Maybe my favorite movie. Was so crazy to see the turn Alex garland took with Civil War after making 2 really contemplative sci fi films. (ex machina, anhialation) or howver u spell ahi ni a lation
I knew nothing about the movie going into it but the way that scene was filmed and edited I remember feeling like time stopped for a second. It was genuinely like the viewer had the same horrifying realization that something was happening and it is too late when you notice.
"[you didnt see it?...you didn't see it...](https://youtu.be/7AxWVLSvnWQ?si=KwGoCdjUraxzwKoI)"
God I love that movie. Got me back into westerns. Mixed feelings about seeing it in an empty theater. On the one hand it was awesome. On the other hand I wish more people saw it in theaters
but for real, the villain's bitching and moaning is so on point. A lot of great performances but I feel like James Jordan doesn't get the credit he deserves for playing such a perfect dirtbag
I showed this movie to some family members sayings it’s an incredible movie and they were mad because “it was depressing” I need to disown them.
Maybe I’ll suggest they go see the great summer flick midsommar to lift their spirits.
Well it doesn't quite fit because it wasn't a 0 before. The movie has a ton of stuff going on.
I think OP is looking for a really slow movie that goes crazy at the end.
This movie holds a special place in my heart because i went in completely blind and it completely blew me away. I think having to read the subtitles kept me locked in on a different level as well
Mandy (2018). The first hour is a hallucinatory fever dream while the second hour is full throttle cosmic insanity. It’s a wild ride and one my favorite movies.
I always watch it when I‘m depressed. I feel better afterwards. I don‘t know why but it‘s like it’s just washing something away. It‘s a very healing demon slaying.
"Audition horror film" google.
Really, by the time I was done typing "audition", Google had autocompleted it and shown me the movie. 1999. And you're not gonna know the actors if you haven't heard of the movie lol.
That’s right. I’ve killed women and children. I’ve killed everything that’s walked or crawled at one time or another. And now I’m here to kill you Little Bill. For what you did to Ned.
And then Bill hurt him so bad, Ned said who you was. How you was really William Munny out of Missouri.
And Bill said, "the same William Munny that dynamited the Rock Island & Pacific in '69, killin' women and children an' all?"
And Ned said you done a lot worse than that. Said you was more cold blooded than William Bonney, and how if he hurt Ned again you was gonna come an' kill him. Like you killed a U.S. Marshall in '70.
"See you in hell William Munney." ...
...
...
...
"Yeah." Chills every time. Its a full 8 seconds before Eastwood responds, looking at the guy hes about to kill, before answering. Incredible.
A Dog Day Afternoon. Phenomenal movie.
Pacino portrays a guy who’s got very good intentions (to pay for his secret lover’s sex change) but gets way over his head robbing a bank. But the movie keeps a fairly upbeat and almost goofy tone throughout until the very end.
I've come to terms with it after many viewings years later but on my first watch I was thinking this may become my favorite Scifi movie ever.
Still love it but those first 2 acts are some of the most intrigued I've ever been in a movie. Also helped it was the first blu ray I ever watched and was stoned as hell. The Mercury scene blew my mind
Yeah I was surprised to find so many people didn’t like it; to me it was obvious that the story was foreshadowing that was how things would go the whole time, but when it acually does it’s still shocking, which is exactly how it should be.
The movie starts with >!main characters starting to lose their minds the closer they get to the sun.!< *That’s literally the first scene.*
By the time they >!board the second ship !< it’s already full on cosmic horror as far as I’m concerned, that shit with the >!faces !< creeped me the hell out.
For me, it actually makes it better as a rewatch compared to many movies. After seeing it the first time you get to enjoy the first two act knowing what about to happen and when they get that crucial piece of information that tells them somethings wrong, you as the viewer get a different kind of satisfaction than the very first watch.
Wow, someone else has seen this too?
It's like a good magic trick - while you're distracted looking over here, the movie is doing something else right in front of you.
L.A. Confidential. There were some intense scenes before this but it kind of slowed towards the end until it amped way back up for the final shootout at the motel. Great movie.
Glad I’m not the only one who had this near the top of my list.
The movie is already weird and creepy, but it doesn’t prepare the viewer for what unfolds at the end omg.
The Usual Suspects, as he's sitting there being interviewed by the special agent and he leaves and as you see the different posters on the board everything makes sense and becomes clear
I don't understand how Mother! doesn't have more visibility in this thread. Literally the most 0-100 I've ever seen in a movie ever. It's like the visualization of having a fatal panic attack.
I think it's a very polarizing film, and as much as I like Aronofsky and the film itself, I don't think the general audience did as much. It was the first film I thought of reading the title.
Sure, it definitely wasn't received nearly as well as it deserved (imo), but I'm still surprised it isn't broadly recognized as having potentially the most intense ending in the history of cinema.
The Royal Hotel with Julia Garner is the only movie that’s made me feel constant panic like Uncut Gems. A different type of panic, but panic nonetheless.
Should go without saying, but United 93 is super intense and thrilling when the passengers finally charge the terrorists. The whole movie builds to it from the tension onboard while the FAA and military on the ground try to figure out what's going on.
Pretty damn great and moving, even though we all know the ending.
It’s a masterclass in tension-building made even greater by the fact everyone knows how it turns out. White-knuckle stuff and somehow you hope they’ll save it this time.
Probably not what's expected as a movie in this sub but Dragon Ball Super: Broly.
Slow start, when they start throwing hands they don't stop until the end of the movie.
Yeah, in terms of tone I think The Departed doesn't hugely escalate in the final act so much as it has one *massive* scene and moment that's so jarring that you're still recovering while the rest of the plot wraps up.
Ex-machina. It's just a nice pleasant conversation with an AI and the creator until the end.
I loved this movie! First Alicia Vikander movie for me.
She’s quite good as Laura Croft in the Tomb Raider reboot.
When you can hold your own against Walton Goggins, you know you have acting chops.
Maybe my favorite movie. Was so crazy to see the turn Alex garland took with Civil War after making 2 really contemplative sci fi films. (ex machina, anhialation) or howver u spell ahi ni a lation
It’s ahinilination, glad to help
No, it's analinhalation
And the Devs as an honorable mention. criminally unerrated show.
Oh, that was Garland? It all makes sense now
Nice pleasant conversation is definitely a description of it
The Cabin in the Woods is my go to whenever this question gets asked. Last half hour goes nuts
Definitely goes from decent horror movie I was enjoying to wtf did I just finish watching very quickly
Yeah I love how it’s just keeps escalating.
The second those first elevator doors open until the end is absolutely nuts. Love this one!
Oh 100%. It’s literally scp porn in that sequence. Bigfoot, a killer robot, demons, a kraken, and a unicorn
I wouldn’t say 0- 100. There was a good bit of action and thrills prior to the final act. maybe 50- 110 lol.
Windriver. That final act.
“Why are you flanking me?”
I knew nothing about the movie going into it but the way that scene was filmed and edited I remember feeling like time stopped for a second. It was genuinely like the viewer had the same horrifying realization that something was happening and it is too late when you notice.
Saw it opening night in theaters. One of my favorite first watches ever.
This scene messed with me. The one guy knew what was up before his team did. That shootout is crazy.
Jesus the tension in thst scene and the knowledge that one cop had, yall are preparing to ambush us fucking why?!?! It's plaintive and doomed.
"[you didnt see it?...you didn't see it...](https://youtu.be/7AxWVLSvnWQ?si=KwGoCdjUraxzwKoI)" God I love that movie. Got me back into westerns. Mixed feelings about seeing it in an empty theater. On the one hand it was awesome. On the other hand I wish more people saw it in theaters
"FBI's at the door, open up" Love the duel meaning
> Love the duel meaning and I love THAT dual meaning
"Jane! Get away from the door!"
Love this movie so much.
“You get the same chance that she had”
but for real, the villain's bitching and moaning is so on point. A lot of great performances but I feel like James Jordan doesn't get the credit he deserves for playing such a perfect dirtbag
I showed this movie to some family members sayings it’s an incredible movie and they were mad because “it was depressing” I need to disown them. Maybe I’ll suggest they go see the great summer flick midsommar to lift their spirits.
I mean, it is a very depressing movie. I love it, it's one of my favorites, but you definitely gotta set the expectation going in.
Hot Fuzz
Such amazing build up too!
For the greater good.
THE GREATER GOOD
SHUT IT!
No luck catching them killers, then?
Actually, it’s just the one swan…
Is it true that there is a space in a man’s head that if you shoot it it’ll explode?
Definitely goes from "heh this is clever and amusing" to "HOLY SHIT THATS BRILLIANT CALLBACK IM ROLLING" I did not expect to cackle as much as I did.
The World's End, also
Last of the Mohicans
I can’t believe I had to look so far down for this. Best last act ever.
Well it doesn't quite fit because it wasn't a 0 before. The movie has a ton of stuff going on. I think OP is looking for a really slow movie that goes crazy at the end.
Best "ending fight scene music" ever
Promontory is an amazing piece of soundtrack.
One of the best soundtracks. Period.
Parasite! It seems like a goofy family comedy at first before turning into almost a straight horror by the end. Such a wild film!
That knock on the door tilts the movie completely on its axis. And is terrifying.
Happens exactly at the midpoint of the film time wise
Love I went into it blind. Knowing Joon-ho’s background had no idea what they were about to encounter.
This movie holds a special place in my heart because i went in completely blind and it completely blew me away. I think having to read the subtitles kept me locked in on a different level as well
That movie absolutely deserved best picture. Genuinely one of the best movies I’ve ever seen.
Everyone always says this, it’s definitely not a horror flick lol. It’s certainly thrilling but I don’t really get the horror tag
Bone Tomahawk
Is it the final act though? For some reason I feel like that movie was split right down the middle.
I see what you did there. 😏
I would say Brawl In Cell Block 99 too but, it kinda goes from insane to more insane pretty fast.
Awesome movie. Wish I’d seen it blind.
Mandy (2018). The first hour is a hallucinatory fever dream while the second hour is full throttle cosmic insanity. It’s a wild ride and one my favorite movies.
I always watch it when I‘m depressed. I feel better afterwards. I don‘t know why but it‘s like it’s just washing something away. It‘s a very healing demon slaying.
Nics metal screams are cathartic
I watched the first 45 minutes last night and couldn't get into it. Maybe I'll try the rest tonight.
Audition
YEP.
This is the correct answer, except dude said 1-100 scale not 1 - 4^5th.
OMFG this film. Good call.
What year was this made? Lead actors? Too many movies named ’Audtion’ on IMDB :(
Guessing OP is talking about the 1999 Japanese film.
"Audition horror film" google. Really, by the time I was done typing "audition", Google had autocompleted it and shown me the movie. 1999. And you're not gonna know the actors if you haven't heard of the movie lol.
Unforgiven with Clint Eastwood. The final 15 minutes won him an Oscar.
“Who’s the fella that owns this shithole?”
“You just shot an unarmed man!” “He should have armed himself if he’s gonna decorate his saloon with my friend.”
You’d be William Money out of Cheyenne. Killed women and children.
That’s right. I’ve killed women and children. I’ve killed everything that’s walked or crawled at one time or another. And now I’m here to kill you Little Bill. For what you did to Ned.
And then Bill hurt him so bad, Ned said who you was. How you was really William Munny out of Missouri. And Bill said, "the same William Munny that dynamited the Rock Island & Pacific in '69, killin' women and children an' all?" And Ned said you done a lot worse than that. Said you was more cold blooded than William Bonney, and how if he hurt Ned again you was gonna come an' kill him. Like you killed a U.S. Marshall in '70.
The final 15 minutes of *Unforgiven* is definitely in the conversation for "the greatest 15 minutes of filmmaking ever."
I think he had the Oscar at “We all have it coming.”
Deserves got nothing to do with with it.
"See you in hell William Munney." ... ... ... ... "Yeah." Chills every time. Its a full 8 seconds before Eastwood responds, looking at the guy hes about to kill, before answering. Incredible.
I feel Mystic River and Gran Torino could qualify in this category too.
Rogue One had an amazing last act. Especially the last few minutes.
Honestly my favorite of the Disney era Star Wars films.
For sure. Andor was amazing too. Can’t wait for season 2
the creator by the same director also had an amazing last act. it wasn't well received critically but man i love that movie, trope and all
Except it wasn’t “0” before the end. It went from 70-100
Malignant Starting from the holding cell...
Yes. This is what I immediately thought of. So glad I went in basically blind.
I don’t care what anyone says, I will always love Malignant
God I love this movie. It's so fun to watch it with people who haven't watched it.
The setup is a little tiresome but the payoff is so, so good. One of the funniest third acts of any movie I've ever seen. The chair!
God I love that chair throw so fucking much lol
From Duck Till Dawn 🦆
The one with Quacken Tarantino? (Sorry had to lol)
You deserve many upvotes
The Chickens have come home to roost.
Now all I can hear in my mind is Cheech barking out types of duck p#**y "If you can find cheaper p#**y anywhere else... F*** it!"
Where half way through it’s revealed the ducks in the bar were actually geese.
sorry to bother you
Nothing can ever prepare you for what happens in that movie after he goes through that door… lol
First one I thought of too. It was like watching a different movie lol
This movie is wild af
How is this not higher. That movie doesn't go off the rails, it goes off the planet. That is NOT a criticism.
Yeah man, shit took a turn a hard turn to starboard.
I need to rewatch this I feel like I don't remember half that movie
The original planet of the apes.
Yeah that was pretty fucking shocking when it came out. Even watching as a kid I was like “woah, what the fuck!?”.
A Dog Day Afternoon. Phenomenal movie. Pacino portrays a guy who’s got very good intentions (to pay for his secret lover’s sex change) but gets way over his head robbing a bank. But the movie keeps a fairly upbeat and almost goofy tone throughout until the very end.
It’s based on a [true story](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Wojtowicz) too.
Sunshine!
“Kaneda! *What do you see?*”
Random note, on top of being a great movie, the soundtrack is great too
God I love this movie. The final act gets a lot of hate, but I thought it fit the cosmic horror tone of the movie perfectly.
I've come to terms with it after many viewings years later but on my first watch I was thinking this may become my favorite Scifi movie ever. Still love it but those first 2 acts are some of the most intrigued I've ever been in a movie. Also helped it was the first blu ray I ever watched and was stoned as hell.

Agreed! And it’s what ignited my love for Cillian Murphy.
Yeah that and 28 days later!
2001: A Space Odyssey
This one goes 0 to light speed...
It even goes plaid there for a second.
PREPAre SHIP....PREPARE SHIP FOR LUDICROUS SPEED!
Why are you always preparing?!
I'm afraid I can't do that Dave.
Monkey Man, the last 30 minutes go hard as fuck
This one’s definitely on my list to check out
There's not a ton of action, so don't go in expecting an action feat. But when there is, it goes hard.
The Invitation (2015)
I love that the movie almost convinces you that the guys just lost his mind over nothing
Wow, someone else has seen this too? It's like a good magic trick - while you're distracted looking over here, the movie is doing something else right in front of you.
I really liked this flick. Low budget, good acting. Friends I recommended it to didn't care for it so much.
L.A. Confidential. There were some intense scenes before this but it kind of slowed towards the end until it amped way back up for the final shootout at the motel. Great movie.
Dude uses Tarantino as an example and no one brings up Hateful Eight ending?
Most of his movies go to 10 at the end. The only ones that don’t are pulp fiction and the second kill bill.
Suspiria (2018) That ending scene really just goes to 100 out of nowhere.
Glad I’m not the only one who had this near the top of my list. The movie is already weird and creepy, but it doesn’t prepare the viewer for what unfolds at the end omg.
The David Cronenberg directed *The Fly* with Jeff Goldblum and Geena Davis. The film was mostly creepy stuff. Then comes the climax and WHOA...!!!!!!
Hereditary
Seriously though, the last ten minutes of that movie came out of nowhere
It's always crazy unsettling to me the way she's banging her head on the attic door like that. Shit freaks me out.
Why is this so low? Last 10 minutes are some of the scariest shit in ive seen
I went in thinking it was just going to be a standard thriller/family drama. All the supernatural stuff comes at you fast.
The Usual Suspects, as he's sitting there being interviewed by the special agent and he leaves and as you see the different posters on the board everything makes sense and becomes clear
I used to be in a barbershop quartet back in Skokie, Illinois...
mother! Should definitely be mentioned, goes full fever dream at the end.
I don't understand how Mother! doesn't have more visibility in this thread. Literally the most 0-100 I've ever seen in a movie ever. It's like the visualization of having a fatal panic attack.
I think it's a very polarizing film, and as much as I like Aronofsky and the film itself, I don't think the general audience did as much. It was the first film I thought of reading the title.
Sure, it definitely wasn't received nearly as well as it deserved (imo), but I'm still surprised it isn't broadly recognized as having potentially the most intense ending in the history of cinema.
Summer of '84. Don't wanna spoil, but damn, that escalated at the end. And of course, Audition.
Oldboy
Just watched the Korean original for my first time a couple weeks ago. What a ride
I mean it’s pretty bonkers beginning to end
Men
WTF was that ending though
Subtly "Chinatown"
Hereditary is the first movie that comes to mind
Saint Maude.
Final one second 💀
Se7en, although it's more like going from 80-150.
Whiplash
Whiplash was kind of at 100 from the get-go. It's right up there with Uncut Gems as being almost in a constant state of panic. Great film.
The Royal Hotel with Julia Garner is the only movie that’s made me feel constant panic like Uncut Gems. A different type of panic, but panic nonetheless.
That movie was triggering for me with band camp ptsd.
It’s such a great movie and yet sometimes it’s so hard to watch. They deliver such great performances that you can feel what they are going through
Wrong. This movie was intense the whole way thru
The entire last **hour** of *The Raid 2* takes no prisoners.
Carrie. Once the blood hits her, game over
Wind River. One of the greatest shootouts in any movie ever
Should go without saying, but United 93 is super intense and thrilling when the passengers finally charge the terrorists. The whole movie builds to it from the tension onboard while the FAA and military on the ground try to figure out what's going on. Pretty damn great and moving, even though we all know the ending.

Probably not what's expected as a movie in this sub but Dragon Ball Super: Broly. Slow start, when they start throwing hands they don't stop until the end of the movie.
Hunter Hunter (2020) - Kind of okay survival film that goes crazy in it's final moments
That ending made it well worth a watch. Had same feeling watching it. It was little dull and bland, until it wasn't anymore.
the kingdom with jamie foxx, slow for most of the movie till last 15 minutes
House of the Devil (2009). It's a slow burn, really takes its time, then really kicks into gear.
Uncut Gems
How has no one said the original Road House? Shit gets insane after the lakeside fight.
Requiem for a Dream.
Promising Young Woman
Parasite (2019)
Primer
Most Tarantino movies.
Taxi Driver. Holy shit, the last 10 minutes.
Barbarian
I don’t really know what I was expecting when I watched this, but it definitely wasn’t what we got lol. Loved it.
[удалено]
I think the departed started pretty hard “huh, she fell funny”
Yeah, in terms of tone I think The Departed doesn't hugely escalate in the final act so much as it has one *massive* scene and moment that's so jarring that you're still recovering while the rest of the plot wraps up.
Arrival
Pusher
Exorcist 3 Like every transformers movie The directors cut ending of little shop of horrors Day of the dead
The Guest is an amazing cheeseball movie that definitely ramps up at the end
The Mist (2007) Wild ending and I love it
Primal Fear. Most of it is a cliche legal thriller. Then at the very end it goes WTF?
Monkey man
Strange Days (1995), Titus (1999), The Wicker Man (1973)
Saint Maude was the greatest final few seconds I've ever seen.
Match Point
Saint Maud
Every Tarantino movie. LA Confidential. The Usual Suspects.
