COLOSSUS SPOILER WARNING: I thougt Colossus was pretty clear - the computers Colossus and Guardian have taken over, for the "good" of humanity enforcing "peace" and if you don't like it, they'll blow you out of existence.

This one spider movie (can't recall the title) it ends with the survivors (who have barricaded themselves in a building) looking outside only to discover the entire town is coated in a spider web.

From my MST3K collection;

I thought Sidehackers just abroubtly ends.  Yeah, you can figure out what happens,  Rommel dies and the bad guy is arrested by the approaching cops (the movie's old, I don't care about posting spoiler warnings for it)  

But all we see in the film is Rommel being shot in the back.  
At least, that's what Gary Busey told me...

A SERIOUS MAN bothered me in the theater because it ended so abruptly without resolution, but the more I think about it the less it bothers me.

WingedSerpent: The MST3K movies are often cut for time and content, so it may have made more sense in the original version.
I'll take you places the hand of man has not yet set foot...

That would be Kingdom of the Spiders, but I didn't really feel the way about the film.

Sidehackers was another film I thought about, but didn't bring up.  The film's ending blows.

We live in quite an interesting age. You can tell someone's sexual orientation and level of education from just their interests.

No Country For Old Men has a rather abrupt ending, but I think I like it better that way.


good call. haven't read the book, perhaps the book ends like that too, maybe.

THE ITALIAN JOB - the end is not exactly the place I thought it would end...a bit of a cliffhanger in fact  :teddyr:

NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN, the book, does end essentially the same, although the time-frames are a bit different.

Since we're comparing Coen brother films, A SERIOUS MAN, ends the same way.

But I think it was integral, especially in the case of A SERIOUS MAN, for those movies to end that way.
Every dead body that is not exterminated becomes one of them. It gets up and kills. The people it kills, get up and kill.

Dracula 3000 has one of the biggest WTF? endings ever.  It's just Erika Eleniak and Tiny Lister on a spaceship, cut to exterior view, spaceship explodes, roll credits.

The first Evil Dead movie.  The motorcycle from hell  :teddyr: approaches Ash and.. the end!

They had to fly into the sun or something to kill the vampire strain, right?  Lord that movie was stupid.

I came in to post A Serious Man but I see a couple people beat me to it. I'll add Barton Fink (kind of  a theme with the Coens, isn't it?) and There Will Be Blood.

Cujo, seriously it just ends. What happened about the cheating wife and the violent lover who wrecked the house???? It resolves nothing brought up in the story.
