Do you have examples of movies that have a huge spike in stakes almost at the end?

Examples: Se7en, Rogue One

Please use spoilers if you want to explain why

I would say, the Invitation. It's quite slow, a bit bizarre in its set-up, and took me years to watch it after checking it out once and thinking "This is the movie people are excited about?"

But hang in there for the last 25-30 mins, and it really pays off. I think about it all the time now.
