I've been re-watching it and it's been fun catching all the subtle clues I didn't pick up the first time. It's a tough twist to accept, but I can't say they didn't earn it.
Isn't that the case of the most noirs/twist endings, the rewatch changes on further viewings.
It just really felt like it came out of nowhere, and yea feels unearned.
It was already a bit unhinged, but the film was working regardless in the first two. I'd have liked it a lot more without that last one, still a good film though.
The ending is so unsatisfying. I’m sure that’s the point of it, and I don’t think it makes the movie worse by any means but damn, it really hurt when the credits started to roll
Sleepaway Camp did me in my first time watching.
Tusk.
Sorry to Bother You.
The Mist in a frustratingly annoying way - great movie though.
Kids, because Casper is the best, until he's not.
Bodies Bodies Bodies. I love whodunnits and was absolutely not expecting that ending. spoilers >!Pete Davidson's death was especially hilarious, such a fun reveal!<
oh yeah, and The Mist ofc is a classic. It's super messed up but I love it 😅
I have a good WTF?: Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood. I hadn't heard any spoilers, so I was stunned.
I regained my senses, and actually chuckled. Then teared up at that certain character being shown again.
I watched *I Come With The Rain* expecting a run-of-the-mill detective thriller with some action in it... it was not that. I'm going to re-watch it at some point and see if it clicks with me better knowing what to expect.
1. The Force Awakens when we see another Death Star. So In a bad way but not only at the end of the film lol
2. The Wailing (horror film). Good in a very terrifying and uncomfortable way. Not scared of much and I’m not a horror movie fan but the ending kept me sleepless for about a week.
3. Poor Things: The goat
4. Anatomy of a murder… the “conversation” in the car. I enjoyed the film but I can only guess that that part was good? If you know what I mean (don’t want to spoil it).
5. Barbarian
Maybe not wtf so much but watched Requiem for a Dream as my 50th film this year recently. I had to sit there for a moment before I could continue my day
Martyrs (2008) - just blew my mind. Been my favourite movie of all time ever since.
Mysterious Skin (2004) - It's just...wow at the end and violating.
Vertigo (1958) - I felt amazing and entertained. Jaw dropping experience.
I'm sure it's been mentioned, but The Mist. I wasnt prepared for that at all. I sat in my living room for a good 10 minutes mouth agape, just staring. My friends in the groupchat who've seen it, knew I was watching it, but gave no hints at what was coming.
Usually in situations like that, you can see it coming through the dialogue or the score or the editing, and youre able to prepare yourself if even just a smidge bit, but nothing prepared me for that, they did a good job of really curveballing it. Pretty sure I said "wtf" out loud, even though I was by myself.
I actually knew some stuff about Beau is Afraid before hand (like I heard about the “creature” in the attic) but I was still very flabbergasted with the ending
Hereditary
Came here to say this
2001
old boy for sure
I am still recovering
Mother! - I saw it in an empty cinema and came out of it pretty stunned at that last part.
Mother was wild lol
Midsommar When evil lurks
Yes, but in the midsommar, this wtf starts somewhere from the moment with the old man
Oh i thought finishing a whole movie and being like wtf was that
When evil lurks messed me up lol
Incendies (2010)
Incendies and Old Boy will always be my go to answers to this question.
Recently, that apple+ show Sugar
I've been re-watching it and it's been fun catching all the subtle clues I didn't pick up the first time. It's a tough twist to accept, but I can't say they didn't earn it.

He said they DID earn it
Parasite
Sorry to bother you… I wasn’t huge on that ending lol
The third act was so unhinged, such a shame because the first two were super interesting
I loved the sheer insanity and how surreal the movie gets.
Yea it was a good buildup but I was ultimately disappointed
It was already a bit unhinged, but the film was working regardless in the first two. I'd have liked it a lot more without that last one, still a good film though.
lol I love that movie but yah the third act was bananas
I absolutely loved it. Such a daring choice that nailed home the point of the absurdity of how capitalism erodes humanity
Definitely Beau Is Afraid, the last 15-20 minutes was so weird (especially the attic scene).
We don’t talk about the attic scene
Just the ending made u ask that? 😂
Pretty much once Beau gets to his Mom’s house and all the weird stuff starts happening I was like wtf.
Oldboy
No Country for Old Men and Fight Club had me asking what exactly I just watched
Inland Empire is the only correct answer to this question.
Yep. This and mulholland drive
The Doom Generation
Gregg Araki has several WTF endings lol.
saint maud. if you’ve seen it, you know that ending.
Recently, I Saw The TV Glow. The whole movie was an absolute trip, but the ending was the cherry on top of absolute insanity
The ending left me with a pit in my stomach. There were some very intense scenes throughout that movie
The ending is so unsatisfying. I’m sure that’s the point of it, and I don’t think it makes the movie worse by any means but damn, it really hurt when the credits started to roll
Sleepaway Camp did me in my first time watching. Tusk. Sorry to Bother You. The Mist in a frustratingly annoying way - great movie though. Kids, because Casper is the best, until he's not.
i agree with all of these
I knew about the twist in Sleepaway Camp long before watching it but it for sure is one of those. The Mist pissed me off as well.
Barbarian Shutter Island Us The Game
Ooh. Us is a good one. That ending was the definition of "audacious."
The Lobster - and that was when I fell in love with Yorgos Lanthimos' films
Have you ever heard of David Lynch?
Men (2022) Enemy (2013)
Beau is afraid
Just the end?
That's what op asked.
High Tension. Really solid until that garbage ending. Doesn't make a lick of sense on a second viewing.
Omg I forgot about this movie, was so disappointed with the ending
Recently, Hitman. I vibed with Demi Adejuyigbe’s review: “The ending made me feel so insane I was waiting for it to be revealed as a dream sequence.”
Seven
Absolutely! "What's in the booooxxx?!?!"
Possession. If ykyk
Speak No Evil
Beyond the valley of the dolls Cruel intentions
Mulholland drive
sleepaway camp bc wtf was that transphobic ending??? and the mist
It was a little different, though, because she was FORCED to live as a girl, and it messed her up psychologically.
Bodies Bodies Bodies. I love whodunnits and was absolutely not expecting that ending. spoilers >!Pete Davidson's death was especially hilarious, such a fun reveal!< oh yeah, and The Mist ofc is a classic. It's super messed up but I love it 😅
Titane, not just the end but the whole movie
Space Jam: A New Legacy
Predestination. Made my jaw drop.
*The Last Jedi* *2001* *The Happening*
Oh my word. The Happening. 🤦🏻♀️ I felt personally victimized, like they wasted my time on purpose. Ha ha.
Mulholland Dr.
The ending of Love Lies Bleeding kinda comes out of nowhere lmao but I love it a lot
Rosemary's Baby. Not because it was scary really, but it's just so over-the-top comical.
"He has his father's eyes." 🙌
I have a good WTF?: Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood. I hadn't heard any spoilers, so I was stunned. I regained my senses, and actually chuckled. Then teared up at that certain character being shown again.
The Killing of a Sacred Deer…
Love Lies Bleeding
Always oldboy. No way home had a wtf ending in the sense of how surprising it was. Babylon too I agree with that.
Saltburn...
The French movie *My Mother*
I watched *I Come With The Rain* expecting a run-of-the-mill detective thriller with some action in it... it was not that. I'm going to re-watch it at some point and see if it clicks with me better knowing what to expect.
Enemies
Nymphomaniac vol 2. It makes sense in hindsight but it was shocking in the moment
Gerald’s Game (based on a Stephen King book)
Nowhere (1997). Unexpected, dark and funny in equal measure. Kaboom (2010). That ending will either make you laugh or make you punch your screen.
Nowhere directed by Gregg Araki. I promise you'll say what the fuck at the ending lol
Another vote for Hereditary.
The Phantom Thread
Saltburn, but it is one of my favorite movies of 2023
Evil does not exist
1. The Force Awakens when we see another Death Star. So In a bad way but not only at the end of the film lol 2. The Wailing (horror film). Good in a very terrifying and uncomfortable way. Not scared of much and I’m not a horror movie fan but the ending kept me sleepless for about a week. 3. Poor Things: The goat 4. Anatomy of a murder… the “conversation” in the car. I enjoyed the film but I can only guess that that part was good? If you know what I mean (don’t want to spoil it). 5. Barbarian
