10 WTF Moments From Recent Horror Movies
2. Sir Jimmy Crystal - 28 Years Later
It's no exaggeration to say that not a single solitary soul saw the end of 28 Years Later coming.
In the final minutes of the movie, young Spike (Alfie Williams) returns to the mainland, where he's attacked by a fleet of the infected. After shooting one with an arrow, he's met by a blond-haired man decked out in a tracksuit and bling (Jack O'Connell), who introduces Spike to his gang of similarly attired goons.
Said goons then team up to flip around and kill the assembled infected with various bladed weapons.
Because this isn't insane enough, it's also scored to a heavy metal cover of the Teletubbies theme, before the gang leader introduces himself to Spike as Jimmy, revealing him to be the very same younger Jimmy (Rocco Haynes) glimpsed in the film's prologue.
This is without even getting into the fact that Jimmy and his crew are clearly styled after disgraced British TV presenter Jimmy Savile, the implications of which are nauseating and will presumably be explored in the soon-to-release sequel 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple.
Whether you dug this intentionally jarring, intensely WTF ending or not, it was certainly something that nobody predicted.
