    Gone Girl (2014). Then again, maybe that one counts as horror.

    I’m assuming that it’s been taken as read that this post will be full of spoilers.

    Fallen (1998). IMDB doesn’t include ‘horror’ in the genre list, but it’s got supernatural elements to it, I suppose.
    The Vanishing (1988) aka Spoorloos. Not the American remake, obvs.

    The Usual Suspects is the first one that comes to mind that isn’t horror and the villain winning by getting away. Does that fit the ‘evil wins’ concept you are looking for?

      That was more chaos winning than evil. Blowing up credit institutions and wiping everyone’s debt is far from evil in most people’s eyes.

          It’s a point raised in the movie. There were no people in the buildings because the bombings were done at night and the only people that would be in the buildings were a part of the group and knew to be out of them.

            Fair point. Although I suspect you could still kill people that just happen to be walking by the buildings and such.

      [META] My new favorite hobby is clicking on deleted comments to see if you really deleted it. Nope you didn’t.

      Doesn’t count if you go by the entire multi movie arc, but the first Marvel film with Thanos (Infinity War) fits the bill.

      I remember seeing it in the cinema, when the credits rolled everyone was kinda stunned.

    In The Company Of Men

    Devil’s Advocate

    Interview With The Vampire

    Se7en

    Nightcrawler

    American Psycho

    Arguably No Country For Old Men

    A lot of documentaries e.g: Paradise Lost.

      I’d say evil loses quite definitively in that one - although the final minute or so makes it clear the contest of wills isn’t over.

        The reason why I think it wins is it becomes obvious Satan can have do-overs and he’s already falling for one of them. He hasn’t actually escaped, and Satan is still having fun at his expense.

    Dick Dastardly gets Muttley back in the new Scooby Doo movie. So he does get what he was after.

    I am going to put in little shop of horrors since it is a musical. And I really would not consider it horror.

    For those of you that don’t know there are actually 2 versions of this movie. The original release version where the plants lose and the ORIGINAL test audience version where the plants win.

      The director insists the alien plants winning was the original ending he wanted, but he was forced to give the film a happy ending at the last minute. The director’s cut gives you the original ending in all it’s evil glory.

      There’s also an original Little Shop of Horrors released in 1960 that stars a young Jack Nicholson. That film has a different ending than both endings of the 1986 remake.

      The original ending was included on one of the recent home video releases. If you like the movie and haven’t seen it yet, you really need to.

      Globo Gym wins in the original version of Dodgeball, but the test audiences hated it so they added the blindfolded stand-off. I’m mostly happy they changed it, but that original ending would have been so ballsy. Also would make the subtitle better, since most “true” underdogs do lose.
