10 MORE Horror Movies That Go Totally Insane At The End

3. Under Paris

Under Paris, in which various characters try to stop a deadly shark hiding in Paris' underwater catacombs, looked like the latest cynically stupid movie in the mostly unwatchable horror subgenre that is the shark movie, and sure enough, it is a silly and disposable affair. Having said this, Under Paris won't be forgotten, unlike many other similar films. Why? Its ending goes unexpectedly hard. 

After all, how many shark movies end with an army of sharks colonizing the world's rivers? Just one, and that's Under Paris. 

It turns out that the main shark antagonist, which has been named Lilith, can give birth through parthenogenesis, meaning she can reproduce asexually, and soon, there's a massive school of mutant sharks in the Seine River. During a chaotic attack sequence that unfolds during a Paris Triathlon, the movie's main characters kill many of the sharks, but this is ultimately a rare shark feature where the shark wins, as Lilith survives the attacks, and the efforts to kill her with explosives only succeed in causing a manmade tsunami that floods Paris. 

Under Paris concludes with two survivors sitting on a building's roof while surviving sharks circle them. Shortly thereafter, the end credits appear to show Lilith's offspring colonizing the major rivers of the world. 

So, is Under Paris good? No, not really, but it deserves praise for the absolute insanity of its conclusion, which went far above the call of duty.
