SPOILERS
The very best surprise ending to a horror movie is the original Night of the Living Dead. 100% surprising the first time you see it. The poor guy survives the night from hell (literally) and then as the army sweeps in to save the day, they mistake him for a zombie and shoot him in the head.
Other endings I really liked are...
Memento - (The more you watch this movie, the more layers to the plot you realize exist. Awesome film! Wonderfully creative direction!)
The Usual Suspects (Keyser Soze. 'Nuff said!)
Donnie Darko (Huh? Like Memento, I delve deeper and deeper into the plot every time I watch this one.)
Se7en (This ending just kicks ass. Plain and simple.)
The Sixth Sense (I didn't know he was dead until the very end the first time I saw it.)
Fight Club (One of the most fucked up endings in years.
Confidence (You know there's going to be a lot of twists, but it's impossible to figure it out.)
Psycho II (Yeah I said it! Psycho II. If you haven't seen it, go watch the first one and then watch the second one. The ending of this was SO COOL that I really dont want to give it away to anyone that hasnt seen it. If you have similar taste in what endings you like, then I think you will like this one... Just trust me, but make sure you have the first Psycho fresh in your memory before watching it.)
As for the other movies mentioned in this thread...
I wasn't crazy about Saw. It looked AWESOME from the trailers, but I was disappointed. Very cool concept but I dont think they pulled it off very well.... The blond guy was a shitty actor and the multiple 'twists' at the end made the whole movie seem to not make any sense.
I thought The Ring was one of the most over rated movies in the last decade. (Right there with Blair Witch.) It had potential and then I thought the last 25 minutes were just terrible. I knew there would be a sequel because the first one didn't answer any of the questions it raised which was why I thought it sucked in the first place. I won't be seeing Ring 2.
Identity was very predictible in the aspect that it was going to be multiple personalities, but which one won out was a nice final twist at the very end.
Never saw Henry but now I want to. That sounds cool.
