10 Most Satisfying Horror Movie Reveals

10. "It's Not A Dud" - Blade II

In Guillermo del Toro's Marvel sequel, Blade (Wesley Snipes) must face off against a horde of mutated vampires called Reapers. Too powerful to face alone, the Daywalker is forced to ally with his bloodsucking enemies to combat this new threat.

After most of the Reapers are extinguished, the vampires unsurprisingly capture Blade, telling him they always intended to betray him. And when Blade tries to blow up the vamps with a bomb, his assistant, Scud - played by a pre-fame Norman Reedus - reveals he programmed the device not to detonate, since he was secretly allied with the nosferatus this entire time. 

Rather than leaving it there, though, the treacherous techie chastises his mentor for 90 seconds straight, bragging about how Blade's efforts were for nothing. However, as this triumphant monologue comes to a close, Blade points out he's known about Scud's true allegiance since day one and alerts him to the fact that the explosive in his hand isn't actually a dud. Before Scud has a chance to react, Blade activates the detonator and reduces his now-former-sidekick to a bloody pile.

Even though Scud was only revealed to be a traitor a few moments earlier, watching him being blown sky-high was immensely gratifying.
