The plot twists that made their movies pointless.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT While twist endings can be great, some movie endings are so frustrating that they render the entire proceeding plot pointless in retrospect. Some movies can have incredibly uplifting, hopeful endings . Other movies have cruel endings that stun audiences but are undeniably fitting in terms of theme and tone, such as Darabont’s later King adaptation The Mist.
12 I Am Legend While the upcoming I Am Legend 2 will reinstate the 2007 movie’s alternate ending, the ending that theatrical viewers got was a disaster. Thanks to the decision to jettison the book’s brilliant original twist, I Am Legend ended with Will Smith’s taciturn Dr. Robert Neville sacrificing himself to wipe out the Darkseekers and save humanity with his experimental vaccine.
7 The Woman In Black Daniel Radcliffe's 2012 horror, The Woman In Black, is a brutally effective chiller for much of its runtime, but the ending is more exasperating than scary. After earnestly trying everything imaginable to appease her spirit, the hero is inexplicably killed by the Woman in Black regardless. What was clearly intended to be a last lingering shock instead makes the entire movie feel like an aimless shaggy dog story.
4 Brazil Brazil’s ending is momentarily cheerful as Sam escapes his captors, overthrows the dystopian government, and wins the day. Then, the movie reveals none of that happened, and he has really lost his mind thanks to constant torture. A rare instance of this ending working well, Brazil’s bleak coda is thematically fitting even though it does make Sam’s journey feel entirely pointless. 2010’s Repo Men even retooled this in a rare twist ending that saved an otherwise bad movie.
