Name a Movie With a More Shocking Ending Than The Mist

[Bourne101]

I fucking dare you. There is no other movie with a more shocking, depressing or sad ending than The Mist. Name one, I will be very surprised if you can convince me.

[athf1980]

Let me try.

American History X

[Rawlin67]

ok, do you want a more shocking ending, or a more depressed and sad ending? cuz at first you just said shocking, and ive seen plenty of those, but as for more depressed and sad, i havent seen many of those.

i feel bad for anyone who hasnt seen the mist yet. everyones just tossing around that it ends sadly and depressed, and if they havent seen it, its sorta ruined for them.

[Bourne101]

I guess I meant sad/depressing.

[Lindsey]

The last 5 minutes of the Six Feet Under series finale. Not a movie, but it was one of the most depressing/sad/fantastic/awesome ending I have EVER seen.

The Mist had an GREAT ending! My movie pick:

The Devil's Rejects. God that was amazing.

[dman476]

I don't know...I told my friend it was the bleakest ending I'd ever seen in any film.

Six Feet Under, like Lindsey mentioned, had a really sad ending -- but it was also very cathartic in a way, so I wouldn't even put the two endings in the same sentence (let alone category).

[therealjohng]

I can name hundreds of movies that have a better ending than the mist. But I'll just name one.


Se7en

[Brendan M.]

Is Night of the Living Dead still considered to have a shocking ending?

and depressing.... Hmmm.... Requiem for a Dream maybe? Or United 93?

[Bourne101]

I can name hundreds of movies that have a better ending than the mist. But I'll just name one.


Se7en

I didn't say better ending, I said more depressing, sad, shocking.

[Vash_4_Prez]

I didn't see the Mist yet, but I wanted to throw a movie out there anyway: Old Boy had the most twisted/sad ending I've seen in a long time.

[Frank the Tank]

In terms of being incredibly depressing and sad as well as shocking, the ending for Sympathy For Mr. Vengeance.

[WhatsInaName]

Haven't seen the Mist and some of the other ones mentioned, but Requiem for a Dream has a very, and I mean VERY, depressing ending.

Also, Arlington Road is worthy of mentioning in the depressing ending department.

[retlaw]

Bambi

[therealjohng]

I didn't say better ending, I said more depressing, sad, shocking.


my answer still applies.

[Bourne101]

my answer still applies.

If you think hundreds of films have a more depressing/sad ending than The Mist, no offense, but there is something wrong with that.

If you don't find that sad or depressing then wow, that's all I can say.

[notchreturns]

Se7en was more sad to me

[Hannibal21]

I do agree that The Mist has a VERY dark, depressing, and overall effective ending, it's certain the bleakest one to be seen in a horror movie of this decade (the only flaw being Thomas Jane's incredibly forced overacting), but there have definitely been equally and/or more impactful sad/depressing conclusions, consider the following....

Grave of the Fireflies (I almost couldn't bear it)
Chinatown
The Children Are Watching Us
Leaving Las Vegas
Midnight Cowboy
House of Sand and Fog
Winter Light
Boys Don't Cry
Million Dollar Baby
The Ice Storm
The Bicycle Thief
Pan's Labyrinth
Se7en
The Deer Hunter

etc. etc.

Hey dman.. I would love to hear your thoughts on this. I'm confused on the whole 'cathartic' part. When looking that up, it either has to do with shit or being 'emotionally beneficial'. :p

[dman476]

Hey dman.. I would love to hear your thoughts on this. I'm confused on the whole 'cathartic' part. When looking that up, it either has to do with shit or being 'emotionally beneficial'. :p
Has to do with "shit"? Really?

Well, not exactly what I meant lol.
It's more along the lines of 'emotionally beneficial' -- I guess the best way to put it is that you feel relieved. A show you love just ended, but in a really good way. You're happy but sad because of what's happening. I don't know if that makes sense or not.

It's not like the Mist where you know what happens to the characters -- in SFU they die natural deaths (most of the time) and it's not really supposed to be tragic, but you can cry and be sad AND happy.

Does that make any sense?

[Cop No. 633]

I'd recommend Of Mice and Men. One of the saddest endings of any film I've ever seen. The Mist left me feeling shocked and fucked up, but Of Mice and Men made me weep.

[Backstabba]

Oldboy.

[AceD]

Regarding SIX FEET UNDER, I think the ending was pretty cathartic for the viewer, but not for the characters (in contrast, THE MIST isn't any good for either party).

I feel like the end of THE MIST was shocking in the sense that not very many people could have predicted the entire ending sequence (whereas the endings of USUAL SUSPECTS, FIGHT CLUB, SIXTH SENSE, etc, are totally 'guessable' pretty early on).

SPOILERS FOR "THE MIST"

*****

That said, the ending of THE MIST teeters so dark that it threatens to damage the movie, I think. Personally, given what had come before, I didn't buy that the group would quit so quickly after running out of gas. I know Jane promised not to let the monsters get his kid, but it seems that he would have at least made a run for it as long as he could have. Maybe that's just me. All in all, I felt the ending had such a blatant stamp of intention to shock, rather than attention to story, that it made it emotionally empty, for me.

Oh on the subject of really depressing endings, we gots Menace II Society.

[Le_Big_Mac]

Requiem for a Dream

There are probably more I can't think of. The ending of The Mist was depressing, but at the same time it was really crappy.

[Lindsey]

Yes that completely made sense! Thank you dman. It was such a powerful
ending with so many emotions. I like the way you put it.

(I had to look up cathartic (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cathartic) BTW, so you could see where I got the 'shit' from. lol)

[dman476]

Awesome, glad we're on the same page Lindsey. :)

And that excrement page on wikipedia ("a cathartic") totally made me lol.
That was great, thanks for that.

Also, I agree with AceD in that it's more cathartic for the viewers, but I guess that's what is relevant.

I don't think any of the endings top The Mist here though (darkness-wise).
...especially Oldboy.

What were you thinking backstabba? ;)

Chinatown teeters on that edge, but doesn't come close...though I will admit it's quite depressing and effective too.


FINALLY,

I dislike the argument most people come up with (against liking the ending The Mist had). I don't mean to be disrespectful, if that's how I'm coming off, but I don't think you guys are seeing the bigger picture.

**SPOILER**

This whole movie, Jane and the few other characters were fighting from the supermarket because there was hope at the end. They thought once they got out it would be nice and clean. It takes them a LONG time to get out of the supermarket. Many deaths, lots of scares -- let's just say it wasn't fun for anyone. Not even the bugs.

So, they get out. He drives out and sees his wife was killed. There's # 1 -- what does he have to live for? They keep driving and driving. Out of gas. Large creatures are roaming the world, hellbent on killing. What's one gonna do? What's to guarantee that as soon as they walk out, those beings won't snap them up and tear them apart, painfully.
I've said it before and I'll say it again: Jane did the humane thing. He did give up, but only because there was nowhere else to go. He was given no choice. There's only so much a person can take (he wasn't Superman after all).

...

And then acknowleding that he had to give up but shouldn't have? That's the most painful thing of all. I can't think of any character having to endure a cruel-er fate.
It wouldn't surprise me if Drayton killed himself as soon as he could find a gun. :/

BTW, JANE was not over-acting.

[Mopar Fanatic]

Se7en The ending is the most depressing fucked up shit I'v ever seen. It really bothered me. It sent chills down my spine and I couldn't stop thinking about it for about three weeks.

[ListersParanoia]

I think this ending's "feeling" has been watered down a whole lot since we've all seen it so many times but the FIRST time you see it, it is enveloping. I seriously felt sick to my stomach and I never feel sick to my stomach. Just the weird left-field sucker punch to the gut. The callused way John just kinda shrugs it off "Oh he didn't know" uuuugh I wanna reach through the screen and kill him myself!!!

Well I knew it was gonna be bad from what I've heard from many people before seeing the movie. I also had an idea but it was nowhere near as bad. Especially when summerset tells mills that if we find who the killer is it's not gonna be a happy ending. There really is no words to describe how bad it is.

It is almost ludicrous to believe that one can acheive any real empathy or conection with a character in a horror film. I won't win any friends by saying this I know, but believe me when I say this is coming from a horror film fan from way back.

I watch horror for the thrill and the safe distress (like riding a roller-coaster) not for emotionally driven characters, pathos or anything that can normally be found in a well tailored dramatic film.

Before all of you get pissed off at me let me remind you that this entire thread is based on a question asking us for our opinion . . . this is mine . . . and like all opinions is subject to change after argument and debate.

I will definitely argue. It is definitely possible to achieve real empathy or connection with a character in a horror film. Look at truly great horror films such as The Shining and The Exorcist. By the end of the film you learn to love a lot of the characters, and hate to see some of them die. The Mist was written by Stephen King, and adapted by Frank Darabont, who both have a knack for making people connect and love the characters that are in the books and films. The Mist simply isn't just a slasher or monster gore fest in which we thrive to see the annoying, stupid characters get picked off one by one, until eventually the lead character ends up overcoming the killer, monster etc. The Mist is a dramatic, thrilling horror film that is extremely well made and the characters are so great and well developed. It is a bit of a character study, seeing how people react to deadly situations and how they can turn on each other. That's not exactly what The Mist was about, but it was definitely a big part of it. By the end of the film I loved the father (mostly because Thomas Jane is the man), I felt extremely bad for the kid for being in the situation, I loved the old woman and the other man that was in the car. I also loved a lot of the other characters that were killed before the ending. Then after getting to love the characters so much, the ending is extremely depressing, strong, emotional and sad because they are put in the worst situation a group of people could possibly be put in, and then we find out that if they had just held on a little longer they would have been saved. Just to know that the 5 members in the car could have been on the back of that army truck, but instead 4 of them are dead and one is weeping and in shock of the events that just occured. It's truely heartbreaking, and was so well done by Frank Darabont.

So with my prolonged rant, I think I have made the point that it is possible that one can acheive any real empathy or conection with a character in a horror film.

Being the big horror fan you are, surely you have seen horror films in which you end up loving the characters and truely hoping they won't die.

you have me on your side.

[Le_Big_Mac]

It is impossible for anyone who doesn't get too involved in a movie to have fear for characters in a horror movie. This is an age where horror moviegoers have been desensitized to the fact that any character could die at any point, and it's sort of instinctual to put one's self at a distance from the characters. Especially in a movie like this where all the characters almost completely just converse with themselves about "what must be done" (which isn't necessarily a destructive factor) and the only character with any real depth is the lady you just want them to kill half the movie. You can empathize with the characters, laugh at their jokes, think they're nice people, but you can't sympathize for them.

[auge_28]

Look at truly great horror films such as The Shining and The Exorcist . . .

The Shining: Lets assume we are talking about the Stanley Kubrick film.
I would argue that this is not a horror film. It seems to be more of a thriller about an emotionally unstable father whom has already shown a penchant for abuse . . . who looses his mind due in part to cabin fever . . . the only supernatural bit of this film that seems real is the two psychics . . . I will add that I may be wrong here as I don't understand the relevance of the photos at the end.

The Exorcist: This one is a lot tougher . . . this is true horror and one that I will agree to as a masterpiece of the genre. But I do not know if one film or even a small handful of them can prove me wrong . . . But this is a great first blow to my opinion.

Just off the top of my head, The Omen could also be added to that list. I see where you are coming from, and yes, in most cases characters in horror films are characters that audiences don't usually grow to like. But there are some horror films that have characters that audiences grown on and love.

Bourne101,

Whom in The Omen did you care about . . . and why?

If you are talking about the remake I wanted everybody in the film to die . . .

In the origenal, who were we supposed to care about . . . the son of the devil or his weak ass father?

His father, the mother. What do you mean "weak ass"? Because he didn't have the courage to kill his son? If so you must be joking.

[auge_28]

His father, the mother . . .

Ok, that’s the who. Know why?
What happened that made them so enduring to you. What in the narrative caused an emotional investment by you?

To me they seemed pretty shallow.


Oh, I meant “weak ass” in terms of his ability to get me to connect with him.

I havent seen a lot of these foreign movies mentioned but Seven kind of comes close. Unless theres another movie out there where a father shoots his eight year old son in the head along with 3 others only to realize seconds later it was completely fucking pointless, I think "the mist" takes the take. never has an ending been stuck in my head for so long from the mere shock of it.

[bigred760]

More depressing . . . Ran
More shocking . . . Se7en

I'll give you that The Mist's ending is f*cked up, but it's not the most I've ever seen.

The father shooting his son, and everyone else, was not the shocking part, but the fact that they were so close to being rescued.

And Se7en is more shocking because of how personal it became for John Doe. It didn't matter who did it (Brad Pitt? Are you kidding?); just that it was done.

[Le_Big_Mac]

I don't get what's so shocking about the ending to Se7en. Without even feint exposure to spoilers, I could tell what was in the box as soon as it showed up.

It still doesn't stop it from being a great finale though.

[auge_28]

The thing in the box was not shocking in the least . . . it was just another horror in a long line of horrors.

What was shocking and refreshing was Pitt's characters reaction and solution (trying to be vauge here) I thought his performance in this scene was terrific and realistic . . . the shocking part of this ending was that he did not take his partners advice and went with his heart . . . this same scene has been in dozens of movies with guys ending up taking there partners advice (damn hate being vague here, I hope this makes sense).

[Boner X-Ray]

If Thomas Jane was overacting, what was Brad Pitt doing?
Oh man, I almost shit reading this.

I think his acting is perfect in the last ten minutes. That's why it works so well.

Pitt's best peformance is in Se7en.

[God of War]

Pitt's best peformance is in Se7en.
Agreed. I also loved his performance in legends of the fall. Although many will disagree with me on that. I just love the character of Tristan. So torn between things and the end was quite sad. But well done.

For me, the Mist is quite shocking. To lose everything and more. And then have to live with that. Plus I thought this movie was very depressing. Top flick

[IHRTNJ]

25th Hour always did it for me...

[Hoosier91]

I'd say the ending to Terminator 3 was one of the saddest... but that might just be a joke. :)

And also Deep Impact was pretty sad to me too. First time I ever thought about how the world can really go to shit in such a short time.

what about 12 monkeys as a great performance for Pitt?

That also has an extremly sad ending.

[Sigur509]

I totally agree on Dancer in the Dark. That ending left me fucking drained.

[movie2cats]

Depressing- Gone Baby Gone. That was depressing.
Shocking- Oldboy. Whoa. Wrong. Just wrong.

Not knocking the Mist either. Loved the movie (and ending), but I was dared!

[Pride]

Although the majority of the movie wasnt that good, the ending of Bobby had me on the verge of tears. Same goes with those heartbreaking movies i.e. Hotel Rwanda, Schindler's List etc

[Homyrrh]

I'd be surprised if the ending of "Seven" wasn't already mentioned. I didn't come out of absolutely nowhere, but was rather clever. Much to my enjoyment at least.

[Homyrrh]

Depressing- Gone Baby Gone. That was depressing.
Shocking- Oldboy. Whoa. Wrong. Just wrong.

Not knocking the Mist either. Loved the movie (and ending), but I was dared!
I enjoyed and despised the "Gone Baby Gone" conclusion, then again these usually provide for the most memorable closings...

[p_gautam]

The Dark Knight.

Sorry, had to come up with something different, since practically every movie I could think of is already listed.

[CaptainGyro]

Somebody spoiled the ending of The Mist for me, so I didn't feel anything.
Probably the saddest I ever felt at the ending of a movie was One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. I know the very ending (with Chief ) left a somewhat positive note, but just before that it was pretty depressing.

[Tweek]

Shocking- Oldboy. Whoa. Wrong. Just wrong.
!

That movie was fucked up. Fantastic movie, but fucked up. Chilling...

Eraserhead was shocking as hell.

Have you seen David Cronenberg's The Fly? If not, I would highly recommend it, as I believe that film causes you to dare deeply for its characters. In fact, the movie does not work if you don't connect with them.

[Monotreme]

Six Feet Under, like Lindsey mentioned, had a really sad ending -- but it was also very cathartic in a way, so I wouldn't even put the two endings in the same sentence (let alone category).

I have to agree with dman and Lindsey in saying that the last 5 minutes of the finale of Six Feet Under cannot be put anywhere NEAR a sentence with ANYTHING else that has to do with film or television. It is so far beyond anything else ever comitted to celluloid, you have to see it to believe it.

That said, the ending for The Mist was fucking miraculous. I'd say rivals of it in terms of piss-you-off bleakness are House of Sand and Fog, Requiem for a Dream, and Dancer in the Dark. Indescribably depressing...!

[someguy]

If we're talking TV, I'll put up The Wire's finale for season 4. You'll pretty much be depressed for a week after watching it.

[blk_flower]

did anyone mention jacob's ladder

there's my pick for most shocking film ending ever and when you re-watch it all the shit that happens makes 100% sense.

[Homyrrh]

I wouldn't say 'The Mist' ended shockingly, so to say, just rather abruptly and irrefutably depressive.

[Sonny Corleone]

I fucking dare you. There is no other movie with a more shocking, depressing or sad ending than The Mist. Name one, I will be very surprised if you can convince me.

I accept your dare..

BOYS DON'T CRY has a much more sad and depressing ending. I felt the ending of it 10x more than The Mist.



**SPOILERS**

I mean, c'mon, who in their right mind would murder their son in that situation? 99.9% of people I'm sure would at least try to keep on going. The ending makes no sense. And then like what, 2 minutes after they see the big creature, the army has already cleared away everything?? Bullshit.

SPOILERS for The Mist





What the hell are you talking about? There was nowhere else to go, nothing else to do. They were stranded in the middle of nowhere with no supplies and no gas. What did you expect them to do, get out of the car and make a run for it? It was an absolutely, positively, entirely hopeless situation and David made a decision to spare the others the pain and torture of being eaten by the monsters. It makes perfect sense, if one loses all faith like the characters do in the end.

I accept your dare..

BOYS DON'T CRY has a much more sad and depressing ending. I felt the ending of it 10x more than The Mist.



**SPOILERS**

I mean, c'mon, who in their right mind would murder their son in that situation? 99.9% of people I'm sure would at least try to keep on going. The ending makes no sense. And then like what, 2 minutes after they see the big creature, the army has already cleared away everything?? Bullshit.


*SPOILERS*










Anyone who would want to spare their son from an extremely gruesome, horrible, sure fate.

Well it obviously wasn't an extremely gruesome, horrible, sure fate since they would have been rescued minutes later (which makes no sense because how did they clear all the monsters and mist in a minute?)

It wasn't, but they didn't know they were going to be rescued in a matter of minutes.

How about Mystic River?
That whole movie was depressing.

Heh, having watched The Mist, I say that Oldboy wins out on shocking and depressing.
