The Mist. It wouldn’t have mattered how long Thomas Jane waited to mercy kill his son. Think about it, The Crazy Lady who lead the cult at the supermarket said the horror would end if they killed his kid as a sacrifice. Then, when he DOES kill his kid, the horror does indeed end.
No, she “suggests” it, cuz she assumed that, killing people, would fix the problem, he even mentions it, as a reason, to leave, also she’s supposed, to not be right or even justified, by the viewers, cuz she’s a religious zealot, Stephen King’s favourite villain, since they’re the worst kind, of religious person, so no, that’s not confirmed, by anyone, who worked, on the movie or the novella.
Whats even worse about number 3 is that its based on an actual murder that happened. A woman murdered a pregnant woman and stole her unborn child, and tried to claim it was hers. Just a week ago she received the death sentence if im not misstaken.
The ending to the descent is even more depressing because when the credits roll, the picture of all the girls ready to go into the caves is present, making the happy photo very sad.
With all these movies, I learned that 1. Don’t go to woods 2. Get a gun 3. The moment I sense even a hint of weird things, Ima leave ASAP P.S : thank everyone for the likes and the great comments. I wanted to add a small comment, having 722 likes feels awesome and the comments here are awesome . Thank you soooo much
@Veganface true bullet don’t affect paranormal, but the people in movies either don’t have a sense of warning or they completely ignore the obvious signs. Zombies tho, maybe
@@l0cal_dishwasher_near_u905 hahaha, true. If they were my friends and they still want to ignore that, than they can be bait while I run to the car and GTFO ASAP
@Prashant M Depends. Silver Bullets or bullets blessed in some other way work well on paranormal too. As for zombies... Well, Resident Evil protagonists seem to be pretty good at fighting them with bullets. Depends on the kind of zombie but usually works
@@l0cal_dishwasher_near_u905 Alternatively: "I'm going to go down into the cellar to investigate that strange noise I heard, but I won't bother to put the light on or arm myself with any kind of weapon. Also, if I'm a female, I'll do this in just my underwear."
“The mist” I believed was the worst one, kills his own son and the other survivors just to end with the whole rescue team pulling up right beside him- there was no going back for what he did now he’s gonna have to live with that killing those ppl and his own son 😭
In the descent sarah didn't stab juno in the end because of the affair, she had already known about that and put it past her. She stabbed juno because for one thing, they were only in the caves in the first place because of Juno and she also found one of their friends who was dying who told her that when she was attacked juno ran and left her. That's what the keys in her hand are that she shows juno, a good luck charm that the other girl always wore. There's also a sequel that makes the escape ending canon, where Sarah has been found with ptsd induced memory loss and a bunch of climbers plus an asshole cop take sarah back into the cave system to find her friend's, and Juno is actually still alive down there fighting against the creatures.
The pendant Beth hands her and she shows to Juno before slashing her is the evidence of the affair, given to her by Beth just before she died. So the fact that she pointedly shows this to Juno before attacking her ("This was a present from my husband, Paul - I know about you") makes it pretty obvious that that's what she's killing her for
8. 0:34 The Descent 7. 1:55 Eden Lake 6. 3:12 The Wicker Man 5. 4:30 Night of the Living Dead 4. 5:33 Martyrs 3. 6:51 Inside 2. 8:05 The Mist 1. 9:09 Don't Look Now
I really hope that in Martyrs, what the secret society learned was that because of their horrible actions in order to learn secrets they were undeserving of, they would never be saved and would face only damnation. I just think that would be pretty fitting and grim while still being justified.
I really think it’s that there is nothing. Why else would Mademoiselle say “keep doubting” or expedite the process of going to hell? Just my theory though.
@@Platinum400 Maybe because she knew she was going to hell no matter what she did, so the rest of her life became too pointless to live? She could never atone for her sins, thus never making it to heaven which she now knows exists, but will be eternally out of her reach? And that "keep doubting" also means "good, don't look" because she looked and now wishes she never did. My theory.
@@mysticmajestic2360 that's close to what I assumed too; but then why would she deliberately jump into the hell awaiting her? My husband's theory: "It's French. It doesn't have to make sense." 😅
anybody i mention that movie to, if they've seen it, "omg that ending." and this clowns puts it #2, thumbs down hell even looking through here, like 15-25% of the comments are about it.
8:04 That was the best summary of The Mist that I have ever heard. Trying to describe or explain that movie to someone who has never heard or just seen the movie/read the book, is in a top 10 hardest things to do somewhere.
Bok Nam rises should be on a list like this :( she was abused and cheated on (openly) by her husband. And when she finally gets revenge on everyone (or almost everyone that's wronged her. Her horrible best friend doesn't get what she deserves) she dies at the end of the movie :'( her best friend ends up reading all of the letters Bok Nam sent and feels awful for ignoring her pleas for help for YEARS. It made me really mad.
No one ever comments on this part of The Mist's ending. The woman that was on the truck at the end went into the mist earlier to find her children. They survived, but the others didn't.
@@braydenmunro2385 sorry for the late response, but if I remember correctly it ends with the girl waking up from her escape hallucination and as the camera backs out the creature things are closing in on her (I recommend actually looking up the British ending cause this probably left some details out 😅)
The Descent for me has one of my favorite movie endings of all time, meaning the second one where she escapes. I watched the original first and I was so angry that it was just her dreaming but I also at that point didn’t know that there was another version and the second time I saw it, it was the one where she got away and I was so so confused but pretty young and thought I was imagining it lol. When she gets away and leaves JunHoe behind though, it was like biting into a supreme pizza where the dude who made it for you thinks yah cute and it’s more topppings than they’re actually allowed to use or something idk; one of my biggest complaints about movies like that is the idea that almost being eaten by monsters together somehow makes like AWFUL, like truly terrible things somehow a bridge to forgiveness. Sarah said nah, and I said hella yah Sarah, NAH. Probably the most realistic ending I’ve ever seen ina movie that is so completely unrealistic.. (or is supposed to be said unrealistic, I however could imagine the entire plot being in a newspaper but whatever) anyway, hella yah Sarah, feed em that hoe 😤🧡🫣🫠 😂😂😂😂
Man I was so mad. Like I know their group has went through a lot but why give up after everything you just did to survive! Like well its coming so let's not keep trying to live! Let's just off our selves.
What's even worse about it is that it was definitely NOT the ending from the Stephen King Short story. David and the son, along with some others from the store, get out of the store and are sitting in a diner while the mist is still going on and David is writing about the experiences. That's how it ends. Much better than the movie 🙄
This is not just a list of horror films with messed up endings. This is a list of great must-see horror films. All of these films are a classics in their own right!!! There are definitely lists out there that try to give the "Best Horror Films of all Time" that don't have eight better movies than the ones found here. Great job.
Ok guys I’m not gonna lie The Decent is SUCH a good and scary movie. It starts off slow but as the movie goes on it gets pretty scary. Also if you do watch the first one make sure to watch the second one it’s really good as well!
Kinda missed the point of The Descent. Several times throughout the movie, she had flashbacks and nightmares about her daughter's death from the beginning of the movie. Then, after the final nightmare of leaving the cave and seeing Juno, she wakes up back in the cave with her daughter next to her, and if you pay attention, there are no more bones, it was all a hallucination, much like the first scene of the movie. She is all alone with her pain and her memory of her daughter. The movie is an allegory of the pain a mother feels when she loses her child.
@@electric_creeper I mean, not necessarily a goat, there's hundreds of Pagan deities and only some of them are related to goats. But we don't do human sacrifices
'The mists' movie ending was messed up and not even remotely what was written. the book ending would have been way better because it left a glimmer of hope, but a lot of doubt.
I love to rewatch movies over and over again. Especially horror movies, no matter how brutal or gruesome. But I refuse to rewatch "The Mist" anymore than I already have. That ending hurts every time.
Jules, dude, not gonna lie. I know 2020's been hell, and the last few days have been struggling for me (today especially) and your words at the end really helped me out.
I saw "Don't Look Now" as a child in the early 80s and it haunted me for years - it was always my favourite horror and still is one of the better that I've seen. Along with "Wickerman" it supercedes the other films on the list for sheer atmosphere and leaves a lasting impression..what is it about so many 70s films that have a certain quality that is rarely captured in modern cinema for all it's technological advantage?
honestly i love these types of movies where the main character doesn’t survive because in almost all movies no matter what happens you’ll know the main character will survive.
From what I've heard, Drag Me to Hell also has a very disturbing ending. As the title suggests, a poor woman is cursed with eternity in Hell after doing her job correctly
The end to Drag Me to Hell doesn't even fit with the rest of the film. It's more slap stick comedy horror than supernatural all the way through then the end comes and you aren't surprised by it just kind of pissed about it.
@@Thatonegirl989 I'm honestly glad to hear someone else saying that drag me to hell wasn't a good movie. I watched it with my aunt and neither of us liked it at all and we're both huge horror fans.
I love how the theme of the video was terrible and horrifying and hopeless endings to movies but then this guys outro is wishing us an amazing day because we deserve love and success.
@@nuzratafzeel7010 But the end ruined it for me. (SPOILER ALERT !!!) That old seventies style canard of a satanic cult supposed to explain everything, with no set up ? In the immortal words of Bill the Cat : Ack !
The Mist ending enraged me because apart from the irony of the military showing up, they could've waited until they were actually under attack by the monsters to kill themselves. It made no sense.
Why would they wait to be attacked in order to do so when they figured they’d be under attack anyway? Especially when the monsters could attack before they even get the chance to kill themselves if they had waited...
@@EvanBagwell theyre in a car the monsters can't just teleport through the glass windows. They'd see the monsters approaching. Its just cowardly and annoying. They didn't even try to stay alive.
Mist ending was brilliant because 1) it rewarded the people who actually decided to act morally and left the store to aid the woman finding her children. 2) showed how one should never surrender to hopelessness
@@hasbullahsays860 yea but you are meant to think about their cowardice. Remember the MC was too cowardly to brave going out into the mist to save the children and then at the end was too cowardly to think that humanity could triumph against the horrors and win the battle so he gave up.
I vote Eden lake. That movies’ ending fucked me up. The summary for the ending in the video doesn’t really show how screwed up it is. The kid is trying on our former final girl’s husbands’ glasses in the mirror and checks himself out. He thinks he’s pretty cool. Ugh.
@@khush1894 no, watch the film. Its a damn good horror film with a lot of good kills but trust me when i say this the Ending is worth sitting through the whole film
Yea I was gunna say the same. Pretty crazy and surprising how unoriginal a movie like that could be.. unfortunate :/ still love Midsommar tho, that and Hereditary are dope movies lol
As soon as I saw this title, I knew The Mist had to be included. That ending was beyond brutal and not at all the ending in the original story. I’ve told so many friends; just shut it off when they escape in the car. That’s it, the end, stop there, thank me later.
@@kameskidney9538 it literally ended with them driving. They stopped at a motel and the entire story was the dads account, written on some stationary at the motel. He ends it saying they were picking up a radio station so they’re headed that way. I liked that better; anxious and scared, but just a tiny bit hopeful.
@Reluctant Human obviously life doesn’t work that way, which is why people escape into fantasy via film. No one wants or needs more negativity in their lives but we could all use more love, happiness, kindness and hope. Lighten up sweetie.
I like to think in Martyrs, I like to think the thing the girl told the evil lady is: "Turns out there is a hell bad people go to get punished after death, so enjoy that."
Same, the movie is poorly written and made but the ending and the pictures were probably the most vile things that I have ever seen in a movie, maybe that's because I'm NOT the target audience and I'm a bit sensitive to r@#3 scenes but still.....
It’s really cool that horror movies are able to take a dark turn at the end, but as cool as that is I would be happier if they did what the clue movie does and have different endings, that way we could a good ending, the original ending, and maybe even the ‘worst possible outcome’ ending.
The Mist is great. Was really disturbed for a few days after first watching it. Surprised The Lodge isn't on this list. That's a truly messed up film with the same kind of ending.
I watched it 2 days ago, really good. The makeup artists did great work, except the arm part and the neck part in my opinion. You know what I'm talking about if you watched it
You love it? I didn't watch the whole movie cause when they lock that girl in the basement and constantly beating her I had enough..that was my first film that I had to stop and don't watch ever again..and when I found out how it ends I was lucky that I stopped watching the movie
Eden Lake is a perfect example on why being the tough guy isn’t always the solution. So many things could’ve been prevented if the boyfriend just listened to his girlfriend.
My survivial tips: 1: Never go alone always stick together with people 2:Always have a gun on you 3:Find a weak spot or a way to kill the killer 4:Always aim for the head 5:Always find the nearest ecape route 6:Always have a car started or a nearby transport like a helicopter 7:always think smart 8: Make every shot count 9:Always find the solution to whats going on 10:Make sure that its dead and be a hero
The hell. The Whicker Man is basically an evil version of Swedish midsummer. And yeah you SHOULD do that - narrator! Midsummer's celebrations are amazing. Kinda weird how there are now several movies etc about Midsummer being evil or whatever. It's the other way around, it's like the most wholesome thing. AND HOW COULD YOU NOT USE THE NIC CAGE VERSION?!?!
Wait wait wait, in the Descent she stabs Juno in the leg not because of her husband but because Juno stabbed Beth in the neck and leaves her for dead without saying anything and Sarah happens to find Beth dying. That’s why Sarah stabs her
The Mist kickstarted my elder sibling brain and I was so fuckin sad and appalled when the realization hit. My then partner and I had to take a few minutes to cool down after the fact, but the protagonist's screams are still in my head. And even Stephen King himself was shaken by the movie's ending. It's a lot and discretion is advised if you want to look up the full scene for yourself. It's a lot emotionally.
The movie Edge of Winter from 2016 actually has a pretty bleak ending because even discounting the fact that it’s left open what happens to Brad and Caleb both boys will still have to deal with the psychological trauma of the fact that they were held hostage and nearly murdered by their own father, the after effects of which would definitely be long lasting
The first “sleep away camp” film the acting wasn’t terrible but, it honestly had the most outrageous twist ending in a horror film I have ever seen. What an ending! I dk if the sequels are any good. I still need to check those out
3:35 I mean that’s not the worst thing that could happen… coming from a pagan I find your description of the Islanders activities as incredibly miss placed and bias
The only messed up thing about The Mist ending is how they took what would have a been a proper downer ending and turned it into contrived holywood bullshit. Just end it after the last gunshot.
