I have to respect these movies because I don’t always want a nice, clean, happy ending in a horror movie
I especially like it in books, i love downer endings. I find happy endings to be mostly boring at this point.
@@enriquesanchez9016 I agree
Why? Almost every horror movie has the “evil wins” ending. I think the only reason they still pull the same tired schtick is to try to milk any given movie into a franchise. Zero respect from me.
@@aricrudd6579 I have to disagree. Most of the horror movies I’ve seen over the past 40 years didn’t have an “evil win” ending. And franchises develop regardless of how the original film ended. If the fan base is there and more money can be milked out of it they’re gunna try to go franchise. And that started in the ‘80s so I guess it would be a very tired schtick by now
@@Usandthem31 Maybe that’s true for the specific movies you’ve seen, but objectively speaking, most horror movies end with evil winning. A lot will even have the fake out “final girl got away, PSYCHE, NO SHE DIDN’T”. The vast, vast majority of horror movies have the monster win, that’s simply not debatable. The subjective part is just whether you’re sick of it or not. I absolutely am. Horror movies need to have more variety in their endings.

Doing the lord's work! We thank you.
Cheers lad
Hero
No Midnight Meat Train? that ending has stuck with me for years
I swear i will NEVER get over Eden Lake, most infuriating ending of all time.
Agreed.
Yes
I watched this movie specifically because of the comments. Did not disappoint. Thank you Enrique!!
Idk why they went into the woods without any protection. They'd have fucked off real fast if one of em had been shot.
Se7en is brutal. Just brutal. Plus, who remembers the ending of Prince of Darkness? The woman pulled into the mirror towards the end? Not as brutal but the hopelessness you feel her…
I've only seen Prince of Darkness once, when I was a kid, but it has ALWAYS stuck with me!
Halloween III: Season Of The Witch registered mentally at such a level that to this day, I still cannot wear a mask that covers your entire face without starting to hyperventaliate.
Sucks that were never going to get a sequel to BRIGHTBURN due to the rights issues for the film.
For people who have seen the 2012 found footage film Chronicle and brightburn
I wanted a chronicle vs brightburn film as a sequel to both films
yep, need to know what happens to those kids and other villains that appeared on the Earth
@BlazeNarutoShippuden well Brandon in Brightburn probably just ruled unchallenged, his only weakness is a ship that only he knows exists or its location. Sounds like Game over for everybody else.
🥈
Better as a one off. Everything shouldn’t be a sequel
Eden Lake is one of the most depressing films I’ve scene-
🥉
How does evil win in Last House on the Left? Evil is literally destroyed by the parents
In the original, their daughter is still dead, and they've been turned into killers themselves
Dead Silence was a victim of unfortunate timing: it’s a genuinely creepy ghost story that was released at a time when people just wanted more films like SAW.
If Waan had made it after The Conjuring, it might’ve gotten more love since by that time supernatural horror had become popular again.
Nah. At the point that his dad was being controlled like a puppet and he couldn’t tell it would have lost everyone
Annihilation And The Witch And Midsommar And Hereditary And The Grudge And 28 Weeks Later And Unfriended Should Be On The List
Agreed 👌
Midsommar for sure
"Wolf Creek" and "all boys love Mandy Lane"
You bring out the same old tropes but forgot Hereditary this time.
Also Black Christmas (1974). Jessica was left alone in the house with the killer by the police at the end.
I guess some of these I don't find evil won....I mean yes the good guys in I Saw the Devil and Last House on the Left did kill and that broke them, but they still killed the bad guys and prevented anymore victims. I honestly love those endings.
I agree. Evil wins when they defeat (kill) the good guy and are still alive at the end to “live happily ever after.” If the good guy becomes the bad guy, but the original bad guy is killed, then that original bad guy didn’t really win.
I think it's important to note that Brightburn isn't as simple as "If Superman decided to be evil." It's more that it illustrates what absolute saints of humankind the Kents are. The family isn't evil - but they do react in ways that make them normal and human. They get scared by Brandon, and that's what starts the spiral of his corruption and evil.
Can someone post a list of all the movies in the comments please? I only watched a part of the video and I want to know the rest of the movies without having the endings spoiled. Thanks in advance :)

@@supercrochet Thank you so much :)
The ending of in the mouth of madness the old ones finally reclaim the earth and wiping out humanity
If only we could get a proper film based on it, but ir is still stuck in development hell
I don't know how the Feast trilogy didn't make this list but it deserves to be on it. Some of the best cheesy horror schlock ever made.
How about almost all of them within the last twenty years? “Evil won” has gotten stale at this point. A happy ending would be downright subversive in modern horror.
Speak No Evil scared the shit outta me because of how realistic it is, I mean like that kind of stuff can actually happen in real life
The acts yeah people being that passive and letting people do that to them no lol
@@Joemama55122I will stand by my comments and say that it’s mainly a story about a family who made every bad logical choice possible in a movie where it’s not a slasher or meant to be campy and shit off your brain. It’s so bad
Worth noting that the titular Henry and his friend Otis are based on Henry Lee Lucas and Otis Toole, real life supposed serial killers.
"Because you let me do it." Kinda goes hard.
Human Centipede had a gruesome ending for all 3 victims.
I was hoping to see The VVitch on here
Dead Silence is a great movie and total franchise material. It's a shame we never got to see Mary Shaw again.
Another one that could’ve been mentioned was Burnt Offerings
Or how about Black Christmas (1974)? Jesse killed her boyfriend, believing him to be the killer. She's left alone in the house, asleep in her bed, when we learn that the killer is still hiding in the attic. Then as the scene changes to outside the house, the phone begins to ring. And the killer only called them on the phone after he killed someone, indicating that he had killed Jesse. So now he's calling Officer Nash, the cop that didn't take the report from the sorority house seriously, and is now the cop left guarding the sorority house, after killing Jesse. Which insinuates that he'll be killing Officer Nash right after the call.
Evil always wins. Even if the villain/monster is defeated, there's always that scene where the fingers are moving slightly, or the camera goes somewhere obscure and we see the proof that evil isn't dead, etc.
The cleansing hour would have been perfect for this list as well
The Evil Dead films. You had one job..
The original Speak no Evil is the perfect example of an unsettling ending.
SPOILER ALERT
How infuriating they changed it in the remake!!
Did evil truly win at the end of event horizon the rescue crew looks like they were going to be trapped in there as well
Good job guys 🖤 love when evil wins cause the good can't win every time , sometimes evil does win and it makes more sense for some movies to end like that 👏👏👏
Bright Burn needs it's own cinematic universe
House of 1,000 Corpses gave me nightmares for like a month
The Vanishing is super underrated. Please go and see this movie.
The original, not the American remake which is lacking.
How about 1988s Spellbinder?
Wolf Creek should be on this list
Cure. Under rated but SO good.
Hereditary? The whole family dies except for the older brother who ends up being the chosen vessel to the demon Paymon. The look on his face at the end was a combination of defeat, acception, and a bit of confusion. He's been through a LOT and it ends with the aforementioned ending.
Am a bit annoyed that the first clip here just wasn't featured in the actual video. Really wanted to know what that movie was. It reminds me of Song of Horror, which is like a top tier horror experience, especially now that you can choose your own difficulty.
I think that 2019’s The Lodge should have been on this list
Add The Rental to this list. It will make you think twice about BnB's.
I bet “Inside” is on this list. It’s always on the lists
0.40: "...leaving a trail of carnage in his path...' Quite a trick, even for the Devil
Descent 2 is a thing
How is When Evil Lurks AND Terrified not on this list?
Eden lake made me cry fr
I want to see some of these now
Wait. The main character from Drag Me To Hell murdered her cat, before being dragged to Hell ? Then Evil DEFINITELY did NOT win !!!!! 😾😾😾😾😾
I remember the other “last house on the left” movie
Tusk was amazing.😂
adding in a movie that's been out for a month is crazy... barely even giving us a chance to watch smh
All of these movies are at least a couple years old
I would have added Irreversible to the list
Pox spelled out on her face in the thumbnail. 😂
Let me explain to you how deep in the depths of depravity "I Saw the 'GOTDAMN' Devil" goes...
I am a firm believer in vengeance/revenge. After watching that movie even I felt like the revenge wasn't even worth it after what he did to that guy and his family. 😖
50 foot living hand?
seriously?
that's kratos, not just a 50 foot living hand.
I know the composer who made the score for Speak No Evil
I haven't seen The Skeleton Key, but I'm fairly certain Mama Cecile and Papa Justify were _slaves,_ not servants, right? "Servants" are voluntary workers who get paid. Slaves are treated like property.
I'm going to be honest Brad Pitt's character from the movie seven I actually feel like he overcame evil by getting rid of it completely which was killing the horror movie villain at the end of the film because yeah I get that he could have brought him in a course made him face the justice system and also ended up going to prison or even getting the death sentence he probably still could have found a way to escape which eventually would have repeated the cycle of the main horror movie villain committee murders again
I wonder what one of the entrants were that got cut, that audio edit at the beginning not saying the top *insert number here* was odd
How didn’t hereditary make this list 😮💨
Lil bro forgot the final destination movies
drag me to hell sounds really dumb tbh, the lady who inflicts the curse seems like she's over reacting, I mean does the protagonist REALLY deserve to lose all the loved ones, thus they suffer too, and then get dragged to hell to suffer for all eternity, because like with anyone really, she denied an extension whilst doing her job?
reality, thats the true horror where evil wins
Autopsy of Jane Doe?
I'm sorry but I Seen The Devil should be in the #10-#1 range, but did evil really win when the good guy killed the bad guy???
I watched Cure, IIRC the main character quit pursuing the case.
Eden lake just really pisses me off. I don't think it's because of the bleak ending because the end of the Mist made me laugh but probably just because a little disrespectful shitheads just get away with everything and that the adults let this shit happen. It's just super ridiculous.
I was going t suggest Amityville 2: The Possession but then I remembered that the Montelli family are such a vile bunch the house is almost the protagonist not the antagonist this time round.
I saw the devil protag wasn't evil for killing the psycho. He was crying bc even tho he killed him he still has no fiancee
New Beginnings was a prequel of the redo Texas Chainsaw Massacre where he was called Thomas Huette and the events of the original time line or the requel time line never happened and never was called Bubba or Junior, or whatever nor the family was ever called the Sawyers or Slaughters.
One correction: in Texas Chainsaw Massacre the beginning it was a prequel to The 2003 Texas Chainsaw Massacre movie remake.
Leatherface's name was Bubba Sawyer in the 1974 original movie. But that wasn't his name in the remake. It was Thomas Hewitt, not Bubba. Got to pay attention when you're doing your research and writing your scripts kid.
Nerd
You forgot hereditary
Speak no evil was great. Why did it need a 2024 remake?
Descent shldnt b on ths list
Was that Wilfred brimley in 🪓?
👍🏾
Wait... What? Drag me to hell is a horror?
In a way. It has some horror themes for sure, but ultimately it is for the viewer to decide. With horror just like comedy being so subjective horror can hit on different levels to different people. Other films that fall into this would be Jaws, Get Out and Silence of the Lambs the Oscars don't like horror so they change the genre. Die Hard is a Christmas by the way 😎
@@TheTonyahawk I mean yeah. But jaws or silence of the lambs have atmosphere. Drag me to hell is just a comedy :D
@@Pishcott85 I disagree to a point, yes Drag Me To Hell is foremost comedic but there are points that make this fall into the horror genre, Shaun of the Dead is heavy on the comedy but being eaten by a zombie is horrific and so would being dragged to Hell. But this is what makes for good banter we can still pleasantly disagree 😎Happy Spooky Season!!
Golly, whatever could be horrifying about someone literally being dragged onscreen to the fiery pits of hell just because they did their job?
@@TheTonyahawk Horror comedies exist, but Drag Me to Hell is way more horrific than funny whereas Shaun of the Dead is if anything more comedy and human drama than horror. The zombies are mostly played for laughs and used for story.
Every World War 2 Documentary
See no evil 2, They, Invasion of the body snatchers, Saw,
A remake
Like a remake
So the pointless mashups are weekly?
Except Ben didn’t die in the first Hatchet movie and manages to survive until the third movie when a hatchet hits him killing him. Of course Marybeth didn’t know that hence why she kept saying everyone in the first movie was killed.
How about Speak No Evil?
It's on the list
1st

Wow I’m here early. Can I get pinned for being punctual
