  • A quiet place John Krasinski is a quiet place proved one of the most successful movies of 2018, performing exceptionally well at the box office and earning strong reviews for its acting unique concept and atmosphere, please.

  • That said, the ending was clearly meant to set up a sequel, and it proved a little frustrating.

  • Reagan figures out how to expose the creatures flesh, and Evelyn takes one out with a shotgun.

  • The movie then ends with Evelyn pumping the shotgun and preparing for a fight.

  • It closes out on her character arc and promises a unique twist in the next movie, that being the characters knowledge of the monsters weakness.

  • But there's nothing more frustrating than an ending that leaves the story unresolved and blatantly sets up its own sequel.

  • Number nine.

  • A Serious Man.

  • When it comes to the Coen brothers filmography, a serious man is often overlooked.

  • That's a shame, because it contains one of their best endings.

  • The movie explores the powerlessness of a man in the face of God and the meaninglessness of life's tragic events.

  • It's not the cheeriest of movies.

  • Why does he make us feel the questions if he's not going to give us any answers he hasn't told me.

  • After grappling with his faith throughout the movie, Larry succumbs to temptation and accepts a bribe.

  • God doesn't take too kindly to this, and Larry immediately receives an ominous phone call from his doctor.

  • Larry, Could you come in to discuss these X ray results?

  • You remember the X rays we talked about?

  • We can't discuss them over the phone.

  • I think we'd be more comfortable in person.

  • Meanwhile, his son is stuck in the path of a massive tornado, and the movie ends with a haunting shot of the apocalyptic blackness approaching his school.

  • The biblical parallels are obvious, and it leaves the movie on a horrifying note.

  • Your eyes Say your eyes.

  • Number eight Reservoir Dogs serving his Quentin Tarantino's first major movie, Reservoir Dogs, is also his bleakest, both in terms of tone and story.

  • You're gonna be OK.

  • Say the goddamn word.

  • You're gonna be OK.

  • Three Ending in particular is a total bloodbath, complete with poor Nash's death and the Mexican standoff that kills Joe and Eddie.

  • No need for this man not just put our guns down on Let's settle This with conversation.

  • But the most frustrating aspect is the fate of both orange and white.

  • The to share an intimate bond throughout the movie leading orange, too painfully admit Toe White that he's an undercover police officer.

  • White kills orange and retaliation and is shot down by the police as a result.

  • Cut to black If you away Yeah, yeah, it's the director's bleakest ending, Even though these air murderous criminals and that jarring tonal shift from the bloody climax to the poppy credits, music is pure Tarantino eyes that is good for you, as it was for me.

  • Number seven Prisoners Down Even Lives First English language film Prisoners tells a seemingly simple story about a father taking justice into his own hands after his daughter Anna is abducted.

  • Someone has to make him talk soon, and his father, Dover, is later imprisoned by the kidnapper as well, and finds his daughter's emergency whistle.

  • When Loki returns to search the house, he hears the faint sound of a whistle blowing, indicating a possible rescue of Dover.

  • Pray for the best prepared for the worst.

  • Dover's fate is left ambiguous, but we can infer that he saved due to locals tenacious professionalism and willingness to help as well as do overs steadfast survivalism.

  • Thean ending is also quite satisfying on a thematic level, and in that way the movie assuredly succeeds.

  • Number six.

  • The Blair Witch Project opinion remains firmly divided over the quality of the Blair Witch Project.

  • A particular source of contention is the ending, with some finding at a stellar and horrifying image, with others finding it frustratingly ambiguous.

  • Come on him.

  • Heather makes her way down to the basement and finds Mike standing in the corner, a nightmarish image and to throw back to the Rustin Parr story they heard earlier said in court that he couldn't take the eyes on you.

  • Could you could feel the eyes watching them.

  • That's why I made her face into the corner like that, she screams and his attacked from behind the end.

  • Why, wow!

  • Well, all three protagonists certainly die.

  • But the logistics of the scene tend to bother some viewers.

  • Was it the witch?

  • Was it Josh was a Josh acting on orders of the witch or possibly under her possession?

  • The movie doesn't give us answers, and it's all the scarier for it.

  • Number five, Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

  • Often heralded, it is one of the funniest movies of all time.

  • Monty Python and the Holy Grail has a suitably hilarious ending to prove its reputation.

  • Castle has been taken over by French soldiers and both Arthur and Bed Devere launching assault with an army of nights for attack.

  • It promises to be an epic battle sequence, but this being a wacky and low budget comedy, the movie throes of wild curveball, a anachronistic police drive up arrest the main characters and break the camera.

  • It's so hilariously surreal, ridiculous and anti climactic.

  • The viewers can't help feeling both amused and bemused.

  • And there in lies, the wondrous magic of Monty Python.

  • All right, Sunny, That's it.

  • Just like that, Yeah.

  • Number four Avengers.

  • Age of Ultron.

  • Quite frankly, how dare joss Sweden do this to us?

  • Age of Ultron promised us the epic and long awaited Avengers assemble.

  • Well, it didn't promise us, but we were expecting it nonetheless.

  • Captain Black, Widow Talk about beating a team into shape, and we watched the epic gathering of War, Machine vision.

  • Falcon and Scarlet Witch were good, not a team.

  • Let's beat them into shape.

  • The music swells.

  • The camera zooms into caps Proud face.

  • And he declares, Ventures just before he could say, Assemble the movie, cut two credits and had us all throwing popcorn at the screen in utter disappointment.

  • I'll do it myself, of course.

  • We finally heard the iconic line four years later in end game, and it was worth the wait Avenger Assemble Number three.

  • No Country for Old Men, Another Coen brothers masterpiece.

  • No Country for Old Men is one of the most faithful movie adaptations ever made.

  • you will always say the same thing.

  • It borrows nearly every scene and line of dialogue from Cormac McCarthy's novel, including this infamously anti climactic, if beautiful and poetic ending.

  • Sheriff Bell never catches sugar.

  • He doesn't even save Moss.

  • Rather, he retires from law enforcement owing to his feelings of hopelessness and tells his wife about some dreams he had.

  • Lauretta tells me you're quitting.

  • How come you doing that?

  • I don't know.

  • Yeah, feel overmatched.

  • The dreams contain enormous thematic relevance, but bells telling of them serves as a very bizarre and untraditional way to end.

  • An exciting chase thriller was cold.

  • There was snow on the ground.

  • He rode past me and kept on going.

  • Never said nothing going by, just rode on past.

  • Then again, subversion is entirely the point.

  • It's up to the individual viewer whether or not they want to accept it.

  • Now I woke up number two.

  • The thing John Carpenter's masterpiece.

  • The Thing is one of the best horror movies ever made, and it contains one of the bleakest endings in the history of cinema.

  • Having destroyed both the base and the thing.

  • McCreedy and child's share a bottle of Scotch and stew in their paranoia as they slowly freeze to death Killer.

  • Where were you, Chuck?

  • Many viewers like Deposit whether Childs was the thing, but that's beside the point.

  • Won't last long.

  • Me There will wait.

  • How will we make?

  • Maybe we should.

  • The point is that the thing has utterly obliterated their trust in each other, and that the group's paranoia and unwillingness to trust each other eventually led to their literal destruction.

  • People absolutely hated the ending back in 1982 and we can't exactly blame them.

  • It's great stuff, but it's also horribly bleak, pessimistic and nihilistic.

  • Number one inception, Perhaps the most infamous cut to black ending of our time inception really leaves viewers mind spinning.

  • So totem, you need a small objects potentially have you something you could have on you all the time that no one else will know needs to be more unique than that.

  • Like the things ending, this one is largely served for a thematic purpose.

  • After finally earning his way home and getting to see his Children, Cobb abandons the totem altogether and chooses to ignore its reality.

  • He has his kids, and that's all that matters.

  • Look who's here.

  • But again, that hasn't stopped fans from theorizing about the nature of the ending.

  • Some even bring Cobb's wedding ring into it, a fan theory that has gained an enormous amount of traction throughout the years.

  • And while it doesn't really matter if the ending is a dream or reality, the lack of a definitive answer certainly proves a little frustrating.
