More so than many other genres, horror movies are particularly reliant on their endings to make an impression, with the best of them able to save otherwise mediocre films. Finding a good way to tie off a narrative is especially important for horror movies, which thrive off the gradual buildup of terror that comes to a climax over time. Horror movie endings can be tragic, or, in rare instances, happy, but they're generally better the more shocking they are.
9 Sleepaway Camp A standard slasher made legendary by its ending As far as slasher premises go, Sleepaway Camp isn't an especially creative one. A lonely, misunderstood girl at a summer camp struggles to fit in with her peers, only to become surrounded by a series of grisly murders perpetrated by an unknown killer stalking the campgrounds.
7 Split Carried by James McAvoy's unleashed acting skill Another M. Night Shyamalan movie to be completely carried by its ending, Split presents an odd case for a horror movie. The film posits James McAvoy as a dissociative identity disorder system who kidnaps three teen girls, imprisoning them in a secretive underground facility.
5 Identity Typical horror tropes saved by a dramatic ending Riding the fine line between mystery thriller and straight-up horror, Identity is nothing impressive before the big reveal of its twist ending. Taking inspiration from Agatha Christie's classic whodunit And Then There Were None, the movie establishes a similar premise, following ten strangers sharing an isolated hotel in remote rural Nevada.
