Halloween 4 has a pretty sick ending. Not sure if unexpected but quite good to be honest. The screams of Dr. Loomis make the scene particularly awesome.

Has no one on this thread mentioned The Wicker Man?(the original, not the remake. For some reason I have avoided watching that one at all costs).

Agreed: that ending is really WTF. The ending to the follow-up film (The Wicker Tree) is even weirder.

The devil's rain.  The scene of a smiling Ernest borgnine hugging a guy who thought borgnine was his ladylove traumatized me for life...

BTW,  anyone here see the devil's rain?

THE GATES OF HELL/CITY OF THE LIVING DEAD
The ending must have gotten tampered with post-production or was simply just unfinished.  The 2 survivors of the zombie attack emerge from the crypt alive.  A boy they know runs towards them and they are happy to see him.  But for some reason the woman screams in terror and the film just ends!  WTF happened??

Edit:  Just read that the film for the original ending got coffee spilled on it!  I don't know what the original ending was supposed to be but it's got to be better than the finished product.

When I wrote my review on here a few years back, I didn't know what happened: maybe Fulci wanted to end the film the way it began.  :question:

Hey, thanks. I'm always in the shadows, to be honest never participated much.  :twirl:

I haven't seen the original but I'm pretty sure the endings are the same. To be honest, I really don't know why the remake got that reputation, I think it's just that "let's pick on Nicholas Cage" meme that goes around all the time. I watched the movie recently expecting a terribad experience and it's actually a quite entertaining film, with an awesome ending and some engaging parts. I mean, it's no masterpiece, but I would give it a 6/10, an ok movie to pass the time.
Other Cage's films like Knowing have been praised as "the best scifi flick of the year" and are complete garbage, at least after the first half hour, when apparently they switched scripts or something.

Fun fact: I watched The Wicker Man specifically for the "not the bees!!" scene. When the credits rolled and the scene never showed up I was angry and confused, so I looked it up and turns out, the version I watched is some kind of cut which tones down the torture scene. I was p**sed off.

No, but to my mind is notable for 2 reasons, excluding the rest of the cast, it stars William Shatner, and it's John Travolta's motion picture debut.
