The Boy in the Striped Pajamas takes a harrowing turn as young Bruno and his friend Shmuel unknowingly face a tragic fate, locked inside a gas chamber, their innocence and friendship extinguished in the depths of unimaginable darkness. Worst Movie ending ever! Why would they kill two innocent boys? Even worse, his dad killed BOTH! Like Powerfulgirl10's review, the music is so creepy, and to add insult to injury, the movie was cut when the outside of the gas chamber. So that means no funeral for the boys!
Ugh. I hate that ending. The music is creepy, and there are too many deaths. That's why it's so sad.

An unsettling ending to an unsettling yet great movie.
