    Yes, I thought it was great.

    The American edit managed to ruin it completely by cutting the 30 most important bloody seconds of the whole movie, the bit the title actually refers to, which was quite a feat. :rolleyes:

    Thats true, the Americans wanted to give a "happy ending"

    To a horror film ;)

    Apparently Alias season 2 finale has one of the best all time cliffhangers/twists.

    Havent seen a single episode of it but Ive just noticed that Jennifer Garner plays the lead so might be tempted to give it a look.

    Oldboys ending was completely unexpected.

    I liked the end of Sons of Anarchy Season 4.
    The Danny Trejo twist was really unexpected.

    The Game was very good and also The Departed where DiCaprio gets shot as the door of the lift opens, it was very sudden and wasn't expecting it at all

    The Descent had a decent one
    After various thrills and spills, the last surviving member of the caving party finally finds her way out, bursting into sweet daylight and her salvation.


    Until she wakes up and realises she’s still trapped.

    An evil twist on the "it was all a dream" plot device


    I was horrified at that however in the sequel doesn't it
    continue with her waking up in hospital? That she really did escape:). I was pleased about that

    Lost
    When we found out Locke was dead.

    God, so many unresolved issues in that show.

    When I think back on all the series of Lost, I really wonder why I kept watching it. Overall, a huge disappointment.

    The whole film was a struggle..everybody remembers the bit with the bloke rotting in bed and the head in the hatbox at the end but jeesus the rest was tedious...Morgan Freeman monologuing ( in his lovely voice admittedly )and SWAT teams shining torches around the place whilst shouting "clear"....did nobody ever think to turn on the lights in any of these buildings??

    Seriously?

    Seven is a modern classic. Fincher shot the film so dark because of the story's tone and I think he nailed it

    That moment ,every time, in a David Lynch film where he literally loses the plot and messes the whole thing up, its almost like a child who gets bored of the picture they're drawing and starts scribbling all over it!

    In the 5th Episode of the 5th Season of Breaking Bad, episode is called "Dead Freight", right at the very end of the episode when Todd Alquist casually
    shoots dead the young boy on the dirtbike
    .

    It just happened so quickly, so cold-bloodedly and just so casually. Nothing prepares you for it. It happens in literally the final moments of the episode and while you are still trying to digest the horror of what just happened, the screen cuts black and the credits roll. It is like a sucker punch to the gut and is a horrific moment that will make your jaw drop.

    American Beauty.

    When the gun appears at the back of Kevin Spacey's head. And then you see who did it.

    A dark, but superb film.

    Another one that just struck me is from The Sopranos, in the 12th episode of the 5th series, "Long-Term Parking".

    It involves the execution of a long-standing member of the series. The execution is carried out by
    Silvio Dante
    . The execution comes about after it is revealed that the character
    Adriana LaCerva
    is an
    FBI informant/cooperating witness
    . The shocking part of it is that in the run up to the execution,
    Adriana daydreams that she is packing up and leaving New Jersey on her own to start a new life after being told that Christopher attempted suicide.
    However, the scene then switches to
    Silvio
    's car. A quick turn onto a dirt road reveals the lies told, and a scramble and two gunshots later, we are left numbed by the sudden and brutal slaying...

    Re; Family Guy, I reckon you're right.

    From this page there's rumours of a hoax/fake death (the URL alone is a spoiler so dont click it unless you're upto date on the show)


    "Tonight fans of "Family Guy" were totally surprised when Brian Griffin died. He has been part of the show since the start eleven years ago. On Nov. 24, E! Online shared an article that made it look like he is really dead, but proof is out there that might not be true at all.

    In Oct., an article was posted on EW all about two guests star that would be on an upcoming episode of the show. Glenn Howerton and Maya Rudolph will be on an episode that is all about Brian and he is a marathon runner in this episode. If you are a true fan of the show, you know that this episode has not aired yet. Doesn't that mean Brian has to come back again? The spoilers make it look that way!

    Now if you go to Wikia they have a list of the episodes for the rest of the season. Several of them have Brian's name in the title. Now that just wouldn't make any sense at all"
