Most Tragic Horror Movie Endings Ever. Accepted storytelling theory teaches that there are only 3 types of conflict in storytelling: Man versus Man, Man versus Nature, and Man versus Himself (or herself, obviously). Horror fans assert that there are only a handful of different horror endings—one of which can be applied to every horror film. There’s “Everything’s Okay,” and “Everything seems okay…but isn’t!” Then there’s “Everyone is dead, but the horror is over,” and “Horror wins.” You may not even know which ending you’re getting, now that sequels are so common.

Horror purists will tell you that the best horror movies have bleak endings. Sure, it’s fun to see monsters get exploded or zombie hordes dispatched by plucky groups of survivors.

But we know that in real- life, as in horror, sometimes the most likely outcome is also the most tragic. Rampant spoilers for all movies mentioned, so beware! Here are the 2. 0 Insanely Bleak Horror Movie Endings That Will Haunt You For Life. Carrie. We refer here to the original, 1. Sissy Spacek version of Stephen King‘s debut novel.

The remakes of Carrie, though, have all had something of value to add. Carrietta White is as tragic as tragic figures come. Doomed from birth with a religious whackadoo for a mom, endlessly tormented by peers, and apparently forsaken by the God her mother wields like a club—it’s easy to argue that she never had a chance.

‘A Ghost Story’ & ’City of Ghosts’ Haunt Theaters This Weekend – Specialty Box Office Preview. After waiting all year I can now comment and tear down your top 25. For one, I think every movie you listed was pretty good, ALL EXCEPT the movie “Under The Skin”.

Even 4. 0 years after the film’s release, fans still argue whether or not Carrie White is the villain of the story. Whether you think Carrie is evil or just a nice girl pushed well beyond the breaking point, it cannot be denied that her story ends tragically. Sure, Carrie murdered her chief tormentor, Margaret.

But it’s not like she enjoyed it. The deaths of classmates, teachers, and even the gym coach who was kind to her—all had essentially no meaning; they’re just more victims of a rage- fueled rampage.

Nearly everyone ends up dead at the end of this sad tale, and those who lived are sure to be forever haunted by their time with Carrie. The Host. If you ask a horror fan, they’ll likely tell you that the best reason to watch foreign horror movies is that they’ll kill anyone. In the US, it’s easy to get used to the, shall we say Spielbergian approach to family films. We want the heroes to live, the villains to die, and the final girl to be rescued at the last possible moment. That’s good cinema, right? But see, horror doesn’t always work that way.

Its purpose isn’t to make you feel good about life, hopeful for the future, or confident that the hero will make it out alive. There’s plenty of Asian horror that we didn’t have room for on our list.

Audition, for example, or Ringu. Nor was there space for similarly themed monster or aliens movies like Honeymoon. The Host is a must- include, because we want the girl to live so badly. When she doesn’t, we wonder if there was ever a point to fighting the monster in the first place. Oculus. The small cast and simple setting of Oculus definitely belie its emotional impact. Viewers really root for Kaylie and Tim, two adult siblings whose lives have been one tragedy after another—all because of a cursed mirror.

Future is AOP & PPA Digital Publisher of the Year and BMA Media Company of the Year. Gizmodo UK is part of Future plc, an international media group and leading. It: Chapter One, commonly known simply as It, is a 2017 American supernatural horror film directed by Andy Muschietti, based on the 1986 novel of the same name by. Freddy Vs. Jason Online Putlocker. A Twist Ending that serves no purpose other than to be excessively cruel. The Cruel Twist Ending is basically the Evil Counterpart of the Karmic Twist.

Dangerous, even deadly mirror stories are nothing new, not since Lewis Caroll anyway. Oculus follows this brother- sister duo over key moments in their lives, and details their plan to capture evidence of, and destroy the cursed mirror before it can cause any more damage. The tragedy in this story comes predominantly from the careful planning that the siblings, especially Kaylie, employ.

They use multiple cameras to capture every second. They’re careful, mindful, honest, and cautious the entire time. So when the worst possible chain of events occurs, we know that there was nothing that could have stopped it. These two didn’t deserve what happened to them, but that wasn’t enough to save them either. An American Werewolf in London. There’s much to enjoy about this surprise hit lycanthrope movie from the heart of the ’8. There’s a fine and increasingly gruesome performance by Griffin Dunne, a first- rate, practical effects- driven werewolf transformation, and a bunch of horrific murders.

It’s also got a killer soundtrack and an adorable romance between David Naughton and Jenny Agutter, plus a blink- and- you’ll- miss- it appearance by Rik Mayall as a patron at the Slaughtered Lamb pub. American Werewolf in London may correctly be called horror- comedy, since there’s a ton of wry humor. That’s why it’s all the more shocking when the lead character is gunned down in the street like…well, like a dog. It’s a horrendous ending to the life of a character we’d all come to like by that point. David and his friend were unlucky enough to be attacked by a wolf, and neither made it through alive. At the very least, it seemed that the lycanthropy curse ended with David. The less said about the sequel, the better.

Invasion of the Body Snatchers. There are two exceptional versions of this sci- fi- horror classic.

We think the 1. 97. The Invasion of the Body Snatchers films also carry powerful thematic messages about conformity, political ideation, us- versus- them mentality, and the perils of studying botany. Watch Bol Putlocker#. The idea of alien plants descending on us isn’t as far- fetched as we may like to think.

In fact, some say it’s downright likely. Whether you’re rooting for Kevin Mc.

Carthy or Donald Sutherland, get ready for intense disappointment. Terrorized children, distant spouses, and a slow, creeping burn set the scene for the final moments of these films.

Mc. Carthy winds up alone, screaming down the street that everyone should run, that they’re next. Heedless, they treat him like a crazy person. Mc. Carthy is still running around screaming when the 1. Invasion of the Body Snatchers begins.

It ends when Veronica Cartwright discovers that her last friend in the world has been assimilated. Drag. 1. 5. Apollo 1. Regardless of genre, it’s always tragic when everybody dies. There was a Star Wars movie like that once, and it was incredible.

Tragic, but incredible. Any movie that takes place outside the Earth’s atmosphere is likely to offer more chances to die a brutal or horrible death.

When just outside your door is an airless vacuum, staying inside seems like the only smart choice. The 2. 01. 1 movie Apollo 1. US hasn’t made another return trip to the surface of the moon after the Apollo program ended. In short: monsters. Little spidery ones, in fact. But that’s not the worst of it.

In Apollo 1. 8, astronauts are sent to confront dangers they haven’t been told about, and their government was fully prepared to abandon them on the moon if things don’t go well. Tragic as it is that none of the astronauts survive (we really like them by the end), the betrayals are far more difficult to content with.

It’s a small but powerful film. The Pit and the Pendulum. The films made by American International in the ’6. Audiences still love Vincent Price as a kind but tormented anti- hero constantly falling victim to one unfortunate circumstance or another. In this case, Price is Nicholas of the house Medina, Don of a fine old family. His wife has recently died and Nicholas is far from over it. As the story progresses, a dark family secret is revealed…one that has already taken hold of Nicholas.

Where the tragedy lies at the end of this 1. Francis Barnard is almost killed, and the doctor dies a quick death—quicker than he deserved, perhaps. Nicholas, through no fault of his own, is quite insane before falling to his own death. That’s a tragedy. And awful as she is, seeing Medina’s deceitful wife left in the iron maiden? There’s a certain poetic justice to that.

But what an awful way to die. Alien Trilogy. The Alien series is one that even the most ardent fans can’t seem to agree on. For some, the first three films make a perfect trilogy with a beautifully tragic ending.

As a trilogy, the Alien series is a tremendous accomplishment that straddles genre. It’s horror. It’s sci- fi. By the third installment, it’s an epic drama, an action masterpiece.
