No Happy Endings

Horrorific content by All Horror on November 07th, 2020 | Horror Lists
Hollywood loves a happy ending. Horror prefers hopeless, bloody and tragic. Watching someone ride off into the sunset is boring. Watching a blood-soaked Sally running and screaming down a desolate Texas highway at sunset, while a maniac with a chainsaw chases her down is sooo much better.
This list is a mere sampling of some quality horror movies that turned their backs on Hollywood and all their happiness.
If you're looking for unhappy, here's 33 of the best horror movies with no happy ending.

Unable to accept the doctor's diagnosis that her daughter should be permanently institutionalized for psychiatric care, Rose flees with her child, heading for the abandoned town in search of answers – and ignoring the protests of her husband. It's soon clear this place is unlike anywhere she's ever been. It's smothered by fog, inhabited by a variety of strange beings and periodically overcome by a living 'darkness' that literally transforms everything it touches. As Rose searches for her little girl, she begins to learn the history of the strange town and realizes that her daughter is just a pawn in a larger game.
