8 Scariest Twist Movie Endings That Will Keep You Up At Night

8. Drag Me To Hell

Playing out as somewhere between horror and comedy, many don't realise the tongue-in-cheek humour lying underneath Drag Me To Hell's deadly premise. It's easy to think that Sam Raimi really takes talking goats and vomiting corpses as serious additions to his horror arsenal when they're surrounded by such an intimidating demonic presence, as the Lamia really is played out as jarringly effective throughout the movie in comparison.

Hunting down Christine when she becomes cursed by an angry customer at her bank job, the Lamia tortures her for three days before finally coming to take - or rather, drag - her soul to hell. Whilst the events of the film lead us to believe Christine has managed to avoid her fate by passing on the curse, nothing ever works out that neatly in the world of horror movies.

Christine falls in front of an oncoming train before a firey pit opens beneath her, replete with damned hands pulling her in, and disappears into the underworld to the shock of a very concerned boyfriend - who's essentially watched his fiance melt into an infernal skeleton. Not ideal for the wedding really.

Drag Me To Hell is guilty of the classic switcheroo, giving us the perfect happy ending as an antidote to the struggles of the movie before pulling the rug out; revealing everything to be unfair, horrible, and downright disturbing to great effect. That, plus a man vomiting a kitten earlier on makes the whole thing pretty terrifying.
