YES! I totally agree with you. I couldn't care much for that movie because those monster people looked idiotic.

The plot was good, but the monsters looked like blade rejects.

The Mist.

The Jagged Edge (1985) which hinged on whether the guy on trial for murdering his wife was an innocent victim of circumstance or else a cold-blooded serial killer who killed other women to make the murder of his wife "fade" into the other murders. Problem is, when the killer is killed while attempting yet another murder and his ski mask is removed, the camera is looking at the killer's somewhat jowly face at such an angle that it not only looks like the main suspect but also bears a strong resemblance to another person who was earlier suspected but cleared. You can assume the killer was the person who you suspected at that time, but that brief confusing shot of his features and the fact that no one ever refers to him by name after he's dead, leaves the true identity open to question. Not what you want in a suspense movie.

Okay, I just thought of the proper answer - Eraserhead's ending, or at least the last 10 minutes.

My first thought is certainly The Innocents, my vote for the best horror film ever. The implications of the entire film, the actual ending and how it relates to the beginning of the movie, make me feel that it will carry the deepest scars on all the principle characters of it.




Otherwise, I'd say that Dead of Night (1945) is pretty screwed up.

They both look awesome Mark, specially The Innocents, i've never seen either before. I am intrigued.

I LOVED Soldier with Kurt Russell, but the ending was way too plain considering how well he did in that movie.

"messed up" is pretty vague, but i reckon lynch and herzog would dominate my top 10
