The plot of orphan actually happened to a family in Michigan. A family adopted a girl with dwarfism they thought was 8 but she was actually 30 something.

[@kurtistrent2034]

Yeah I remember that

[@erikasantillan941]

That was after orphan. Since orphan was on 2009, and the incident that happened from michigan was on 2010. And also orphan was inspired by Barbora Skalova's story that happened 10 years before orphan came out.

The Mist plot twist is just so depressing

[@goleon7671]

It gave me a mix of feelings, i didn't know whether to cry, laugh or throw my TV out of the window.

[@dylancastellanos87]

I've seen all the films on this list. And while they all shocked me, The Mist was the most shocking to me because, years before the film was made, I had read the short story. After leaving the store, their fate was ambiguous. They weren't shot and killed before the military showed up to save the day. They instead just continued to drive on. We never learn if they survive or not, though we do learn that David's wife died, having been killed and stuffed with spider-esque eggs. But we never learn if the mist is all over the world, or if they reach a safe haven before running out of gas. The story literally just ends with them driving off through the mist. So, to watch the film and see David kill them all, including his son, before the military showed up was not only a drastic change from the strory, but also unbelievably shocking and depressing.

[@hurricaneheli79]

The Mist is a shocking twist.

[@janellejulianajoy]

My daughter, who was rather young at the time, literally blurted out"I bet he feels stupid" Having read the original story, which didn't end this way at all, it was quite the shock.

[@rockero1313]

only good thing about that movie lolol

[@jessicaesumai9966]

yeeaaahh. I never expected that.

[@washedblue]

that was actually fantastic! I know a lot of people lost hope in the series but I enjoyed it a lot (as well as 3 which isn't terribly loved). the only thing that kind of messes with this twist is the clothing and hair/makeup styles. they don't match with the time period (2000) but could easily be done since not everyone wears trends that would fully give away the time period, as well as old trends coming back which would explain some 'retro' looks. their clothing was very common during the time the movie was made (2011). this facet is what keeps the audience unaware but could've been done better imo

[@ardaozcan9281]

[@KittyKatt_Luna80s]

If you listen closely to the main theme (You're Just What I've Been Looking For a.k.a. Angela's Theme), it subtly reveals that Angela is not who she seems. Listening to the song first time (not viewing the film) it seems like someone who is just hurt (ex-boyfriend etc.) Listening to it again, and the lines about "the pain you have to hide" take on a whole new meaning.

[@MessianicMermaid]

It's not a horror movie, but the twist in Shutter Island was absolutely fantastic.

[@badkitty4922]

YES! Heartbreaking, too.

[@Loveroffood41]

Agreed

[@AnoushkaRoy]

Yesss I was so shocked.

[@MessianicMermaid]

*SPOILER ALERT* *DO NOT READ FURTHER IF YOU HAVE NOT SEEN AND WANT TO WATCH SHUTTER ISLAND* @@badkitty4922 It really was and not just because of the deaths, but because of what it did to Leo's character. There is still a stigma surrounding those with mental health disorders (I have Obsessive Compulsive, Major Depressive, and Generalized Anxiety Disorders myself) and it makes my heart happy that someone with as much clout as Leonardo DiCaprio is bringing these issues to the forefront of people's minds and presenting them in such a light that it is easy to see both the suffering and the potential mental health patients (of non-violent diagnoses) have to be productive members of society. That said, the deaths were just as important, as they were brought on by Postpartum Depression, which is a serious mental health condition in itself.

[@rebal180]

@@homeaccount5943Care to explain why? I mean I understand that some of of the stuff in his movies doesn’t really make sense. Like how does billions of people live in those hallways? But look past the plot holes they’re pretty good. Ok yeah, we knew that the family would be strange people that was made obvious. But Rose being in on it, is kinda a twist cause she’s the only one in the family that doesn’t act like a kiss ass. Just because some people saw it coming doesn’t mean it isn’t a twist.

" I stuck one in my backpack and we didn't remember about it until a couple of weeks later. We popped it in and the most disturbing images began to play. We were horrified and shocked. One of my friends started to cry and kept saying, " Why would someone do this?! What does it mean?!" Months later, when the trailer came out, we then understood. It was a great marketing plan!

The fact that the twist from Sleepaway Camp about Angela isn't even an honorable mention proves how criminally underrated that movie is

[@str8outtacostco53]

The plot twist in Invisible Man isn't just the fact that it was revealed to be Adrian's brother the night she overpowered the suit. It is just one of several smaller twists but it's definitely not the grand twist. It is heavily implied that it was still Adrian terrorizing her up until he set his brother up to be killed thus painting himself as a helpless victim being held captive in his brothers basement. But come on guys. He literally TALKED to her multiple times. Do you actually believe she wouldn't be able distinguish her abusers voice after living in fear of it for years? That shit was engraved in her mind. I believe the twist(s) are supposed to be that Adrian had succeeded (or so he thought) in the grandest gesture of gaslighting he'd ever subjected her to. But it didn't work, because she was all too familiar with the pattern. Oh and how she wasn't attempting to get his confession on tape when she came over for dinner, she just needed to get close enough to him to kill him herself while in his suit to end the cycle and making him ACTUALLY commit "suicide"

[@derrickhaggard]

That ending was probably the best part about the film mostly how she figured out Adrian being the cunning manipulative scumbag that he was even if arrested would along with a corrupt lawyer figure out a way to get off scot free and continue to make her life a living nightmare so she decided to use the third cloaking suit and assassinate him making it look like a suicide that way she would truly be free from his reign of terror.

Even if Adrian did install voice modifiers, and she is meant to believe that it was the brother in the suit the whole time while Adrian was chained up in his basement, why would he talk to her in Adrian's voice?

[@mffanatic7318]

it was most likely Adrian, if your remember the ending, he said "surprise" as a nod back to the text she got from the invisible man, that's when she learns the truth and sneaks away to put on the suit to kill him, I think he used his brother as a pawn.

Thank you! Someone did say it!

[@avaunamallett6176]

Identity is such a great movie! I can watch it over and over and never get sick of it. It's in my top ten lists of any movie ever.

[@rpk7330]

The angel heart one is perfect for me. I read the book before watching the movie and it was so brolliantly built up that i didnt even think of the possibility and its so twisted and sad i love it

[@brianbara3204]

"The Others" takes place after WWI, not WWII.

[@jjmanzano9]

Plus, it came out 2 years after the Sixth sense. The whole “they’re dead all along” plot twist was hardly a surprise.

[@marlsberlin7716]

It's actually a modernized version of Henry James "The Turn of the Screw" published in 1898. Shyamalan's plot is a mirror reflection of the original plot of the book, and it has been subject of several movies big or small over the years.

[@corrieweiss8313]

If you look it up on IMDb, it says that the story takes place after World War II.

[@56postoffice]

*"The Skeleton Key"* is well underrated. *"April Fools' Day"* had that idea locked years before David Fincher's *"The Game."*

[@yankeegirl5175]

Great movies!!

[@jordantaper2398]

There wouldn't have been Wes Craven's "Scream" without "April Fools' Day.

[@saradeandean2060]

LOVED SKELETON KEY. !!

[@naturalista74]

I never get tired of The Skeleton Key. Us and Get Out are also two of my favorites. Angel Heart and The Sixth Sense are two of my old picks.

[@hyena0815]

Orphan is easily one of my favourite movies of all time, so hyped for Orphan2

[@thegaminghawken6778]

Man they did a disservice to sleepaway camp where Angela is actually a boy.

YES!! I was coming in with hope that it would at least be mentioned here.

[@paigeanne1325]

Dudeeee sammmeee

[@Lilo-bc9wz]

Same as well

[@ldiod4374]

It doesn’t really affect the story though.

[@ShadowSora8491]

@@ldiod4374 Except that it explained why Angela was unhinged. Imagine if your sister died in a horrific accident and your aunt forced you to live as her, just because she "always wanted a little girl," and she "already has a son?"

[@blackdopes]

Orphan had the best plot twist & underrated actors who did an extremely amazing job playing the characters precisely but the movie was also underrated. I also think Psycho had a good plot twist as well.. 🔪🩸

[@Chanti0666]

Great list!!!

[@taylorcarnes5842]

WAIT what about Dead Silence mary shaw was that one dudes mom and she played the dad like a puppet. That was pretty deep.🐞🐾

[@octaviogmenez2839]

The Others is such an underrated movie, I feel that nobody mentions it when talking about horror movies. Watched it with my school when I was 13 and nobody could believed what happened with the servant

[@viktormelisik2649]

Me jaw dropped when Oi saw that twist. It was very good movie

[@yankeegirl5175]

We instantly looked at each other at the end & said "We gotta watch that again!"

I love "The Others". The story line, the acting, the costumes. Nicole Kidman was so believable. Very underrated movie.

Leo B fair enough man you’re entitled to your opinion I’m not trying to argue with you. I agree it’s not up there for best horror film ever like some people seem to think but I still thought it was a really well made film and was really effective in making me feel uncomfortable

[@SleepingIsASport]

Fergus Crockett it’s ok man always remember critics and assholes are the same so it’s a waste of time to argue.

Orphan is and will always be one of my most favourite movies. I've watched it more times than I can count.

7:05, US' twist was insane. LOVED that movie, Jordan Peele is a directing genius

[@danielcm4237]

The Skeleton Key should be waaay up in the list

[@lizanna6390]

That was a great twist. Creepy when you realise how long these spirits have been jumping bodies for at least a century.

[@gondaleo]

I feel like “get out “ is getting all the hype when it’s basically copying the premise. Just changing the villains from black people to white people. Not really original.

[@andreweggleston4410]

I love a good twist at the end of any movie like the Saw franchise and the kid's show from the 90s Goosebumps had the best twist in the end of each episode.

[@HrglassHealer]

Impressive list! I’m a horror fan of 30+ years & have seen everything on this list!

[@FrankRHa1]

Jacob's Ladder, when Tim Robbins character found out he actually died from a gunshot on his first tour of Name. And never made it home.

[@jasmineangie4652]

It’s a great movie! He was battling a lot of demons but I think it had a happy ending. Finally at peace

[@davidwylie9261]

Still a great twist, though

[@outpost31mac]

It wasn't a gunshot wound, he was bayoneted in the guts. That's what killed him.

[@OrangeBlue-ir5rf]

Can't disagree with #1. However, in terms of individual scenes, the plot twist reveal scene in Saw has to be the most epic.

[@Terahnee]

Especially with that music behind it... amazing. For both Psycho and Saw, lol.

[@cvbrxa5478]

the Us plot twist should be top 5, because that’s a twist if I’ve ever seen one.

[@rindoubaka1574]

The Us Plot Twist is both generic and messy.

[@jfec2011]

The kids' grandparents in The Visit is a great twist. The Others and the Sixth Sense too.

[@al_chem_i_cal]

I am disturbed by the amount of times Peter Sarsgaard was on here

[@laustcawz2089]

One of the best actors of our time.

[@BurnzyNUFC]

Orphan is a seriously good horror film. The writing, story, twists, deaths are solid and the acting is top class even from the kids. Infact Isabelle Fuhrman as Esther is possibly the best performace i've ever seen from a child actor and worthy of an Oscar.

[@brittanypatchett8303]

The reaping isn't talked about enough! Such a good movie! Glad the descent got a shout out 😆

The mist has not only a great shocking end, also a great T.J. performance. His desperation is stunning.
