10 Endings That Make Movies Impossible To Rewatch

7. Oh, It's Plants - The Happening

Those that made it through 90 minutes of Mark Wahlberg implausibly cast as a high school science teacher looking perpetually confused alongside an even more bewildered looking Zooey Deschanel and her adulterous tiramisu subplot were mistreated to one of the most idiotic endings in recent cinema history.

After running around trying to work out why people are committing suicide en masse all of a sudden, the big reveal comes. Is it some evil terrorists spreading a suicide-inducing airborne biological weapon? A clinical depression epidemic sweeping across the nation? Was Bruce Willis dead the whole time? None of the above – it was plants. Yes, plants.

Apparently pissed off at people buggering up the planet, plant life has gone rogue and vowed vengeance on all of humankind by releasing some neurotoxin with more powerful suicidal effects than listening to a Radiohead album. No doubt an attempt on Shyamalan’s part to add a topical environmental disaster element to his particular brand of plot twist horror, but one that fell flat on its backside.
