I’m not going into detail with endings. Just asking for movie suggestions that leave you feeling upset. Not a happy ending. Just straight up slaps you around unexpectedly.

I’m going to list examples of movies with this type of ending below that I have seen and absolutely loved - which is why I listed the spoiler warning… So, heads up - they don’t have the happiest of endings 😅 BUT if you HAVEN’T seen any of these films, PLEASE DO:

The movies:

  • Memento
  • Upgrade
  • Ex Machina
  • The Prestige
  • Prisoners
  • Se7en
  • One Hour Photo
  • The Mist

  • The Butterfly Effect
