I nominate Pete Walker's The Comeback with Jack Jones as a disturbed musician trying to finish his latest album in a supposedly empty house. The ending where he realizes that not everything he experienced was in his mind is quite eerie. 😳😳
We shall meet in the place where there is no darkness.

MANOS, THE HANDS OF FATE. Say what you want about that movie, the ending is chilling.
Same goes for SLEEPAWAY CAMP, although the movie it's not that bad, just mediocre.

Ok not exactly crappy, but the ending of The Mist took it from me thinking of it as an average movie to a "Wow, what the hell!"

I am my own god
I require no shepherd

I can't think of the name of it now, but I remember one movie that felt very medicore right up until the reveal at the end.  It was kind of like Happy Death Day but it wasn't so tongue and cheek. 

In the movie, the lead girl gets attacked and killed by some man she'd never seen before.  Then she wakes up again and it's the same day.  She tried to avoid him but every day no matter where she goes she ends up getting attacked by him and killed. 

And it gets even creepier.  She sometimes sees his reflection in the mirror instead of her own.  Surveillance cameras can't pick him up, and when she finally does some research on him it turns out he was a murderer who has already been executed.  Also, the people around her, including friends and family seem to be hiding something from her. 

At the end of the movie, we're finally told what's going on.  She's in hell, and she is NOT the girl she thinks she is.  She's actually the murderer and she's going to spend the rest of eternity being stalked and murdered by himself.

Dragon Family is a bad and depressing Hong Kong action movie, but it has a terrific final action sequence, blending guns, fists, swords, and other stuff.  Choreographed by Lau Kar Leung, who you might know for his work on Legend of Drunken Master, Eight Diagram Pole Fighter, and many other classics. 

The movie is bad enough I don't recommend watching it, just watch the last ten minutes instead:

Sounds like Salvage?

That is a pretty slick ending.

The end of The Asylum's mockbuster ABRAHAM LINCOLN VS. ZOMBIES is quite poignant.  Lincoln has been trying to find a cure for an old flame who has been infected, and while visiting her he received a bite to the arm.  Knowing John Wilkes Booth has been looking for an opportunity to kill him, he pays a street urchin to let Booth know he will be at Ford's Theater that night, ensuring that he will die before he can turn into one of the undead.

Actually, that whole movie was far better than it had any right to be.
