Why? Almost every horror movie has the “evil wins” ending. I think the only reason they still pull the same tired schtick is to try to milk any given movie into a franchise. Zero respect from me.
@@aricrudd6579 I have to disagree. Most of the horror movies I’ve seen over the past 40 years didn’t have an “evil win” ending. And franchises develop regardless of how the original film ended. If the fan base is there and more money can be milked out of it they’re gunna try to go franchise. And that started in the ‘80s so I guess it would be a very tired schtick by now
@@Usandthem31 Maybe that’s true for the specific movies you’ve seen, but objectively speaking, most horror movies end with evil winning. A lot will even have the fake out “final girl got away, PSYCHE, NO SHE DIDN’T”. The vast, vast majority of horror movies have the monster win, that’s simply not debatable. The subjective part is just whether you’re sick of it or not. I absolutely am. Horror movies need to have more variety in their endings.
Se7en is brutal. Just brutal. Plus, who remembers the ending of Prince of Darkness? The woman pulled into the mirror towards the end? Not as brutal but the hopelessness you feel her…
Halloween III: Season Of The Witch registered mentally at such a level that to this day, I still cannot wear a mask that covers your entire face without starting to hyperventaliate.
@BlazeNarutoShippuden well Brandon in Brightburn probably just ruled unchallenged, his only weakness is a ship that only he knows exists or its location. Sounds like Game over for everybody else.
I guess some of these I don't find evil won....I mean yes the good guys in I Saw the Devil and Last House on the Left did kill and that broke them, but they still killed the bad guys and prevented anymore victims. I honestly love those endings.
I agree. Evil wins when they defeat (kill) the good guy and are still alive at the end to “live happily ever after.” If the good guy becomes the bad guy, but the original bad guy is killed, then that original bad guy didn’t really win.
Can someone post a list of all the movies in the comments please? I only watched a part of the video and I want to know the rest of the movies without having the endings spoiled. Thanks in advance :)

drag me to hell sounds really dumb tbh, the lady who inflicts the curse seems like she's over reacting, I mean does the protagonist REALLY deserve to lose all the loved ones, thus they suffer too, and then get dragged to hell to suffer for all eternity, because like with anyone really, she denied an extension whilst doing her job?
These are all great, but i want a movie where the evil is just overwhelmingly in control. I want a movie where even though the protags do everything right, the evil still shows how futile everything truly was
Eden lake just really pisses me off. I don't think it's because of the bleak ending because the end of the Mist made me laugh but probably just because a little disrespectful shitheads just get away with everything and that the adults let this shit happen. It's just super ridiculous.
In a way. It has some horror themes for sure, but ultimately it is for the viewer to decide. With horror just like comedy being so subjective horror can hit on different levels to different people. Other films that fall into this would be Jaws, Get Out and Silence of the Lambs the Oscars don't like horror so they change the genre. Die Hard is a Christmas by the way 😎
@@Pishcott85 I disagree to a point, yes Drag Me To Hell is foremost comedic but there are points that make this fall into the horror genre, Shaun of the Dead is heavy on the comedy but being eaten by a zombie is horrific and so would being dragged to Hell. But this is what makes for good banter we can still pleasantly disagree 😎Happy Spooky Season!!
@@TheTonyahawk Horror comedies exist, but Drag Me to Hell is way more horrific than funny whereas Shaun of the Dead is if anything more comedy and human drama than horror. The zombies are mostly played for laughs and used for story.
Dead Silence was a victim of unfortunate timing: it’s a genuinely creepy ghost story that was released at a time when people just wanted more films like SAW. If Waan had made it after The Conjuring, it might’ve gotten more love since by that time supernatural horror had become popular again.
I think it's important to note that Brightburn isn't as simple as "If Superman decided to be evil." It's more that it illustrates what absolute saints of humankind the Kents are. The family isn't evil - but they do react in ways that make them normal and human. They get scared by Brandon, and that's what starts the spiral of his corruption and evil.
How about almost all of them within the last twenty years? “Evil won” has gotten stale at this point. A happy ending would be downright subversive in modern horror.
Or how about Black Christmas (1974)? Jesse killed her boyfriend, believing him to be the killer. She's left alone in the house, asleep in her bed, when we learn that the killer is still hiding in the attic. Then as the scene changes to outside the house, the phone begins to ring. And the killer only called them on the phone after he killed someone, indicating that he had killed Jesse. So now he's calling Officer Nash, the cop that didn't take the report from the sorority house seriously, and is now the cop left guarding the sorority house, after killing Jesse. Which insinuates that he'll be killing Officer Nash right after the call.
Evil always wins. Even if the villain/monster is defeated, there's always that scene where the fingers are moving slightly, or the camera goes somewhere obscure and we see the proof that evil isn't dead, etc.
Hereditary? The whole family dies except for the older brother who ends up being the chosen vessel to the demon Paymon. The look on his face at the end was a combination of defeat, acception, and a bit of confusion. He's been through a LOT and it ends with the aforementioned ending.
I haven't seen The Skeleton Key, but I'm fairly certain Mama Cecile and Papa Justify were _slaves,_ not servants, right? "Servants" are voluntary workers who get paid. Slaves are treated like property.
Am a bit annoyed that the first clip here just wasn't featured in the actual video. Really wanted to know what that movie was. It reminds me of Song of Horror, which is like a top tier horror experience, especially now that you can choose your own difficulty.
I'm going to be honest Brad Pitt's character from the movie seven I actually feel like he overcame evil by getting rid of it completely which was killing the horror movie villain at the end of the film because yeah I get that he could have brought him in a course made him face the justice system and also ended up going to prison or even getting the death sentence he probably still could have found a way to escape which eventually would have repeated the cycle of the main horror movie villain committee murders again
I was going t suggest Amityville 2: The Possession but then I remembered that the Montelli family are such a vile bunch the house is almost the protagonist not the antagonist this time round.
@@Joemama55122I will stand by my comments and say that it’s mainly a story about a family who made every bad logical choice possible in a movie where it’s not a slasher or meant to be campy and shit off your brain. It’s so bad
Let me explain to you how deep in the depths of depravity "I Saw the 'GOTDAMN' Devil" goes... I am a firm believer in vengeance/revenge. After watching that movie even I felt like the revenge wasn't even worth it after what he did to that guy and his family. 😖
New Beginnings was a prequel of the redo Texas Chainsaw Massacre where he was called Thomas Huette and the events of the original time line or the requel time line never happened and never was called Bubba or Junior, or whatever nor the family was ever called the Sawyers or Slaughters.
