Top 10 Worst Movie Plot Twists

[@foxford7135]

The whole point of the village’s twist is that the elders were afraid of passion, which red is the embodiment of. They just had an elaborate plan to try to create their own perfect world because they were scared of what the real one had to offer. I think it was a genius take on a parent’s worst fear.

[@ecszst.croixe3573]

Yeah, they're not that bad, just average twists. Go watch 'The Prestige'. Definitely a lot better than Now You See Me with the same topic/subject but with a HIGH TIER plot twist. The Village was pretty good though.

[@thesprawl2361]

@@ecszst.croixe3573 The Now You See Me movies are quite literally the most ridiculous films I've ever seen. The Prestige is excellent though, with a clever sub-twist that hinges on quantum suicide and a whole bunch of out-there metaphysical premises. The main twist is a bit daft, but the film as a whole is pretty riveting.

[@thesprawl2361]

Now You See Me is a hilarious franchise. I watched both of them with my jaw open, asking myself how something so ridiculous ever got made. They really are two of the dumbest films ever made. And they did give reasons. I thought the Iron Man 3 twist was quite clever though. I don't give a shit about comics so I wasn't outraged like some fanboys were - I just thought it was funny. Besides, the main reason they did that twist is because the real Mandarin is this racist Chinese caricature from the sixties. They couldn't include him as he is in the comic books, there'd have been uproar..

I loved the ending to the Village, everyone gives that movie shit bc they didn't get to see a scary monster get killed, I wasn't able to predict a movie ending for once, I like that.

[@LordHypnos4]

Megan Talley Unpredictable is only good when there is a logical connection between the build up and the twist. The twist had absolutely nothing to do with what transpired in the movie at all, the only connection was a monster that would have been far more interesting had it turned out to be real. It was just flat out ridiculous, and at that point in Shyamalan's career it is par for the course that his movies would have a twist. I expected the unexpected when I saw that movie in theaters and it completely disappointed me that there was no actual threat in the woods. And in 40-50 years of living in seclusion I'm supposed to believe there were no outside influences coming in from the outside? No one decided to look into this wildlife preserve or maintain it in decades? Come on it doesn't make any sense. Lol if you couldn't tell I really didn't like this movie

[@meganwright9763]

Matt Schilling I disagree. The 'threat' was humanity. How close-minded, isolated,intolerant, and illogical people can become if put in the right situation. The power of leaders to delude a group of people is very real. I understand that if you were anticipating a horror movie with a climax that fit in the horror genre, you were rightly disappointed. But once I looked at the movie as a take on human nature, I loved it.

[@grewebear]

Agreed! The village was a great film! I even loved Lady in the Water. His movies don't deserve the heat they get

[@DanStaal]

Part of the problem for The Village is that it was the movie that made M. Knight's reputation for plot twists. He'd done movies before, and there were twists, but people didn't really realize it was a pattern until then. Secondly, the twist itself is stupid - the rest of the movie may be fine and good, but it'd be better *without* the twist, or at least a different twist.

4. The Village. Woah-woah-woah. I actually thought that was a pretty good twist. Elders dressing up as monsters = Scooby Doo? Nah. I think that is way oversimplification. There was a reason as to why they were doing that, to keep people from leaving the settlement. A story to make them understand why they had to stay there. The story went that the monsters felt that they owned the woods, and so a treaty was formed: "you guys stay in your clearing, the tree line is the border, don't cross it and we'll be good." The elders fabricated the whole thing to keep everyone safe, indirectly, from the dystopian, crime-infested outside world. Too harsh Mojo, too harsh, says I.

scifiNotSyfyFan +1 The twist in The Village is a metaphoric one not literal. I think a lot of people miss the whole point of it.

[@michaelw3715]

GasCityGuy Please explain. Seemed pretty literal to me.

[@LightWthoutTheStatic]

Michael Woods Like GasCityGuy said "I think a lot of people miss the whole point of it". That's you missing it. The monsters were 'people in suits' all along. The audience doesn't know what they are. The twist isn't that 'it's people in suits' (but that is a surprising thing in a way, to some). The twist is 'whether or not the monster is real'. Metaphorically, the monster is still very real, but it's in her mind. It's not a real monster, but it's terrifying her just as much as a real one would. Ivy KNEW they weren't real because now that's what she's been told, but she's blind and her experience is still terrifying her. It might have been worse if she could have seen the creature. I think people who like the movie are more interested in how Ivy deals with the fear and the question of whether or not the monster is real. That's the real twist (not the fact of the matter, but how the metaphor plays out).

[@michaelw3715]

I guess it comes down to how you interpret the movie and what you think the plot twist is. I don't think the plot twist had anything to do with whether or not the monsters were real but that the movie takes place in present time when we as the audience assume that this took place in the past. How is this not completely obvious to you? Don't read too much into things.

[@mingusboodle]

scifiNotSyfyFan I don't even think of 'The Village' as a plot twist. The big point of 'The Village' is that the girl grew up believing in monsters, and can't shake that belief even when she's given proof that they're fake. Like "Signs," it's a movie about faith, not about monsters. Unfortunately, it was marketed as a monster movie, directed by the guy who brought you Sixth Sense... Good movie ruined by bad expectations.

The original story it made perfect sense considering it was written in the 19th century. Cars weren't even around then. So the ide that the best weapon earth had against a powerful alien race was microbes was amazing. Fast forward 100 years and we know so much more, and we aren't even making colonies on moon! A race that advanced as we see in the later remake would have had multiple constant updates on data collected over1000s of years. Data analysing atmospheric changes, pollution from the technological inhabitants, and studies on flora and fauna. Even if a small landing party was to conduct an investigation prior to the main attack, the martians would have become ick and the bodies examined in quarantine. So the concept was great in the original setting, illogical in the 21st century.

I think Remember Me’s twist was incredible. A lot of people rag on it, but from the perspective of someone who has no memory of the events of 9/11, I think it was really a well handled surprising twist that puts you in the shoes of everyone who felt that heartbreak. I was too young to remember it, and didn’t know anyone who died in it, but for a brief minute after that movie I could feel the pain of characters I came to know experiencing that day in real time. I pay my respect and shed tears for everyone who died, but learning more about an individual really sticks with you and makes it all the more real. Even if it is fiction. Idk, I don’t think it was some cop out to end a romantic movie, I think it is exactly what it set out to be.

I feel like that ending was more effective at striking an emotional chord with audiences than, say, him getting hit by a car or killed in an attempted mugging gone wrong.

The twist in Signs is actually genius if you look at it from a religiously thematic point of view. Im not religious, but the movie has a lot of religious symbolism. Mel Gibson's character is a fallen pastor, and the aliens represent demons. Everyone fears them and they are hardly ever seen. The daughter represents and angel and is even described as looking like one in the film. The water represents holy water, and when splashed upon the aliens it burns them. After the demons are destroyed, (fighting your inner demons if you will) he regains his faith and becomes a pastor again. Im not religious, but this is definitely a film with deeper interesting meaning.

[@realafah]

I agree with most of these, but I do disagree with the movie 'Signs'. It wasn't a surprise that their weakness was water because it was said earlier when the Father went to visit the guy who accidentally killed his wife. He told him that the aliens were afraid of water and that people were moving to lakes and oceans to be safe, the Father also brought it up to his family later to help decide whether to stay or go. I know that aliens are suppose to have superior intellect, but their knowledge can only go as far as their planet's and the other planets they have invaded. Their planet most likely doesn't even have water which is why they never thought of the fact it could hurt them. It's like in the movie 'Independence Day', people were mad that the aliens were superior in every way, but were taken down by a simple little virus, but their planet most likely never encountered a virus so they didn't know what to do about it nor did they have time to do anything because they didn't notice it until the last few minutes they were alive. I mean, when we were first introduced to viruses we didn't know what to do either at first. Anyway, that's just my opinion.

[@hawkhollywood2127]

realafah Rea! Dude, you're my favorite KZbinr! :D

[@Xylarxcode]

realafah When it comes to Signs, the way I think about is like this. The alien invaders are either political refugees or the last survivors of their race. Whichever they are, they can no longer go to their own homeplanet. So they wander the galaxy, in search of a new planet they can inhabit. Resources are running scarce and they're slowly dying in their spaceships when lo and behold, they stumble upon Earth, a planet that looks like it could support them. Because of the urgency of their plight, they don't have time to properly investigate the planet, so they quickly jot down a few navigational markers (the crop signs) and come down to Earth to check things out. The first thing they quickly realize is that this planet is already inhabited by us. The second thing they realize is that this planet is covered in a material that is deadly to them, namely water. Although they are more then a match for any single human in a 1 on 1 confrontation, they are vastly outnumbered and any human can get a hold of some water. That stuff is literally everywhere. There are days when it won't stop falling out of the sky. They can't stay on our planet because we would kill them if they did. So they have no choice but to pack up and leave.

[@Saikanix]

This is the most ridiculous reasoning I've ever heard. It is both surprising and nonsensical that their weakness was water because there is literally water in the atmosphere, if they're weak to water, they would be burning to death just by standing around. And this is with humoring the idea that an advanced species would be weak to something like water, something that every biological life requires.

[@QBFOJustin]

Nathan Mabie only problem with this is that, yes, every biological thing requires water, but, what if these aliens were the exception? What if one had been captured and examined and it indeed is factual that they don't require water? As far as they being unable to stand in the atmosphere, what if it's the concentration level of that water that harms them? Not so much that they're bothered by minor levels but a full on hit from water, like the glass falling on them, was too strong. Like, I could be dying of thirst, but I can't just open my mouth and satisfy myself by the minuscule water vapors in the air. I think there is a way to reason it out if one is willing to do so, but if one is too close minded to a fiction movie to allow themselves to understand things, then, I guess it won't be understood.

[@janacebickerstaff8603]

Okay, what made you assume that Mark Ruffalo's character had acted like an idiot his whole FBI career? I mean, he's the one smart enough to find these horsemen and bring them together while also harboring a plot for revenge, and he actually gets the guy who was responsible for his father's death right? So I would think that the entire time the Horsemen are involved he simply acts ignorant so they (and the audience) simply won't suspect him as more than what he's acting like - an FBI agent. He's probably pretty intelligent, and had no problem with work beforehand, which only builds on the idea that he wants to catch these guys so badly because he doesn't fail, which in turn helps cement his persona, which makes the twist all the more surprising. I honestly didn't think the concept was hard to grasp, it's not supposed to be. It's the art of misdirection, applied to the audience for the entire movie. So it actually seems like a great twist to me, but some people don't think critically about such things And shut up you uncultured hipster swine, M.

Also, while I've only seen bits and pieces of the Twilight movies (I've yet to sit through an entire one) I Have caught the end ending of the final film and I thought it was a pretty good way to inject some... SOMETHING into the movie without drastically changing the ending. You said it yourself, "...the coolest scene in the franchise." Would the movie have been better off without it? How can something that arguably makes a movie better be considered a bad thing?

[@sm74a]

Crazy. What, you demanded we call you it?

[@DodgeThisBam]

DeepFryedSlurm Can't argue with that logic.

[@psteverific]

I liked the Village too... but mostly because I wanted to see about 45 minutes more. I didn't want her to just get picked up by a car, I wanted to see her hiding from cars, exploring this weird, alien world she had stumbled into, and finding out about the modern world.

[@MelMelodyWerner]

The coolest scene in the franchise was still terrible. The action was bad, the effects were bad, the musical score was bad, the acting (the little that was in it) was bad, the story leading up to it was bad, the... you get the memo. I'd rather not have the franchise to begin with.

[@DodgeThisBam]

Steven Grant Hey, I'm no fan of the franchise myself but it's all relative. Point still stands.

[@rushdi34]

Now you see me was surprisingly good...I didn't mind the twist at the end.

[@hinaseda2093]

that was my favorite plot twist actually. It was so exciting and jaw dropping, not bad at all.

[@rushdi34]

[@thomasmacdonald8735]

I was about to say the same thing.

[@linojaarakavan2390]

Ikr I liked the movie

[@elsjeblom7751]

Same. When I saw "Now you see me" on this list, I felt like "What?" and kind of disappointed since it's one of my favourite movies

[@lesliebrown5721]

Your honorable mentions included war of the worlds a classic piece of literature written by H.G. Wells one of the greatest sci fi writters of all time. The end monolog in the movie is taken directly from the book and is an incredible end to one of the very first books to ever include aliens. Also although the village was not the best movie, i will say that it is based on a pretty good book.

[@mavrickindigo]

why is War of the Worlds in there? it's the same ending as the original book!

[@stevethemastersword]

that doesn't change the fact that its almost as stupid as the ending of signs, why would a super advanced alien race not think about their total lack of immunity to our diseases?

[@mavrickindigo]

I believe the reason was that they didn't have micro-organisms on mars. It's an ending that is only dumb now because science is different than it used to be.

[@stevethemastersword]

Mavrickindigo i refuse to believe that an advanced alien race could develop without other creatures developing along side it, those creatures would include disease causing micro-organisms

[@mavrickindigo]

you got to remember when HP lovecraft was writing, Plate Techtonics was a new thing, and HG wells was way before that.

[@stevethemastersword]

Mavrickindigo i dont understand your point, did HG wells write it before logic was invented?

[@MARKOoo]

The people who think Signs is supposed to be a scary alien horror movie...

[@theblueishballs6324]

People being disappointed by The Village plot twist missed the point of the movie. The erroneous marketing was the culprit. It isn't a horror or thriller movie. It's actually a fable and a love story. The suspense is there to support the fairytale like quality of the film (after all the original fairy tales were dark and twisted) and highlight how difficult it must be for Ivy to cross the forest, even if she logically now knows the monsters aren't real - showing the depths of her love for Lucius. Brilliant cinematography and score.

[@crystalmarie2448]

I have always said that the Village's problem was marketing. If you expected the movie you got in the trailer, of course you were upset at the movie you actually bought tickets for

[@brucethedruid]

A good argument for ignoring trailers.

[@chiyo-chanholocaust8143]

My real problem with the village is the timing of the twist, it's revealed way way too fucking soon. Before the final confrontation with the "monster" they reveal it's just costumes thus completely murdering the enormous tension the scene could have had, because yes, those monster were super scary when you didn't know wtf they were. Makes no sense, why would the movie spoil it's own climax like that

[@TheYaddayadda]

"Love Conquers All" is the message we are to experience by Ivy's story, and I used to think it was the deepest message of the movie. But now I think that Edward's story is really the heart of hearts. I think the deepest message here is this: The Elders thought they could remove evil from their lives by removing themselves from the world. But evil followed them. Because the only true monsters, the only real evil, is within us all. The evil which lives within all of us, right along side the good.

[@brucethedruid]

@@chiyo-chanholocaust8143 because that's not the ultimate climax or reveal. This story has a series of climaxes. Think of a camera focusing on one small part of a picture. Slowly the camera zooms out, revealing more and more details of the picture. There would be a series of "aha" moments.

[@nickoletteturner9608]

[@98765432134162]

[@AnyoneCanSee]

Sir Ben Kingsley as the fake terrorist was absolutely brilliant, and he played it superbly. And super hero movies shouldn't take themselves so seriously. It's tiresome when everyone is being so serious, like it's some great melodrama. I also think the twist that bacteria wipes out the invading aliens a great plot twist. And it is worth noting that this plot twist is as the original novel, so it dates back to H. G. Wells in 1897.

[@chrisrudolf9839]

Couldn't agree more, they are insulting a real classic by putting that one on the list. In contrast to the dumb and biologically inexplicably strong weakness of the "signs"-Aliens to water the weakness to bacteria from a totally different ecosystem your own immune system has never encountered before is very realistic. It has happened in history with quite a few native American tribes upon first contact with European germs brought by the white man.

[@EmpiresDawn]

Totally agree, it was awesome and hilarious. I think it got the most hate from comic book geeks who felt their holy source material got twisted around. Cause The Mandarin is an iconic figure that can't be messed with, right? *roll eyes*

[@isaiahhaddox]

EmpiresDawn I love the comic books but I think that was the funniest twist ever

[@tekobari]

+Chris Rudolf IKR? Those aliens are intelligent enough to travel light years to this armpit of the galaxy, using whatever advanced physics and metallurgy they had to develop. Yet they choose to land on a planet that's three-quarters water. That's as stupid an ending as I've ever seen. But Kingsley was a scream! I couldn't stop laughing.

[@myrest3334]

Robert J. Williamson Wow, I disagree so much with your comment.

[@Raytessa100]

"King of the bad movie twists". What?? Umm, The Sixth Sense, Unbreakable, Signs, The Visit. All great twists. The guy is awesome and a lot of his movies are so underrated because everyone expects the Sixth Sense shocking twist

[@ecliptorcalrissian5014]

The Sixth Sense was a lucky fluke, and he tried to recapture the thunder by giving everything a twist ending, as if that's all there was to it. So, cue an endless string of terrible movies with an obligatory twist. Signs was the worst to me; *before* the twist, you have people boringly walking around while no actual plot is happening. Hours of pretty much nothing. THEN we find out that the DUMBEST alien invaders had thought to attack a planet that's 70% Kryptonite to them, where what MELTS THEM LIKE ACID FALLS FROM THE SKY. Signs was when I gave up on him. Reactions to his later work say I was right to.

[@shutupdodo3686]

[@WillieManga]

While I don't need The Village to tell me how bad cults are and how they limit one's worldview, I do like it because it kinda simulates how cults see the world when they don't know anything else about it.

[@DadoPanda]

Awww the fact that monsters in the Village aren't real got people disappointed? I mean seriously, the Village is so brilliant, you really have to be shallow not to see that. It's a movie where a very present truth is masked by a supernatural element. A forced tradition and idealism. Fear used as a weapon. A sudden realization that the world outside our safe zone is different from what we believed, due to the simple fact that we never gave it a chance and remained so blind and ignorant, that even monsters in red robes can fool us.

[@laurabryson7809]

DadoPanda it is incredible

[@commraiders5]

This is a clickbait list mostly. You can't use genuinely terrible movies nobody knows so they just found out which movies had divided opinions and listed them.

[@Magicboogaloo]

Ok, War of the Worlds is quite scientifically accurate. A living race who have not been exposed to a certain strain of bacteria/virus so it is deadly to them happens! Or have you forgotten about how the native American population was drastically reduced due to the European settlers accidentally introducing them to new pathogens? (See also the downfall of the Mayans)

[@greyscaleanatomy3529]

That's assuming our bacteria would be compatible at all. If they were silicon based life forms (The most likely option if Carbon wasn't just so darn abundant and amazing) then they would essentially be artificial as far as Earth's drugs and bacteria are concerned.

[@steveswangler6373]

magic boogaloo I wouldn't say the European settlers "accidentally" introduced the bacteria. inadvertently would be a better word. accidentally implies they knew about what spread disease, they didn't. they believed it was god's will

[@Wolfrunner326]

It was the end of the original book! The Martians didn't have any pathogens on Mars so they didn't have much of an immune system, if any at all, so when faced with pathogens of our planet, they had nothing to fight them off. I don't see why people are complaining about this ending now when they've had over a century to complain about it!

[@morganlambley8655]

In the original radio broadcast it was germs that killed the “Martians” too.

[@timemonkey]

Signs isn't a bad movie, it's just the water thing makes very little sense. Hell, they could have kept the water twist and solved the problem by having the aliens wear protective suits,a suit that gets wrecked when the alien gets smacked around with the baseballbat at the end.

[@remychase]

I liked the twist at the end of Now You See Me. It was like one giant magic trick with the best misdirect in history. Also, while a bit disappointed at the Mandarin twist in Iron Man 3, I enjoyed Sir Ben as Trevor Slattery. He was fun. That being said, I fully believe that Marvel owes us a proper Mandarin.

[@percyross7612]

I didn't like Now You See Me ending because it made no damn sense in terms of character drives. Nothing the Inspector did made any sense in the context that he was the puppetmaster behind it all. It was way too big a leap for my suspension of disbelief for him to act the way he did in the movie and that's what ruined it for me. Also they sorta hinted that *maybe* there was more *magic* going on than just smoke and mirrors. Except, they never explained anything. You just have to accept that *somehow* they accomplished impossible feats because "wow cool magic effect".... Just.... There is only so much suspension of disbelief that a movie can expect of it's audience.

[@matth1831]

They literally explain EVERYTHING. Did you fall asleep during the film? There are entire retread scenes showing exactly how they did each trick and they are all in explicit detail.

[@percyross7612]

Matt H Well first of all, hypnotism doesn't work like that. Second wtf is with the bubble?? Also they subliminally coerced that guy to go to that one place?? Like... there's so much in this movie that has no basis in reality and they'll have you believe that they are and I'm just like "uh no". I'd list more examples as I'm sure there are more but sadly I've avoided this movie since it's debuted so it's been a while for my brain to remember so many details of a movie I hated. And anyways, my biggest pet peeve was just how the inspector behaves through the entire movie. ZERO sense.

[@heamees4822]
