10 Movie Endings That Were Profoundly Insulting

The majority of films that you see in the cinema do a fine job of tying things up without too many issues

and if anything, they just fall into that mediocre but fine category

However, the films on this list actually seem like they went the extra mile just to piss the audience off

So with that in mind, I'm Ellie with WhatCulture, and here are movie endings that were profoundly insulting

Glass After M. Night Shyamalan delivered a major return to form with 2017's terrific thriller Split

fans hope that he cement his comeback with Glass, the capper to his covert superhero movie trilogy

which started all the way back with Unbreakable. And all the ingredients seemed to be there, but then that ending happened

Though Shyamalan quite cleverly sets up a generic superhero movie showdown between Willis and McAvoy

only to subvert it by staging their final fight in a parking lot, what follows ensures that two of the movie's three protagonists suffer deeply unsatisfying fates

Mr. Glass, quite appropriately, has his bones fatally broken by the horde

but as for McAvoy's hulking supervillain, he gets randomly shot by an anonymous sniper

and Dunn is drowned by another no-named goon. Then it turns out that Dr. Ellie Staple wasn't merely a psychologist

researching people deluded into believing they're superheroes. She also works for a secret society that aims to suppress, by any means necessary

the existence of super-powered people. But in a final stinger, it's revealed that Glass recorded footage of the film's events

and it was uploaded to the internet, revealing the truth about superhumans to the world

It's almost impressive how far Shyamalan went to ensure fans wouldn't be sent home happy by Glass's ending

Though he's certainly subverted expectations in a number of ways, the writer-director has taught us several times before how surprises for their own sake just won't cut it

Ultimately, this just felt like a giant slap in the face. Pixels

There are so many questionable things in Adam Sandler painfully bad video game themed comedy Pixels But nothing more than its final moment which represents the culmination of Josh Gad romantic arc throughout the entire movie

But the worst thing has to be when Gad's character's crush, Lady Lisa, is destroyed

and then Qbert randomly decides to transform himself into the likeness of Lisa and the two passionately make out

And then they seem to get married and have babies. It's so creepy, it's almost unreal

But in addition to making no sense at all mechanically, it actively butchers an iconic video game character

by forcing him into a weird sexual relationship with Josh Gad. Just why

Jurassic Park 3. It's not really much of a secret that the third entry into the action-adventure franchise

was a deeply troubled production, with the script still being written during shooting

As a result, its actual ending wasn't shot until reshoots four months after principal photography

wrapped. And this does explain why the Marines just show up at the end of the film, and we don't

get the man versus dino battle which was heavily teased throughout the events and even in the

trailers. Instead, what we get is basically two minutes of nothing, and then the end credits start

rolling. Sorry, what? We're only at the 18-minute mark. Have I missed something? It honestly might

be one of the most insane anti-climax in the history of Temphole Cinema. Given that the two

prior Jurassic Park movies clocked in at over two hours each for the threequel to last just 92 minutes

and rush its way to a non-event to the conclusion is just an insult to anyone who ever paid for a

ticket with high tension. High tension is a tightly wound supremely violent horror film that is for

about 90% of its runtime pretty good and then it delivers an ending that not only unfurls the

gnarly ride but retroactively makes the rest of the movie worse. The bulk of the film is focused

on two best friends, Marie and Alex, who are being pursued by a brutal serial killer But at the end the director just hurls out this wildly unnecessary logic derailing twist that actually Marie is the real killer who is deranged and in love with Alex and the stalker of the film is just a figment of Marie mind

This instantly breaks the logic of countless scenes we've witnessed, namely a car chase

now rendered impossible, and even if you argue that we're witnessing Marie's jumbled

mental account of what happened, it's still a massive stretch to make sense of it all

It was bold, sure, but an insanely stupid conclusion to an otherwise great movie

and bad enough that it's probably sworn many off from ever watching it again

Next. The It Was All A Dream ending is never satisfying, and though countless films have tried to reinvent such a twist in clever and imaginative ways

it almost always comes off as lazy above all else. That's certainly the case in Nicolas Cage's 2007 sci-fi vehicle Next

where he plays Chris Johnson, a Vegas magician with the ability to see into the future

who ends up working with the FBI to try and stop a nuclear explosion on US soil

And in the final moments of the movie, it appears that Chris has somehow managed to use his abilities to both save his new lover Liz Cooper

and prevent the explosion, except Chris made a mistake, resulting in the bomb going off, killing everyone in LA

And at this point, the movie flings the audience back to the movie's midway point

where Chris and Liz are laying in bed, revealing that the last 45 minutes of the movie

have simply been one of Chris's premonitions. Clearly, this is a case of a script that thought it was far more clever than it actually was

because that ending was nothing more than a cheap cop-out. The Devil Inside

2012's infamous horror train wreck, The Devil Inside, delivered an ending so terrible

there were genuine debates about whether or not it was the worst movie ending in the history of theatrically released movies

The film ends with the remaining characters involved in a presumably fatal car wreck and the supernatural antagonist whereabouts is unknown before a title card flashes up imploring the viewer to visit a website to learn more about the investigation Audiences were incensed awarding it an F CinemaScore

while many patrons ask cinema chains for refunds, even despite sitting through the complete film

Quite rightly, viewers felt they'd been sold an unfinished experience, and it's an ending

that's only become worse since, as the advertised website doesn't even work anymore. Fantastic Four

Whether you blame volatile director Josh Trank or a meddlesome studio in the form of Fox

there's no doubt that 2015's Fantastic Four reboot is a deeply terrible film filled with wrong-headed creative calls

It also is incredibly sad because it teased a sequel that never came

The final moments show the team settling on a name after a battle against Doctor Doom

After The Thing, played by Jamie Bell, says that their progress has been fantastic

Reed Richards, played by Miles Teller, has a lightbulb moment and asks him to repeat it

Just as Richards prepares to announce the team's titular moniker, we cut to the film's closing

titles. For starters, Avengers Age of Ultron did almost the exact same ending far more successfully

barely three months earlier with its Avengers Assemble tease, while Fantastic Four served up

an agonisingly contrived attempt to conclude on a fist-pumping high, The Open House. If you haven't

seen the Netflix original horror film The Open House? Well, firstly, well done, and secondly

don't. The premise is familiar enough. A mother and son move into her sister's for sale house

and are almost immediately assailed by a seemingly supernatural presence, but with an atmospheric execution, it certainly could have been an entertaining straight-to-streaming

romp. As it turns out, the family is actually being tormented by a serial killer, who at the

end of the movie tricks the son into accidentally stabbing his mother to death and then strangles

the sun out in the forest. The final scene of the film sees the killer leave the crime scene and head

to another open house to repeat his terror. And that is all. Just lazy writing and no development

making this 94 minutes of your time wasted
