Gloomy, sad or bleak movie endings
Been thinking about this again lately after watching Damien (The Omen tv series). So time for a topic.
There are two main examples I'd like to use. If you've seen them, you know what I mean.
If you haven't, sorry but you should've seen those movies by now.
One's the one with the number and the box.
The other one's based on a Stephen King book.
What are your thoughts and opinions?
Personally I think a "bad" ending is often more suitable, more memorable, a lot more powerful and especially more interesting. And I'm not talking about simple endings where the monsters pops up one more time before the screen cuts to the credits. I'm talking about those clever ones like in the examples.
And something that pisses me off is when there's this all powerful, great, ancient evil whatever and it can be killed in a conventional way. I'm talking about you Evil Dead remake.
