The film anyway. Those giant gut punch, pull the rug out from under you kind of endings? I know a lot of people didn't like the ending to that movie, but I love it and I use the same type of set ups and endings in my more Twilight Zone inspired short stories. It just has this...gut-wrenching type of feel to it. Like a giant "ooooh shit...." type of thing, and it's all so deliciouly bleak.

It was stupid and nonsensical but then again I find a lot of King's stuff overrated.

It was certainly unexpected. At the end of the day though, Id call it a good change of pace as far as endings go.

I feel like there should be more of them in mainstream movies but are often overused in indie stuff with the belief that a "**** you" ending is more artistic or whatever.

I read that when King saw the movie ending, he loved it, and wished he had ended it like that.

It's like, yes, I want to root for these characters, I really do, but sometimes shit just doesn't work out and there isn't always a happy ending.

Thought the ending was fucking great.
If they had waited just a bit longer they all couldve lived. Now he has to live with himself for the rest of his life knowing what he did. Now i do also have an issue with the ending as well. The movie makes it seem like they run out of gas and he unloads on the car all in a span of 15 seconds. If you run out of gas you gotta sit there for a little bit before firing it up. If they did that theyd all be alive. ***LOVE the ending & am father of 2 (11 & 13). ... Copied to Clipboard!

"balls to do that" Not as much of a fan because the good guys still win. Maybe not entirely, but in some way. With this one, no one in the main group gets a happy ending. There's no happy take-away unless you care deeply about the side characters and just general world. ... Copied to Clipboard!

I loved it too. Bold move from the film makers.
There was a deleted ending from the movie Dodgeball where the bad guys win. Ben Stiller's team wins and celebrate and the credits roll.
