Him Movie Ending Twist Explained: The Truth About Cam’s Fate
Him turns the chase for gridiron glory into a nightmare as rookie Cam falls under legend Isaiah’s spell and discovers the brutal cost of ambition. A violent final twist shatters their bond and rewrites both futures—here’s what Isaiah was really after and the choice that seals Cam’s fate.
Him starts like a straight-up sports grind story, then swerves into full-on occult nightmare. If the last stretch left you blinking at the screen, here’s the ending in plain English, no fluff.
The final showdown: GOAT by blood
In the climax, Isaiah isn’t just mentoring Cam anymore — he’s gatekeeping the title of the GOAT the most literal way possible. He forces Cam into a fight to the death to decide who owns that crown. Cam wins. Isaiah dies with a smile, satisfied he’s passed the torch exactly how he wanted: through violence and certainty.
The field, the contract, the trap
After the fight, Cam heads to a football field and gets greeted by the machine waiting to cash in: the San Antonio Saviors’ owners, his agent Tom, and Isaiah’s wife Elsie. The pitch is immediate — sign a contract, lock in the future, become the next GOAT.
That’s when the movie rips the mask off. The owners — rich, all-white, and very comfortable with the optics — surround Cam with demonic imagery. It isn’t subtle. They don’t see him as a person; he’s a product, the latest harvest from the same system that squeezed greatness (and everything else) out of Isaiah. It ties back to two key threads: Isaiah literally transfusing his blood into Cam earlier, a ritualistic handoff of greatness, and the reveal that Cam’s father cut a deal with this same cabal years ago to set his son on this path. None of this is an accident; it’s a pipeline.
Who lives, who dies
Isaiah is gone — Cam kills him in the duel. Cam survives, but the expectation is he’ll fold into the owners’ program like Isaiah did. Instead, he says absolutely not and detonates the plan. He fights back, kills the trainer, and then kills the team owners. It’s not graceful, but that’s the point: he chooses himself over the contract, the legacy machine, and the demonic goat-worship vibes.
What the ending is really doing
Isaiah’s motive is legacy at any cost. He engineers a death match to keep the GOAT mantle on his terms, and he dies content because the line continues. Cam’s choice is to break the chain. He refuses to be the next puppet, even if it means carving his way out. In doing so, the film crowns him the true GOAT — not because he signed the right deal or bled the right blood, but because he walks away from a system that turns greatness into ownership.
Weird? Yeah. Inside baseball? Definitely. The GOAT throne here isn’t a trophy — it’s a sacrificial altar. Cam flips it, and that’s the movie’s mic drop.
