Movies with sad endings
 

What horror movies did you think had really sad endings.

I don't mean like, the original NOTLD, where the guy got shot at the end, i mean like......... whatever you thought was sad :rolleyes:


I thought the very end to Silent Hill was pretty sad, once you realize the truth.

Re: Movies with sad endings
 

Haha yeah I laughed.

I also laughed at the end of The Skeleton Key.

Suckers.

Requiem for a Dream

Not horror, but I was on the verge of tears at the end of Edward Scissorhands

Audrey Rose

I almost cried at the end of "The Village"...$7.50 x 4 plus drinks and popcorn...fucking heartbreaking.

I actually felt bad at the end of "The FunHouse"...poor misunderstood deformed oddity, just wanted to get laid.

The Devil's Rejects

i ddint find it to be all that sad, because they went down fighting, plus it was well deserved, and everyone knows it. it was sad when Wydell got killed, he was a bad ass.

yeah i just seen silent hill and the ending was pretty morbid:(

Sympathy for Mr. Vengence

Sad movie all around, but well worth the sadness.

Re: Movies with sad endings
 

It was certainly an unhappy ending, but that's what Silent Hill deserves. I'm gla they didn't wuss out and give it sappy happy ending.

Other unhappy endings(horror or otherwise):
Night Of The Living Dead(original)- stupid rednecks...
Cemetery Man- not really sure why, but it is...
American Beauty
One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest

"Acacia".

SPOILERS ALERT?, n00bs.



:eek:

i guess this whole thread is a spoiler alert now ..



Mystic River.


not much of a spoiler .. you know 15 minutes into this film that it wont have a happy ending..

I live near Boston, and I typically like anythign from Clint, but i oretty much couldnt stand this movie... probably too familiar with the mindless boston assholes like Sean Penn's character....

The end of Alien 3 is sad. that poor woman goes through so much, just to have her life end like that... I thought ressurection shit all over what was a beautiful tie-up to the end of the series.

Phantom of the Paradise.

well, i'll never be able to say i enjoyed the film .. i dont like feeling how this film made me feel .. frustrated, mad, helpless ..


but i certainly respect it for having the power to envoke those feelings in me ..

I will give it that....

it brings up a lot of what i hate about htis part of the country.

**************SPOILER ******************






the most painful part to me was tim robbins wife..

I dont recall that exactly.. i do remember it being bad, though


My all time worst part ever (i have posted this a dozen times) is Ed Harris (Bud Brigman) trying to revivie his wife in the Abyss.. Holy shit EVERY time i see that im a mess.

There is something about the strong male leads (especially someone like Ed Harris) cracking liek that that kills me... Kinda like Bruce WIllis getting all glassy eyed at the music on the radio in 12 Monkeys....

Doesnt hurt that they are 2 of my favorite actors.

yeah i like ed harris a lot too ..

that part of the abyss never got to me though ..

i was probably with my ex-wife at the time..

rewriet that scene for this situation.

*Brigman sits in sub for a half hour*

"Hey, this Coke is gonna be so cold after being in this water."

*Swims back to moon pool*

"Where's Lindsey?"

"Who? oh. She's dead. Back in the sub. i left the door open so somehting will eat her."

does he bring the cold coke with him ?

How heartless do you think he is?

Of course he brought the coke. He enjoyed it too. because, as you all know (at least if you are old enough to remember the 70s and 80s), Coke is IT.

diet coke is IT ..

the real stuff is too raunchy

first definition returned on a google search for "definition raunchy"

"earthy and sexually explicit; "a raunchy novel""


Wow. i should drink more coke.....

the earthy part is right ..

it tastes like it has dirt in it :p

I thought that "The Exorcism of Emily Rose" was a bit depressing,

and after watching "White Noise" i felt really hollow.

Yeah... white noise definately had a "Give up all hope. its gonna suck" ending.


Creeeeepy ass avatar, btw...

Easy Rider

Schindler's List

We all know that there's lots of non horror movies with sad endings, what other movies that are horror do you think were sad?

I disagree.

I think your logic would work in most cases. But that's the beauty of the film. We side with the monsters.

And I actually didn't like Wydell.

Eraserhead

i sure as hell didnt side with the scumbags ..

i wanted them to all die painfully and horribly.
was dissapointed that all they got was bullets - wanted to see them torn limb from limb.

I agree. One of the things I like most about the movie is that it makes you feel some sympathy for what you know are really bad people. I thing that's the mark of a good movie.

"In Heaven, everything is fine"

Didnt think it was a sad ending at all.

El Bola (Spain)

Plague Dogs, saddest ending ever. For me, not the characters. At least the dogs still had hope.

I may sound old, but I have two relatively dated movies which had -- what I would consider -- sad endings. Those are "Don't Look Now" and "Full Circle."

Effective flashbacks (especially of his wife and daughter) as well as the music made Don't Look Now's ending effective.

Full Circle's was eerie in one sense, and sad when you realize the torment Mia Farrow's character endured throughout the movie.

i really disliked dont look now. every time it's mentioned, i can only see donald Sutherland's skinny, hairy, naked ass. its kind of like biting into a bad pickle.. it just wont go away....
