What movies have you seen where you were left saying is that it? Or that doesn't make any sense whatsoever? What the f*ck was that?

Here's one I actually like but I have to admit the ending left something to be desired:

Quintet (1979) Trailer (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HWnZuykuYFw#)

Andrew Davis' The Package (1989) with its' truly WTF ending.

I honestly did not see that ending coming.  :buggedout:

Most notorious "That makes no sense" ending: Lucio Fulci's City of the Living Dead (1980). It just freeze frames a random scene.
Most notorious "WTF?" ending: Sleepaway Camp (1983).

That and the film's emulsion cracks.  :question: :buggedout:

CEMETERY MAN has an ending that must be seen to be believed.
And it's got Anne Falchi, too!

Worth mentioning: Blood Lake (1987). Bad SOV slasher but the odds where in the filmmakers favor for that amazing WTF? final shot.

2001:  A Space Odyssey springs to mind lol.  Before 2010 came out, I remember people saying they'd watched it 20 times and "Oh I think I finally figured out what the ending means!"

Supernova (2000) was another one.  Some people find an alien McGuffin and in the end it explodes or something.  They ask the ship's computer what will happen and it says something like "The universe may be destroyed...or something wonderful may happen."  Like WTF?  That's your ending lol?  

Probably the funniest one I can remember was Showdown at Area 51 (2007).  Aliens have a gigantic fleet of warships ready to invade earth, but our main characters destroy the McGuffin so they're like "Ah heck, mission over, return to base."  Like seriously, you guys have got dozens of spaceships the size of cities, and you're just giving up?   :bouncegiggle:  Talk about lazy and unmotivated.

Kinda like the Dr. Who (#11) where he talks an alien fleet out of zapping him. All those aliens and not one thinks 'Hay, lets try zapping him. It could work..."

He really depended on everyone knowing his reputation for that one...but one new guy who said "Why not?..."

Monster A Go-Go

Mama (2013)

The Last Horror Film

Pieces

Christmas Evil

Glad I wasn't the only one to think of this film.

Blair Witch Project, yeesh.

I liked the way this movie started but hated when it turned into full-blown comedy...

Explorers (1985) Original Trailer (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3X3VxBJzH68#)

VIDEODROME
But I guess the whole movie is pretty much a wtf.
Thinking logically you have to figure James Wood's character is schizophrenic, but that's no fun. I'd rather take what's happening as real.

I got completely losses at the end of Return To Horror High, but I did really like that film.

From Hell (2001)

The Happening

LOL!  Not just the ending but the whole film.

DRIVE-IN MASSACRE
DRILLER KILLER
INCEPTION
THE LAST EXORCISM - not 'wtf' so much as "wow, that really changed directions in a hurry"
pretty much every giallo ever

Signs

Yeah, M. Night Shyamalan is responsible for a lot of these, most of which prove somewhat disappointing...here's another: The Village

The Village (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lwq4oTboRi4#ws)

Men in Black has a bit of a startling ending. I kind of dug it although it is kind of a "WTF" ending...

Men In Black - Trailer (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vsQ41frO-kI#ws)

I hated the dark twist in The Mist...

The Mist (2007) - HD Trailer (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LhCKXJNGzN8#ws)

Planet of the Apes (2001)

the ending to "No Way Out" 1987, with Kevin Costner always confused me and wonder WFT

SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER




I can explain: he was actually the spy they'd been looking for all along.

I'm one of those people that actually likes the ending to The Mist, but I'll admit it took me some time to realize it.

I left the theater feeling like I had been hit in the stomach when I first saw it.  It stayed with me for a few days as well.  And that's when I understood I was feeling exactly how I should have felt and realized that the ending not only fit but was actually pretty good. It got me to care about a movie.  Even Stephen King has said he wished he had thought of the ending.

The original more ambiguous ending of the novella would have seen like sequel bait.   

I kinda second City of the Living Dead.  I just apply my own principle there: if it's a horror movie and the ending is WTF, then just assume the worst.

The Fear, the movie with the wooden dummy for an antagonist.  It wasn't so much a "What?" ending as a "Why?" ending.

Evil Things kinda had a WTF ending. I mean, I get it, but it relies too heavily on implication.

Also, Opera.

KILL LIST left me pretty nonplussed.
