7. Enemy (2013)

No ending on this list was remotely as unexpected as the pant-soilingly shocking final moments of Denis Villeneuve's psychological thriller Enemy.

After Adam (Jake Gyllenhaal) spends the movie attempting to deal with the revelation that he has a doppelganger living nearby, the film ends with him talking to "his" wife (Sarah Gadon) in their home.

When Adam heads into the bedroom to continue the conversation, he is faced with a gigantic tarantula, which cowers into the corner of the room as Adam looks oddly unafraid.

We've already dissected what the ending of Enemy could possibly mean, but whatever your interpretation of that final visual, it's sure to spike the viewer's heart-rate and get their sphincter firmly puckered.
