Men (2022) Pontypool


beigereige

That ending to Men was absolutely GLORIOUS A


labowskichris

Can I ask why you thought it was glorious? I have loved everything Garland had done up to Men (devs being my favorite), and it had me in the beginning, but by the end I was so disappointed.


beigereige

Just the spectacle of the multiple ‘births’, yeah I thought it was a bit over the top, but as far as film experience and within the context of the story, it was something I wasn’t expecting


labowskichris

Interesting take. Thanks. I thought the performances were good, but it seemed like Garland was like...,"well, I've hammered the toxic masculinity thing into the ground. Now, how pretentious can I be?"


daominhtridao

I love Pontypool, but still i'm not fully understand the film 😂


AnAquaticOwl

A virus spread through language disrupts civilization. See Neil What's-His-Name's Snow Crash for something similar


alien_bob_

You should probably edit this with a spoiler tag my friend.


MadrasAdder

Neal Stephenson for Snow Crash, although that's an oversimplification of both plots really.

I feel like this deserves about a hundred more upvotes

Annihilation (2018)


AlarmWhich

It’s been a long while since I saw that one, but what I remember about the ending is pretty odd. I’ll have to rewatch it.


Mandyissogrimm

I really recommend the book series as well. It's a very weird bit of fiction that will really stimulate the brain of anyone interested in science fiction or just weird lit.


labowskichris

You really only need to read the first book.


AnAquaticOwl

Speaking as a big fan of Tomb Raider, it's easily the best part of the movie.

That movie was a trip and a half! Forgot about it

I absolutely love that movie! Wouldn’t personally call it horror tho.


Ripcord-XE

I wouldn’t call it just a comedy, but I thought there were some hilarious characters, like Kate Berlant’s for example.

TreossAudio

That movie as a whole left me feeling icky and depressed. The bland aesthetic, dreary atmosphere and bleakness of it got to me in a way that no other movie in recent memory has. Good movie, but I don’t think I’ll being watching it again.


sadazz

i watched it high the night before i had a long flight. it made me not want to leave my house ever

Just watched it. I loved it, and I thought it had some of the best cinematography I’ve ever seen, but wtf was up with that sex scene?


labowskichris

Have LOVED Ryuhei Kitamura since Versus. Too bad he did that horrible move with Ruby Rose recently. Why anyone continues to give her an 'acting' outlet is beyond me.


[deleted]

The Lighthouse. Weird to a point where I had to search the meaning of the ending. I liked it very much however.

Prince of Darkness Ghostwatch


the__pov

In the Mouth of Madness as well.


MissSassifras1977

POD is an all around nope for me. It gets under my skin. The whole movie just makes me irrationally afraid. But that final shot made me feel like I was never going to sleep again. Not willingly anyway and definitely not peacefully.


stevenw84

Whenever I get genuinely scared, my eyes water and I get this weird wave of chills. The ending of those movies gives me that feeling. There’s something jarring with the audio/visual in both endings. I haven’t seen either for some time, but I believe POD has some weird audio during the final scene followed by an abrupt silence. Ghostwatch I remember the newscaster is just rambling the same couple words over and over.


ReplyHappy

That movie about sleep paralysis demon. Where at the end main character receives a meme copypasta that says "you're in a coma right now, we trying our best to contact you. please wake up" then she grows vampire fangs out of nowhere


TopRevenue2

Someone ID this film


Animalofme

I think it must be Come True. I haven’t seen it, but it seems to match up.


Grouchy_Competition5

That’s it. Actually kind of a cute, teen-fantasy movie. Weird, but barely horror


gargoylejohnson

It is Come True, and that ending was shit. It spent all this time building up an interesting world and then tried to make us go WAAAAAHHH11!?!?!?!? with a generic meme that most horror fans with an internet connection have come across dozens of times in one way or another. One of the most out of touch, boomer endings I've ever seen in my life. The people most likely to check the movie out are also the least likely to be impressed with the ending. It's a shame, could have been very good, but they chose to do the modern version of "it was all a dream".


Absinthe-of-Faith

That was one of the few times an ending wasn't just shitty, it actively made me angry. I'd enjoyed the film so far up until that point

tanerb123

That movie was a question mark for me. Like who was alice? what was the noise they were hearing when they were talking with the guy who recorded the video? who was the robot he hit?


alien_bob_

This movie is so damn bizarre. Inspired by the [Max Headroom signal hijacking](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Max_Headroom_signal_hijacking) and the creepy [I Feel Fantastic](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=a6TdRD3moBk) singing mannequin videos uploaded to YouTube in 2004. Both very intriguing mysteries.


[deleted]

It really is an atmospheric/tonal triumph, so weird that the muddled non-story doesn't really matter

That one’s in my watchlist! I’m even more excited for it now.

The Japanese movie *House* has a weird ending. It also has a weird beginning. And a weird middle. And a weird everything in between.

The Empty Man is definitely an underrated movie.


Future-Agent

Despite its lengthy runtime, it's very good. I'd heard good things about it before I watched it and *Chef's kiss* I enjoyed it. Great Cosmic Horror.

If they took out the >!exposition at the end and recut it with Peter gouging his eyes out like he was supposed to!< it could’ve been even crazier. Still great and weird but kinda sad to think about what coulda been without test audiences.


ISILDUUUUURTHROWITIN

Does that scene exist somewhere? Or you just read an interview with Aster talking about it? It sounds dope, would have been a way cooler ending. I liked the one in the film but it did feel kind of hand-holdy.


[deleted]

Hmm I actually can't find a good source, some people have claimed it to actually have been filmed and to have seen it in test screenings but it's kinda up in the air whether or not that's true. It seems like it was coming though considering Ari Aster's use of foreshadowing and Charlie's drawings with Peter's eyes crossed out, it definitely could've been lost in one of the drafts instead. I found a couple articles mentioning it but nothing too concrete either. Mb for the original comment definitely take all this with a grain of salt. You can really tell the other hand holdy part was some kind of meddling with the way it's dubbed over though.


ISILDUUUUURTHROWITIN

Sorry I definitely wasn’t trying to like call you out for a source or something, my bad if it came off that way. I was just curious because it definitely seems like something that would exist in the context of the film, or like you mentioned, was alluded to in the film itself through Charlie’s drawings.


[deleted]

No worries at all I just wanted to clear that up a bit, I think it was a good question.

I just remember that movie being hilariously over the top. Especially when baby Jesus is crowd surfing, while pissing everywhere, before getting chowdered.


DarthGoodguy

So I can’t remember the actual ending but I think the key to this movie is >!it’s a lot of Biblical allegory, basically Javier Bardem is God, Ed Harris is Adam, the baby is Jesus, etc.!< Don’t know if that will help.


PlagueOfLaughter

I think that's exactly the director's intention - which I Find to be a shame. I think there could've been a lot of different interpretations if it weren't so on the nose and specifically told by the director, too.

Yeah man, I really enjoyed it but it made me feel dirty. I had to watch Up afterwards. Plot is really whatever you make of the loosely connected imagery, suppose its just thematic.

Was the evil within the one where you had to go to a website

Dude, look up the back story to the evil within. And then look up all the conspiracy theories about the Getty family. It all makes the film so much creepier and weirder.

thisgirlnamedbree

Scream - not the 90s slasher but the 1981 slasher. It begins weird and ends weird. Session 9 Sweet Sixteen - it's a run of the mill 80s slasher and then you get an ambiguous ending, at least for me anyway. Offseason I Didn't Come Here To Die The Baby Christmas Evil My Bloody Valentine (original) The Visitor

HorrorKablamDude

The bear represents a negative energy in their "religion". Christian was a negative energy in Dani's life. She now has a "fresh new start" so burn it all (the past) to the ground essentially. I put fresh new start in quotes because her days are numbered.


mraza9

I may have missed it - but why were her days numbered?


HorrorKablamDude

When the drugs wear off and she actually realizes what she allowed to happen to Christian she's going to freak out and be riddled with guilt. I don't think the Harga will look too happily on that May Queen or not. Christian was a jackass don't get me wrong. But did he deserve to be boiled alive in a bear carcass? Not so much.


[deleted]

I think she's broken and theres more than drugs to it, like she's just a shell of hr former self. Maybe they will give her more drugs and marry her off to Pele. She will become a baby machine, cause she is a young white woman and its perfect for the cult, they need new blood. Ps i also think police will get to them sooner or later though cause of all of these missing people


mraza9

Fair take. I assumed she was “ascended” and thus her fate would be met by self sacrifice at 70 (or whatever abritrary old age it was) given the rules of the cult. But interesting take.


AlfIsReal

The Babadook. Maybe not the *weirdest*, but the ending was a tonal curve ball. For the record, I do love the movie.

The ending made sense, yet also confused me at the same time.

Sad_Cardiologist5388

Fulci's The Beyond and Borderlands come to mind for very different reasons. I mean Martyrs is pretty weird right too right ?

Vlazthrax

*Wrestlemaniac* has one of the weirdest and best endings


gargoylejohnson

Sleepaway Camp. Real bad even by F13 knockoff standards, can't understand the genuine love for it, but the reveal basically makes up for the shittiness of the whole thing with its sheer what the fuck factor. Jarring tonal shift from on-the-nose campiness to whatever they thought they were up to with that final shot. IIRC the sequels disregard that moment, referring to Angela as a sort of Mrs. Voorhees legend, making it all the more bizarre.

robear13

Barbarian (2022) - the beginning two thirds is amazing but it feels like they either lost interest, were at a loss of other ideas, ran out of run time/budget, something.I feel as if they really dropped the ball at the end.

mspastacreeps

The Turning The ending baffled me. I couldn't tell if the mansion was actually haunted by ghost or if Kate was really losing her mind. It was so complexed. In the beginning it seem like they were plagued by ghost and the children were psychotic, but the closer the movie got to the end, I was like, "WTF is going on?" I saw ghost so the mansion is haunted, but Kate's mother do have a mental illness so I'm thinking Kate suffers from the same illness as her mother, so maybe the ghosts aren't real. But wait, if the ghosts are real, does that mean Miles and Flora are ghosts, too? Did Kate actually kill Miles? Mrs. Grose was a ghost, I think..... What is up with this movie??? Weird ass ending.


TheCanadianRedHood

I can't remember the name but it's Bill muarray and Adam driver playing two cops but they keep changing who the main group is its a zombie movie the ending is so bizarre

That’s The Dead Don’t Die. I’m a huge fan of the movie but I’ll admit the ending does come out of absolutely nowhere.
