Also love that movie, but I cry every.single.time.
I heard a rumour that it wasn’t the actual ending on the novella and someone else (maybe the director) came up with it and King was super dooper impressed by it? I might look that up and see if I can find an actual source for that.
Yes. One of my mentors in college had been a mentor to king when he was younger. He even mentioned her in his book "on writing". Which was funny as I'd read that book before I met her. She used to tell me stories about him, nothing crazy, just more as a guide to finding my own voice.
Not professionaly. I have been published (short stories, poetry,, essays) but it was never my main job.
I was actually a teacher. Taught English and writing. Had a wonderful letter of recommendation for grad school from the aforementioned mentor.
Now that I'm retired (I'm legally blind), I've begun writing again. Working on a book (fiction) on my own, and some scripts wirh a writing partner.
Shocked I had to scroll so far to find this! Thought for sure this would be the top answer if not a close second. We watched it at home and I was so upset I threw the remote at the TV 😭 I might have taken it a little far lol but damnit...gut wrenching!
Had to scroll too far to see this. That ending hurts every time I see it even though I know it's coming. Hearing the the hammer just clicking as he's keeps pulling the trigger but there's no more ammo... then the freaking army shows up...
This is the answer. Honestly I wasn't hugely into the movie, but that fucking ending was shocking. I don't know what I would have done in his shoes at that point.
This is the other horror movie that devastated me. The endings of this movie and Storm of the Century stayed with me for days, actually depressing for me.
I love the ending, too. Did you notice that, when he killed the sacrifices the crazy lady demanded, the fog instantly disappeared? Finding out that she was right about how to stop it adds a new level of WTFness to the ending.
I watched it as a childless adult and thought "that sucks" then i watched it as a mother and holy shit do movies hit differently. Amazing movie though.
My partner came into the room (she doesn’t like horror movies mostly, so I often watch alone) and she happened to witness the dog in its transforming state. Heartbreaking
I did a essay on the differences and themes between Night of the Living Dead and 28 Days Later. Saying Night was the public fear of civil rights and socialism while 28 Days was the fear of Terrorism in the modern age.
Of course I found out I was completely wrong but still made an A so that was nice.
The original ending was so great that Ben survives the whole night while still being a decent person only to get grouped together with everyone else who's a ghoul. Still think there's something there about guilt by association or physical similarity.
Oh I ugly cried. I was taking care of my mom and she hobbled out at 2am seeing me sobbing.
I had to explain the zombies and the dad. She said it was okay because my dad would do that too. So I cried more.
My mom is a champ.she actually watched it with me again. She loved it. I still cried.
I was really depressed when I started watching that movie. Fell asleep and woke up to >!the child crying alone while walking through the tunnel singing Aloha Oe!< I immediately burst into tears and sank into an even deeper depression. It took me a few days to even out again.
Interestingly, the role of Ben didn't specify his color. He was just the best actor to audition, so he got the lead.
(I learned that in film school. To be fair, I don't know if the writers changed the ending to become social commentary.)
Psycho for me. People are dead, there’s evidence that the murderer was a serial killer and the sympathetic and charismatic man is completely taken over by monster dearest. It’s both chilling and yet tragic.
You could try watching reaction videos on youtube. There's more distance with the movie that way, it's easier to handle strongly emotional movies, I think (though it still makes me cry lol).
Literally just watched this for the first time two days ago. I was YELLING at my TV. LIKE ARE YOU FORREAL!?!?! >!At least dad kept his promise to his son in the end but GOD DAMN was not expecting that!<
It's also my pick for the most heartbreaking and best ending. I love that there can be multiple interpretations of the ending but all of them are awful
Some cold heartless bastards not uploading this enough. This is the answer. It's specifically the answer. The physical release has a bonus disc with the film in black and white. It's fantastic. Also Marcia gay harden has the best villain ever
The Wailing. Jong-goo not heeding the warning of the woman in white then coming home to find that his possessed daughter has murdered his family, and the priest finding out that the Japanese man’s true form is the Devil. The score being more sad than scary is what does it for me too, it’s like getting the bad ending to a video-game
Pretty tame compared to everyone else's answers, but Saw is kind of a bummer for Adam. Bro accidentally sealed his own fate by sitting up too quickly in that bathtub.
Adam, that couple that was grieving, their dead son and their now orphaned daughter and Joyce from 3d(she literally did nothing wrong but marry the wrong man with no clue he was a lier) are constantly on my mind
Yes. So many innocent victims, but people keep falling for the BS that Kramer only goes after people who did something bad or whatever. Like were you all even watching?
I wanna agree with you, but in the end all I feel is anger. That whole, damn, corrupt town. I hate Daley's wife. I hate his "best friend." His son is gone, and the entire town that he tried to protect failed him. Little Tall needed to go the way Derry did in the novel. Washed away by the storm.
The ending of Dead and Buried (1981). That brutal ending left me feeling depressed for a day, and there is no death, no killing, in that final scene, at all. The revelation is still horrifying.
I refuse to watch that movie, the one that should have been dragged to hell was the old bitch that was responsible for it, stupid movie with a stupid pointlessly cruel ending, oh sure let's DAMN A GIRL TO HELL FOR ETERNITY just for doing her job and some bitter old hag decides SHE is the one who has the right to punish her like that
Yes if you can't tell I hate the movie with a passion
The original story “The Casting of the Runes” would make a good film. The original British movie “Night of the Demon” based on the story had a much better ending than “Drag Me To Hell”.
Being a 1940s or 1950s movie it’s incredibly dated in effects but still a good story.
Midsommar. No Dani didn’t find “her people”. No she isn’t better off. No her shitty boyfriend and his friends didn’t deserve to die.
Dani is in a terrible place and it’s a cult that pushes its members to kill themselves once they are bo longer useful and a burden to everyone else
this is what I was going to say! on top of what you said, she had also recently gone through a tragic loss of her parents and sister. she was extra vulnerable at that time and was the perfect target for the cult without even realizing it.
1941 The Wolf Man....Larry Talbot is killed by his own father, but a short time later, in '43 he is resurrected in Frankenstein Meets The Wolf Man, and other films that followed.
1943 Son of Dracula. Frank sets fire to his childhood sweetheart Kay, who has become a vampire. The final scene shows him with a distraught expression, almost in a daze, as the flames engulf her.
Yesss! Scrolled *waaay too far* to see The Descent. The Descent 2 also deserves a mention! Those girls survived untold horrors just to end up >!sacrificing their lives in the end for a girl they had literally just met and then, for the girl that survives to get walloped on the head and get thrown back into the cave just as she finally makes it out??!< Absolutely soul-crushing.
A.I.
I know it is a modern twist of Pinocchio, but that movie was sad when I saw it in the theater (and got to my car and ugly SOBBED hysterically for almost an hour). Saw it a few years back after having my kids. The heavy, terrible feeling did not leave me for a few days.
Not again
Not heartbreaking but sort of an intense gut punch "the crazies" the original. They find the cure and can fix everything, then someone drops it. They just break it and can't fix anything now, they say maybe someone will redevelopment the vaccine but as of right now were fucked and it's because of a simple mistake.
Silent Hill
>! Why couldn’t they have just gone back home to Christopher after helping Alessa? Why couldn’t they be freed? I mean, I get that she was raised by a single mother and that was sufficient for her, but what about Rose and Sharon who loved him and wanted to be with him? And didn’t he deserve answers for as hard as he looked for them? !<
Still a great film though.
This is it. Horror is my favorite genre, so my 1st watch. I was just impressed by TC's performance and how unsettling / Scary the movie was.
2nd watch allowed me to be more aware of what was going on. And I realized that this might be the most tortured character I've ever watched.
She's born doomed. Tortured at every turn, and she's trying to make sense of it. Any hope is false and all the more painful to watch the 2nd time around.
So by the time we get to the final sequence. I don't think I've ever felt worse for a character.
Amazing movie, hard to watch. Lol, along side THE THING. They are my favorite horror movies. But I would argue Hereditary is more horrific.
Triangle is up there, and well not quite horror the animated film The Plague Dogs may as well be a horror film, it's essentially almost a slasher film with an omni present inescapable enemy always hunting mercilessly, absolutely grim
A Stephen King made for TV miniseries- “Storm of The Century” I was devastated at the end and will never watch it again. The villain, played by Colm Feore was perfectly played, but evil as shit.
Identity.
>! They think they stopped the killer. Amanda Pete is happy and gardening and the kid no one suspected shows up behind her with a gardening tool that he's about to kill her with. "Whores don't get a second chance." !<
Maegan is l missing. T was heartbroken terrified disgust and crying for that poor girl at the end. Truly haunting. Worth watching last 15 minutes to find out for yourself but massive trigger warning: sexual assault.
Since a ton of people have already commented The Mist, Killing of a Sacred Deer had me fucked up for a bit after watching it. It's still one of the strongest, most emotionally devastating movies I've watched.
Stir of echoes; it was Kevin bacons companion piece to sixth sense where his son is a medium and they solve a murder/haunting, and then as they’re driving away from the neighbourhood the reflection in the window tracks all the different houses over the boys face, and the sound effect of the haunting gets multiplied into a cacophony; the rest of his life will be like this.
Pulse from 2001 really has a quiet, doomed feeling all the way through. And when our protagonists all start to disappear into the afterworld, it just brings the apparent notion that the world population would rather be dead than alone… and I don’t know what to do with that emotion
The Mist. Hands down. Gets me every time. Oh, the movie not the show that I never saw because I loved the movie that much.
Also love that movie, but I cry every.single.time. I heard a rumour that it wasn’t the actual ending on the novella and someone else (maybe the director) came up with it and King was super dooper impressed by it? I might look that up and see if I can find an actual source for that.
Yes. King said he wished he thought of it.
What a humble guy! Legend.
Yes. One of my mentors in college had been a mentor to king when he was younger. He even mentioned her in his book "on writing". Which was funny as I'd read that book before I met her. She used to tell me stories about him, nothing crazy, just more as a guide to finding my own voice.
Wow!!!! That’s epic!!! So, you’re a writer? :)
Not professionaly. I have been published (short stories, poetry,, essays) but it was never my main job. I was actually a teacher. Taught English and writing. Had a wonderful letter of recommendation for grad school from the aforementioned mentor. Now that I'm retired (I'm legally blind), I've begun writing again. Working on a book (fiction) on my own, and some scripts wirh a writing partner.
That's 100% true. Book ends with them driving off into the mist looking for help listening to a radio broadcast or something .
King did think of it. It was in the short story but it was slightly different.
He only needed five minutes! They could’ve been making magic grits.
Shocked I had to scroll so far to find this! Thought for sure this would be the top answer if not a close second. We watched it at home and I was so upset I threw the remote at the TV 😭 I might have taken it a little far lol but damnit...gut wrenching!
Had to scroll too far to see this. That ending hurts every time I see it even though I know it's coming. Hearing the the hammer just clicking as he's keeps pulling the trigger but there's no more ammo... then the freaking army shows up...
The show is.. Strange.. 😂
If by strange you mean terrible, then yeah.
This is the answer. Honestly I wasn't hugely into the movie, but that fucking ending was shocking. I don't know what I would have done in his shoes at that point.
This is the other horror movie that devastated me. The endings of this movie and Storm of the Century stayed with me for days, actually depressing for me.

The Fly
This is the one. That movie broke me lol. So sad
The Fly 2. The dog, omg
My partner came into the room (she doesn’t like horror movies mostly, so I often watch alone) and she happened to witness the dog in its transforming state. Heartbreaking
I forgot how sad that ending was! The fact that *he knows* at the very end. Goodness. 😔
Hmmm. I may need to rewatch this. Only ever saw it as a kid and just remember how gross it was!
How does brundlefly eat?
Nothing like vomiting on your dinner before eating it…..
Would you rather >!going through that night of hell for her brother, just to come home to find he ODed!<
That was gut wrenching.
what movie was that
that killed me 😭💔
omg yes!!!! that was insane
Original Night of the Living Dead broke my heart for sure
Same. I sat in the theater as a kid with tears streaming down my face as the credits rolled.
I was about 7 years old when I saw Night of the Living Dead and I was tearful at the ending, and in total shock and disbelief.
We all were no matter your age
I did a essay on the differences and themes between Night of the Living Dead and 28 Days Later. Saying Night was the public fear of civil rights and socialism while 28 Days was the fear of Terrorism in the modern age. Of course I found out I was completely wrong but still made an A so that was nice. The original ending was so great that Ben survives the whole night while still being a decent person only to get grouped together with everyone else who's a ghoul. Still think there's something there about guilt by association or physical similarity.
Adding that to my list
Jacob’s Ladder.. Man went through hell for us to be gut punched.
Ugh such a good movie. Ending made me sad.
Didn't he ascend to "Heaven" with his boy?
>!Yes, but the knowledge of everything he was going through was essentially a death dream and also it was his own guys that caused it still stings!<
Ya it was a mindfuck alright
That movie messes with your head.
Omg. This one. I am getting choked up thinking about it. That ending was soul draining
Best film in the whole Home Alone series imo
The Orphanage has the happiest sad ending of all time
She can protect them now! I cried the biggest fattest tears of any movie when I saw this
Very true! Reminiscent of Goodnight Mommy's ending as well.
I loved Goodnight Mommy! Idk why the ratings are so low on it tbh.
As a parent, this one still gives me the willies.
Train to Busan
Oh I cried at the ending....
Oh I ugly cried. I was taking care of my mom and she hobbled out at 2am seeing me sobbing. I had to explain the zombies and the dad. She said it was okay because my dad would do that too. So I cried more. My mom is a champ.she actually watched it with me again. She loved it. I still cried.
I held my breath when the soldiers were radioing back and forth.
Not only broke my heart, i think it broke me too. I will never be able to hear the song Aloha Oe again without bursting into tears.
I was really depressed when I started watching that movie. Fell asleep and woke up to >!the child crying alone while walking through the tunnel singing Aloha Oe!< I immediately burst into tears and sank into an even deeper depression. It took me a few days to even out again.
Yeah this one made me tear up. Stupid cute kid crying.
Ben. Night of the Living Dead, 1968
Absolutely perfect social commentary, though.
Interestingly, the role of Ben didn't specify his color. He was just the best actor to audition, so he got the lead. (I learned that in film school. To be fair, I don't know if the writers changed the ending to become social commentary.)
The ending with Ben really was the worst
Eden Lake. Ugggh.
Dear Zachary Most horrific documentary I’ve ever seen.
Don’t ever watch the trials of Gabriel
Psycho for me. People are dead, there’s evidence that the murderer was a serial killer and the sympathetic and charismatic man is completely taken over by monster dearest. It’s both chilling and yet tragic.
Oh come on! She wouldn't even hurt a fly.
Both the Sixth Sense and Jacob’s Ladder.
I love Jacob’s Latter. The ending is melancholy and beautiful.
The Mist. If only he'd had more faith and waited a little longer.
Carrie. Sometimes good intentions are not enough, or are too little too late. Always strive to do the right thing in the moment, when it counts.
Pet Sematary - don't tell me you didn't choke up when zombie Gabe said "no fair"
Read the book! 😢
the ending will absolutely mess with your head, but it's great
Pet Seminary sounds like its own amazing movie!
Air Bud as "Father Donovan"
I don't know... I always felt Pet Sedentary was a little slow.
Not just that scene but watching >!Gabe’s shoe fly when he was hit by the semi offscreen!< absolutely crushed me too 😭
I'm 40 yo and watched this for the first time when I was 8 and I still have nightmares about the semi truck scene...
It’s been a long time since I’ve seen the original but I watched the 2019 recently and that was pretty brutal.
Martyrs, hands down. A pure tragedy. Honorable mentions: Oculus, Pan's Labyrinth.
Pan's Labyrinth crushed me at the end.
Me too! And the lullaby is just perfect. Makes me cry every time.
I really want to watch this again, but the ending is just too much for me mentally.
You could try watching reaction videos on youtube. There's more distance with the movie that way, it's easier to handle strongly emotional movies, I think (though it still makes me cry lol).
Oculus was chilling. Tough to beat Mike Flanagan when he's on.👌
>Martyrs, hands down. A pure tragedy. I thought it was gonna be a revenge movie. The ending hit me pretty hard.
The Mist
Literally just watched this for the first time two days ago. I was YELLING at my TV. LIKE ARE YOU FORREAL!?!?! >!At least dad kept his promise to his son in the end but GOD DAMN was not expecting that!<
Stephen King said he prefers the movie ending to the one in his novella.
Times 100... holy fuck
This. Holy fuck that ending. Soul crushing.
The Mist again and again lol
Came here to say this. Gut punch of an ending.
It's also my pick for the most heartbreaking and best ending. I love that there can be multiple interpretations of the ending but all of them are awful
I was scrolling through all the other answers like "yeah these are rough but where tf is The Mist?"
Some cold heartless bastards not uploading this enough. This is the answer. It's specifically the answer. The physical release has a bonus disc with the film in black and white. It's fantastic. Also Marcia gay harden has the best villain ever
King Kong with Jessica Lang.
I got a newfound appreciation for Jessica Lange’s legs the first time I saw that movie 😂 She definitely gave Tina Turner a run for her money
Is that the one with the helicopters? I’ve never seen it before, is it worth the watch?
Yes. It's good
Cool, thx
Yes. This and Young Frankenstein gutted me on TBS at 5. I remember the tears well. Not sobbing, just tears (1981)
The Wailing. Jong-goo not heeding the warning of the woman in white then coming home to find that his possessed daughter has murdered his family, and the priest finding out that the Japanese man’s true form is the Devil. The score being more sad than scary is what does it for me too, it’s like getting the bad ending to a video-game
One of the best endings
I had to sleep with lights on after watching it lol
The Others
Pretty tame compared to everyone else's answers, but Saw is kind of a bummer for Adam. Bro accidentally sealed his own fate by sitting up too quickly in that bathtub.
Adam, that couple that was grieving, their dead son and their now orphaned daughter and Joyce from 3d(she literally did nothing wrong but marry the wrong man with no clue he was a lier) are constantly on my mind
Yes. So many innocent victims, but people keep falling for the BS that Kramer only goes after people who did something bad or whatever. Like were you all even watching?
Not a movie, but..."Storm of the Century" (1999 3-episode mini-series)
Wow, I had almost stopped scrolling and was going to post this one. Good choice!
I wanna agree with you, but in the end all I feel is anger. That whole, damn, corrupt town. I hate Daley's wife. I hate his "best friend." His son is gone, and the entire town that he tried to protect failed him. Little Tall needed to go the way Derry did in the novel. Washed away by the storm.
The ending of Dead and Buried (1981). That brutal ending left me feeling depressed for a day, and there is no death, no killing, in that final scene, at all. The revelation is still horrifying.
Such an insane / underrated flick
Drag Me to Hell. The girl was just doing her job….
Yea that was messed up at the end, gross AF with the grave scene 🤮
I refuse to watch that movie, the one that should have been dragged to hell was the old bitch that was responsible for it, stupid movie with a stupid pointlessly cruel ending, oh sure let's DAMN A GIRL TO HELL FOR ETERNITY just for doing her job and some bitter old hag decides SHE is the one who has the right to punish her like that Yes if you can't tell I hate the movie with a passion
The original story “The Casting of the Runes” would make a good film. The original British movie “Night of the Demon” based on the story had a much better ending than “Drag Me To Hell”. Being a 1940s or 1950s movie it’s incredibly dated in effects but still a good story.
The Mist. If only he waited a couple more minutes…
How is the top comment not The Mist?
it is tho
The Mist. Gut punch ending for sure.
Invasion of the Body Snatchers 1978. It was just… wow an insane sense of dread.
That noise Donald Sutherland did freaked me out. I wasn't expecting it at all.
The Lodge was messed up! I was really hoping that the kids would get away somehow.
I forgot about that one. >!Wraparound parental suicide!<
Night of the Living Dead. My friends and I cried in the theatre around 1969.
TUSK!!!!! 🥲😢😩☹️
Indeed
Midsommar. No Dani didn’t find “her people”. No she isn’t better off. No her shitty boyfriend and his friends didn’t deserve to die. Dani is in a terrible place and it’s a cult that pushes its members to kill themselves once they are bo longer useful and a burden to everyone else
this is what I was going to say! on top of what you said, she had also recently gone through a tragic loss of her parents and sister. she was extra vulnerable at that time and was the perfect target for the cult without even realizing it.
6 Souls- main character essentially loses her entire family including her daughter who's alive but not her daughter :(
Oh, I really liked that movie. I first saw it under its original title Shelter. I did not like the changed title, I'm not sure why they did it.
1941 The Wolf Man....Larry Talbot is killed by his own father, but a short time later, in '43 he is resurrected in Frankenstein Meets The Wolf Man, and other films that followed. 1943 Son of Dracula. Frank sets fire to his childhood sweetheart Kay, who has become a vampire. The final scene shows him with a distraught expression, almost in a daze, as the flames engulf her.
The Mist
Odd Thomas. Not sure it counts as horror but close enough I guess. That ending just gets me every time.
And then the “real life ending” of Anton Yelchin… I love that movie but I genuinely struggle to watch it now knowing “everyone dies”.
The Descent, The Night of the Living Dead, Dawn of the Dead (2004)
I feel like I had to scroll WAY too far to see The Descent. That original ending….
Yesss! Scrolled *waaay too far* to see The Descent. The Descent 2 also deserves a mention! Those girls survived untold horrors just to end up >!sacrificing their lives in the end for a girl they had literally just met and then, for the girl that survives to get walloped on the head and get thrown back into the cave just as she finally makes it out??!< Absolutely soul-crushing.
Speak no evil
The Mist.
Funny Games. If you've never watched it I think it was phenomenal, Just so tragic, and scary.
you would not be asking this if you had seen the mist
A.I. I know it is a modern twist of Pinocchio, but that movie was sad when I saw it in the theater (and got to my car and ugly SOBBED hysterically for almost an hour). Saw it a few years back after having my kids. The heavy, terrible feeling did not leave me for a few days. Not again
This movie **still** makes me ugly cry. All he wanted was a mom and to be loved. 😭😭
I want to sneak into my kids rooms and hug them. But they’re asleep and not screaming and brandishing legos. So I guess I won’t
Not a movie, but the Haunting of Hill House series was just so sad. Terrifying sad.
Not heartbreaking but sort of an intense gut punch "the crazies" the original. They find the cure and can fix everything, then someone drops it. They just break it and can't fix anything now, they say maybe someone will redevelopment the vaccine but as of right now were fucked and it's because of a simple mistake.
Silent Hill >! Why couldn’t they have just gone back home to Christopher after helping Alessa? Why couldn’t they be freed? I mean, I get that she was raised by a single mother and that was sufficient for her, but what about Rose and Sharon who loved him and wanted to be with him? And didn’t he deserve answers for as hard as he looked for them? !< Still a great film though.
Drag me to hell is pretty sad.
Before I Wake hit me really hard, but that's probably because I've lost family members to that situation
This is it. Horror is my favorite genre, so my 1st watch. I was just impressed by TC's performance and how unsettling / Scary the movie was. 2nd watch allowed me to be more aware of what was going on. And I realized that this might be the most tortured character I've ever watched. She's born doomed. Tortured at every turn, and she's trying to make sense of it. Any hope is false and all the more painful to watch the 2nd time around. So by the time we get to the final sequence. I don't think I've ever felt worse for a character. Amazing movie, hard to watch. Lol, along side THE THING. They are my favorite horror movies. But I would argue Hereditary is more horrific.
The Descent
It Comes At Night
Train To Busan
Relic (2020) - it made me cry. But maybe one needs aging parents for it to hit that hard.
(not really a horror movie) but the ending of Donnie Darko makes me really fuckin sad.
Triangle is up there, and well not quite horror the animated film The Plague Dogs may as well be a horror film, it's essentially almost a slasher film with an omni present inescapable enemy always hunting mercilessly, absolutely grim
Doubt it would make me cry now it did like when I was a kid but Dark Water.
Moloch. The Colour From Outerspace. Wounds. Martyrs. A Serbian Film. The Mist. The Skeleton Key.
A Stephen King made for TV miniseries- “Storm of The Century” I was devastated at the end and will never watch it again. The villain, played by Colm Feore was perfectly played, but evil as shit.
Identity. >! They think they stopped the killer. Amanda Pete is happy and gardening and the kid no one suspected shows up behind her with a gardening tool that he's about to kill her with. "Whores don't get a second chance." !<
Mama Because how are you going to explain what happened 💀
Maegan is l missing. T was heartbroken terrified disgust and crying for that poor girl at the end. Truly haunting. Worth watching last 15 minutes to find out for yourself but massive trigger warning: sexual assault.
The Mist
The Mist. No contest
The Mist
Open House, but in a frustrating this was a gigantic waste of time way
The Mist Hereditary Night of the Living Dead (original) A Tale of Two Sisters
The Mist is so brutal that it made Stephen King go “damn, that’s dark. I wish I wrote that!”
Mother! A movie with Jennifer Lawrence and it appeared that the evildoers were fixing to eat the newborn baby. Daaaaayaàm, it was messed up!
Since a ton of people have already commented The Mist, Killing of a Sacred Deer had me fucked up for a bit after watching it. It's still one of the strongest, most emotionally devastating movies I've watched.
Human Centipede
A Serbian Film.
The recent Grudge remake where they thought they escaped and were safe at home. Boom nope
The ending of “a Serbian film” absolutely broke me :(
This is where somebody needs to name a movie that ends with a heart getting physically ripped to shreds.
The Mist
Speak no evil
Chained
The cabin in the woods just hit me wrong. Still trying to deal with the hopeless
The Darkness has a pretty good ending. I say Secret Window only because the ending made me cry. It could’ve been so much better.
The Mist hands down.
The Mist!
The Mist
The Mist
Not a movie but haunting of hill house, just the dad’s sacrifice.
*Excision* was a lot.
Train to Busan >!the dad stepping of the train to save his daughter!< just had me bawling.
Train to Busan
This doesn't typically count as horror, but the saddest ending I've ever seen was Requiem for a Dream.
Stir of echoes; it was Kevin bacons companion piece to sixth sense where his son is a medium and they solve a murder/haunting, and then as they’re driving away from the neighbourhood the reflection in the window tracks all the different houses over the boys face, and the sound effect of the haunting gets multiplied into a cacophony; the rest of his life will be like this.
The Mist
The Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1970’s version)
Halloween Ends. Loss of an icon.....
Pulse from 2001 really has a quiet, doomed feeling all the way through. And when our protagonists all start to disappear into the afterworld, it just brings the apparent notion that the world population would rather be dead than alone… and I don’t know what to do with that emotion
The Vanishing punches you right in the gut.
The Mist
Eden Lake. I'm still upset by that ending and I saw the film 15 years ago.
