10 most depressing movie endings ever
10 Most Depressing Movie Endings Ever - Den of Geek
Be warned: spoilers a-plenty lie within, as Martin reveals the movies that leave you feeling completely depressed once the final reel has finished. One famously mistranslated sign in a Swiss restaurant reads: 'Our wines leave you nothing to hope for'. You'll know how the patrons feel if you walk out of Blockbuster with this little lot.... THERE ARE SO MANY SPOILERS IN THIS ARTICLE THAT IT HURTS. BE WARNED! 10: Soylent Green (1973) Future cop Chuck Heston has been through hell trying to find out what the big secret at the core of his overcrowded society is, only to find that the Soylent Company that provides food for the starving earth has been processing human bodies and feeding it to the populace. Dragged off by the authorities, the last shot is of desperate Heston's hand crying out for justice as he cries: 'Soylent Green is people!'. 9: The Elephant Man (1980) David Lynch's classic telling of the fortunes of the deformed but transcendent John Merrick could actually have had a relatively happy ending, with Merrick loved and cared for. Instead Lynch shoots right past this hard-won contentment to create a bittersweet montage of images that pre-figure the beginning of his next film, Dune (1984), showing the ghostly visage of Merrick's possibly imaginary mother floating through space as Merrick peacefully takes his own life. "Nothing will die..." 8: The Descent (2005) Exactly how depressing you find the ending of Neil Marshall's tale of pot-holing horror depends on how involved you are able to become with his abrasive set of female characters. The re-cuts in the U.S. release leave the film with two possible endings, the bleaker of which finds the surviving character awaking from a psychotic dream of an improbably easy escape, to find herself buried alive in the goblin-strewn labyrinth. 7: Invasion Of The Body Snatchers (1978) Jittery Veronica Cartwright approaches fellow refugee Donald Sutherland, having lost him in the flight from the pod-people Sutherland is standing by some trees looking confused. He spies Cartwright. They've been through hell together. He raises his arm and points at her accusingly, and lets out a ululating cry that will alert all the other pod-people to her presence! 6: The Fly (1986) Brundlefly, in a last ditch effort to reverse the genetic collision between himself and a house fly, takes one last, unwise trip in his teleportation devise, to emerge as a ghastly fusion of teleporter metal and monster. A horrified Geena Davis watches the thing approach with a shot gun in her hand. Brundlefly's had enough - he gets hold of the end of the barrel and positions it between his own fly eyes. Davies pulls the trigger and breaks out in tears. 5: Dead Ringers (1988) More vein-opening from David Cronenberg. This bizarre and affecting tale of twin gynaecologist brothers concludes with a touching but miserable suicide pact between the insane siblings. 4: Spider (2002) Yet more Canadian grimness from Cronenberg, as Ralph Fiennes' oedipal protagonist decides to end the drudgery of his impoverished and schizophrenic life by taking it. 3: Nineteen-Eighty Four (1984) Dissident Winston Smith realises there's a limit to the power of love, as a nasty run-in with rats in Room 101 turns him into a model Oceanian citizen who renounces his rebel girlfriend and embraces Big Brother. 2: A.I. - Artificial Intelligence (2001) Having been abandoned by his mum in one of the most disturbing and misery-inducing scenes in contemporary cinema, robot boy Haley Joel Osment stares depressed into space at the bottom of the Hudson River for 2000 years, only to be rescued by itinerant aliens who use science/magic to give him the long lost mum he always wanted - and then take her away from him just before he expires forever. 1: The Mist (2007) After driving desperately through the blasted, monster-strewn landscape of Frank Darabont's 2007 Stephen King adaptation, Thomas Jane finally runs out of fuel. With only four bullets left, Jane gallantly spares his son, his new love interest and two close friends the horror of being eaten by the nasties, and nobly goes out to face his fate - only to find that the Military have finally come and are mopping up the debris. Another two minutes and everyone in the car would have been saved! |

#1 does sound like a messed up ending, I saw #8 descent and regretted it.
Will rent #1. I think the ending of Se7en was rather fucked up. |

Harry Potters last movie when he's 50 trying to play the part of a High School kid....

Signs is the most depressing movie ending ever cause if you ever make it to the ending you'll realize that you just sat through the worst movie possibly ever made all the way to the end.....
Donnie Darko was depressing too....

1# is a pretty good choice. I loved that shit! The Descent was a pretty good horror flick by todays standards. I like endings like that, where the bad guy wins or that its a moment. Endings like A.I. are downright depressing. Body Snatchers has a good ending too. Shit, right before the destruction of the green house, when his girl friend crumbles is quite sad.

Damn, the ending of the Mist is rough. Movies don't normally 'get' to me, but damn. The guy just shot his frikkin kid in the head moments before the troops roll through...
The Descent was just a bad movie overall, I can't believe that the original Night of the Living Dead didn't make the list. Ben manages to survive the hordes of the undead only to be shot for looking out a window.

Requiem for a Dream caused me major psychological and emotional damage. Seriously, I felt depressed for an entire week after watching it.
The ending of that movie almost made me break down. |

I never really understood Donnie Darko. I only watched it once, but I couldn't figure out if he was schizophrenic with the most of the movie being in his head, or if he could really see into the future.

I can't remember what he said he meant it to be, but he ended with something cliche like "It is what the viewer wants it to be." or something like that...

I'd read the book long before the movie, it's just where addiction will get you that's all Selby knew to write about....He was quite a liver ol' Hubert/by liver I mean he liked to live his writing itself was a work of unconventional art much like Jack Kerouac he used the stream of consciousness style and never worried about the grammar aspect/in fact he rarely used puncuation/these were the days of bennies when a man could pop reds all day long and get more from the corner drugstore the next day/but Hubert wrote all of his stuff sober so he says but I think he just meant off the nod, la la stuff which he'd been addicted to for years before he became a writer/then he got back into it did a hitch in the slam and after that he refused to ever touch smack again even on his dying day when in pain he didn't want morphine.... he used the / much like Jack used the , writers commonly use some form of odd puncuation to help them discern where a thought process jumped track much like how I use my oft seen......it's closer than the enter and tab keys

What made the ending of The Mist even worse is that when the adults decided to be killed, along with the guy's kid, the kid woke up right before the dad was going to shoot him.

^I was talking to a friend of mine about that ending. He said he found the ending funny. When asked why, he said cuz it was too fast. Had the army showed up hours or even days later, it wouldve still been a devastating ending, but the fact that it was within 2 min made it laughable.
I sort of agreed, but not 100%. I was thinking that when the writers were almost done with the ending, they said..."wait, you know what would REALLY be fucked up????"

Has anyone of you watched the movie called, 'The Island'?
I think if we continue to ignore our moral value and give too much emphasis on materialism, we will sometime in the future, become like those rich people and those scientists in the movie. ![]() |
