I suppose Terminator 3 could be another, where they fail to stop the Nukes and billions of people end up dying. They at least don't come back either. I thought about T3 too. It's a bit of a twist. Nuclear Armageddon is happening outside. Billions dying with really no visual aids, just quiet. It's subtly eerie. T3 is a mixed bag, but I say it with no sarcasm its ending was its best part. As Jake the Snake Roberts might say, it wasn't the beginning of the end, but the end of the beginning.
It could have been the end. End the trilogy with its starting point. I could have left it at T2 but I could also leave it at T3. The next two made me want a next one so I didn't have to leave it at either of them.

Personally, I didn't find the ending of IW horrifying. Yes, it was daring and uncommon for a blockbuster and I could see how you could be shocked if you're very attached to the characters. But horrifying is a word that I only associate with the most extreme and disturbing endings, but maybe that's just my interpretation of the word. Also, a lot of the shock for me was gone due to the fact that we kinda knew most of the 'important' people that died would come back anyways. But I think that's beyond the point, so let's get back on topic. Here are a few movies I've seen with horrifying endings:
*Hereditary
*Under the Skin
*It Comes At Night
*mother!
*The Thing
*The Mist
*The Shining (not so much horrifying, but I got so many chills the first time I saw the ending. I don't want to spoil it, but anyone who has seen it knows what I mean)

The Vanishing (1988). Not the dumb ass American remake which changed the ending because that's America for you, but the original released in the Netherlands. Why? How does it end? A guy's girlfriend is kidnapped by a serial killer after they have an argument, he spends the whole movie trying to track her down, and just as he thinks he has the upper hand against the kidnapper, the tables turn and he ends up captured, too. They are both buried alive. The end.

I don't want to spoil it, but anyone who has seen it knows what I mean) Is it okay for you to explain how those films end and why you found those endings to be horrifying? Of course. But since I will be spoiling these movies (ofc within spoiler brackets) I will say that if you haven't seen one of them, I recommond to watch it before reading what I've written about it here. HereditaryDuring the movie crazier and crazier cult-like possessive stuff is going on. At the end, it is revealed that the whole movie was about a satanic cult finding and giving a human body for the demon Paimon, one of the 'eight kings of hell'. The movie ends with a coronation where Paimon is surrounded by naked and decapitated people bowing to him and hailing the arrival of their ruler. Under the SkinUnder the Skin is told through the eyes of an alien, played by Scarlett Johansson, who lures and captures humans in a substance that eventually kills them. Near the end, she is attacked by a man in the woods who tries to molest/rape her. When he tears her skin and sees she's an alien, he runs away. Meanwhile the alien removes its entire human skin to show the alien underneath. The man returns and burns the alien alive. It Comes At NightThis movie is about people surviving during a deadly viral pandemic. The movie centers around paranoia and fear of the disease. After everything goes wrong, in the end we find out our main characters have been infected by the virus and slowly succumb to the disease. mother!If you haven't seen this one, I'm not sure if I can even explain it, it's easily one of the craziest movies I've ever seen. The movie is about a couple (Jennifer Lawrence & Javier Bardem) who live in a house away from the city. Over time, more and more strangers visit their house and are let in by Javier Bardem's character, while his pregnant wife doesn't like it one bit. The whole thing escelates over time until hundreds of people are in their house and craziness ensues. Javier Bardem's character chooses the side of the many people who love him over his wife. Near the end, Jennifer Lawrence's character gives birth, but her baby is stolen and eaten by the crowd. After that she finds gasoline and decides to burn the whole house with her and everyone in it. In the end Javier Bardem's character saves Jennifer Lawrence's character and resets everything including the house and everyone who died. It's all one big biblical methaphor where Javier Bardem's character is God or some sort of God striving for perfection that doesn't exist, Jennifer Lawrence's character & the house symbolise the earth, which is destroyed by humans in every iteration. I can't really explain it better thana this, you have to see it to understand it. The ThingThe Thing is about a shapeshifting creature that takes the identity of a human and tries to kill everyone else. The movie is filled with paranoia about who is real and who is the creature pretending to be a human. In the end, 2 people survive and are outside where it's freezing. However, it is never revealed if 'the thing' survives or if one of the two surviving 'humans' is actually 'the thing'. However, it is mplied that one of the two surivors is actually 'the thing'. It's just amazing and creepy in a way that not many movies are. The MistThe movie is about monsters that live within a spreading mist. The main characters take shelter in a supermarket. Eventually they have to drive into the mist, but are stranded. Knowing that the monsters will come and eat them, the main character decides to mercy kill everyone else, including his own son. However, then the army arrives with survivors and it turns out that killing the rest of his team of survivors, including his son was all for nothing as they all would've survived had they waited a little longer. The ShiningThe Shining is about a family living in a hotel in the wilderness and the father Jack slowly going crazy. He starts to see people in the ballroom and talks to them as if they were actual humans. In the end, he goes full murderer and eventually dies of the cold while chasing his son with an axe through a maze outside. However, in the final scene we zoom in on a painting of the hotel from 1921 (the movie takes place in 1975 iirc) and in this picture we see Jack smiling and standing among the many other (currently already dead people) in the ballroom. It's one of the most chilling and amazing reveals in all of movie history imo.
