The main character kills his family, then himself. The gritty tone and the ending music make it even more depressing.

Bloody sequences in Vietnam flashbacks (shredded corpses, shootings). The final scene has particularly bloody gun violence, and the main character puts his dead baby into a heating oven.

The protagonist, a father himself, shoots his wife to death, his baby, and kills himself.
There's also a scene where he's announced by his father that he'll die soon from cancer.
