Answers

  1. C. Psycho (1960) – Alfred Hitchcock’s masterpiece ends with Norman Bates in a police car, his mother’s personality dominating as her skull overlays his face. The other films feature serial killers but lack this specific eerie dissolve effect.
  2. B. Carrie (1976) – Sue’s nightmare caps Brian De Palma’s adaptation with Carrie’s hand bursting from her grave. Pet Sematary has resurrections but no grave-hand nightmare; others differ entirely.
  3. D. The Exorcist (1973) – Father Karras sacrifices himself by jumping out the window post-exorcism, rolling down the iconic 97 steps. The others involve exorcisms or demons without this precise staircase tumble.
  4. A. The Shining (1980) – Jack Torrance freezes in the Overlook maze; the final photo places him at the 1921 gala. Doctor Sleep continues the story but ends differently; others lack the maze or photo.
  5. B. Alien (1979) – Ripley blasts the xenomorph out the airlock of the Narcissus shuttle with Jonesy the cat. Prometheus and others are in the franchise but have distinct finales; Life has a similar premise but no shuttle ejection.
  6. D. The Fly (1986) – Veronica crushes Seth Brundle’s Brundlefly form in the telepod. The others feature body horror but no hydraulic press mercy kill.
  7. A. Scream (1996) – Sidney rigs the scene for Cotton Weary’s vindication via live TV. Urban Legend and similar slasher films end with direct confrontations, not media staging.
  8. C. The Sixth Sense (1999) – Dr. Malcolm Crowe fades after realising his death, with his wife’s ring confirming it. The Others has a similar twist but from the “living’s” perspective; others vary.
  9. B. Saw (2004) – Jigsaw (John Kramer) reveals himself as the corpse, recording “Game Over.” Cube and others trap victims but lack the dead-man-rise twist.
  10. D. The Mist (2007) – David’s suicide is thwarted by arriving tanks after he kills his group; bleakest Stephen King ending. 1408 and others adapt King but end with supernatural resolutions, not mist-apocalypse mercy killing.
