10 Weirdest Endings In Horror Movies

Following the death of her husband, Harper (Jessie Buckley) rents a house on the outskirts of a quaint English village in a bid to escape her guilt. However, her trip descends into a nightmare when she’s tormented by the men who live there – all of which are portrayed by Rory Kinnear.

Spawning from the mind of writer-director Alex Garland, Men is as bold and bonkers as expected from the filmmaker behind Ex Machina and Annihilation. Moving at a slow-burn pace, Harper’s initial encounters with a naked stalker, a lustful vicar, and an unhelpful police officer slowly give way to pervasive pagan symbolism and surrealism as the film nears its climax in which Harper is besieged by the men (who all share the same wound she recently inflicted on the stalker).

It's here where Men gets shockingly weird. The stalker has transformed himself into the pagan figure seen on a stone carving and, in a graphic sequence, gives birth to himself multiple times until Harper's husband emerges. Each birth is more grotesque than the last while the men grow visibly weaker each time.

Whether understood as an allegory of toxic masculinity or historic misogyny, Garland has kept the ending's meaning ambiguous.
