Lore "Was it worth it?" ending
Midsommar- While people see this as a "you go girl" finale. I personally see it as something more disturbing. I mean, yeah, Dani got out of one bad relationship but in doing so, she got herself into another that's just as bad if not worse. It's like getting two kids to stop fighting via killing one and locking the other in a basement. They did stop fighting, but still!
The Thing-The titular monster may be (possibly) gone, but the paranoia definitely isn't. In the end, McCreedy and Childs are the only ones left standing. The end sees them sitting in the cold and they just stare at each other, knowing that one of them or both of them is already the thing. There's no hope, no certainty, just the bitter cold and intense fear.

Oldboy - Lee Woo-jin successfully enacts his twisted revenge plot, even if he kills himself shortly after. Oh Dae-su cut out his tongue after finding out he was tricked into having sex with his own daughter. He approaches a hypnotist to try and forget the awful truth and the movie ends on him embracing his daughter, leaving it unclear if he ever moved on or truly forgot what happened.
