10 Movies That Judged You At The End

1993's erotic thriller Sliver was evidently an attempt to cash-in on the storming success of Basic Instinct the year prior, and though a solid box office success, flopped with critics and failed to secure even a fraction of the same cultural cachet.

That might be in part because of the movie's outrageous final message to the audience. Sliver stars Stone as Carly Norris, a woman who moves into a New York City apartment and soon discovers its seedy underbelly.

While investigating a murder in the building, Carly eventually learns that its owner and her lover, Zeke Hawkins (William Baldwin), has installed a complex surveillance system throughout the building, allowing him to spy on the tenants.

And so, at film's end, once the murder has been solved, Carly shoots Zeke's surveillance room to pieces. She then directly faces the camera as she tells him, "Get a life," and clicks a remote control, literally turning the movie off as it fades to black and rolls the credits.

Given that Sliver is a film very much about voyeurism, this was clearly a case of writer Joe Eszterhas - who also penned Basic Instinct - mockingly shaming viewers for leering over Sharon Stone in another erotic thriller.
