What is the bleakest ending to a movie you've ever seen?

None of these are recent but obviously spoilers for the endings of these movies.

I just rewatched Eden Lake, having forgotten how bleak the ending is. She's hunted relentlessly and has to watch the brutal torture and murder of her boyfriend, and an innocent child, then she kills one of them in self defence and escapes but the people who save her... Well they turn out to be the family of the one she killed. Seeing her dragged back into the bathroom, not knowing what they'll do to her exactly... it's haunting.

Other ones that come to mind are A Serbian Film and The Descent (the original ending, where after escaping the tunnel she wakes up and realises she hallucinated or dreamt it and is actually still trapped with no hope).

Just knowing that the protagonists went through all the hell of the movie to not even get a happy ending... it's so sad.

Oh, this is a difficult question! There are a lot of gloomy endings in movies, and each of them weighs on the soul in its own way
