Did The Empty man get mentioned yet?
Hide and Seek too the draw says all, The Skeleton Key, The Others, Friday the 13th 1980 never expected who was really the killer 😮, Krampus that movie didn't have a happy ending.
Not sure if you guys do recommendations, but the top 20 most horrifying moments in Blood and Honey, PLEASE DON'T SEND IT TO ME THOUGH, THAT FILM TRAUMATIZED ME AND I HAVEN'T EVEN SEEN ANY CLIPS
Final Destination movies definitely left a mark on some of us millenials that grew up with these movies. No joke, I still don't drive behind open trucks full of logs or large items to this day because of Final Destination 5.
Lmao same. I always change lanes asap
Justin Long's reaction/facial expressions at the end of Drag Me To Hell still moves me! So amazing😲
Ik, i never understood why he fizzled out. I loved his movies before they got kinda lame in the early 2010s. Live free or die hard, drag me to hell, jeepers creepers, waiting, dodge ball, ect. He was such a good actor but just nvr took off like I believe he shouldve. Not sure if it was his movie choices bc, like I said, his movies since the early 2010s were just not that great but Im sure thats more of his management team. I havnt heard anything about him being hard to work with or being a jerk in general tho? His movie Barbarian was so good! I loved the movie in general tho. I hope he gets more roles like that. I think the horror genre is better suited for him.
I think Sinster is has one of the best and it's kind of a double twist. Spoilers if you haven't seen it
The first being that moving out of the house is what triggers the death. The second is that all the deaths were caused by the missing kids.
Good twist in ‘the boy’ but then they made a sequel where the doll was possessed so it totally shat all over the twist. I never thought howard being right was a twist at all in 10 cloverfield lane, because of the first film. But it was a slight twist he killed his daughter?
The twist in 10 cloverfield lane is that originally there wasn't supposed to be any twist, and it was supposed to be an original horror movie. The connection to cloverfield and aliens being real was a last minute shoehorn addition mandated by the studio.
"Jacob's Ladder" was the first movie that I could not wrap my head around. That was 9 years before "The Sixth Sense" and plot twists hadn't become a real trope yet, at least not in my movie viewings. It really boggled my mind at the time.
Actually WatchMojo, it was never confirmed that the events of American Psycho were imagined by Patrick Bateman. That’s but one of several theories to that ambiguous ending.
And the ‘It’s all in Patrick’s head’ theory has a few fuzzy holes in certain scenes.
Personally I believe that Patrick did kill Paul Allen and many others, but after watching I saw that almost everyone in Patrick’s workplace confuse each other constantly and get everyone’s name wrong. And because all the guys in movie’s 90’s work place looked basically identical, Patrick gets away with it because he’s rich and unremarkable amongst his peers. You can hear about it on the movie’s Kill Count by Dead Meat.
rich n white*
According to the book he does kill Paul Allen and the realtor knows. That’s just how terrible the rich are. They just want to make money and flip the apartment.
@@alexv3470 Every heard of OJ Simpson ?
I vaguely recall hearing something about how the author has stated that he did do it and the movie ending was not supposed to be ambiguous.
There are 2 killers. Scream 1. It's not who the killers where that shocked me but the revelation billy and stu were both ghostface made me go crazy in shock 😂
Yeah I remember watching Scream 1 for the first time. I knew it was the bf and he had help but Stu? I watched Scooby Doo before Scream 1 (I was a kid give me a break lol) and was so shocked that Shaggy would be capable of such things! lol
I watched 10 Clover field Lane for the first time a couple of weeks ago with my mom. I thought Howard was right. I didn’t think it would take her that long to get out without there actually being aliens. I thought it would be too easy if there weren’t actually monsters.
I was thinking "What happened to the Giant Monster?"
I knew the alien part had to be real since it was the squeal to Cloverfield. I was actually surprised that Howards character turned out to be a weirdo after all tho. That was the plot twist to me. I guess bc John Goodman is such a loveable teddy bear kinda guy it was a surprise at first. After watching it a second time I realized the red flags he was giving off. It was a nicely done movie and great casting imo.
@@maeday6 I agree
I rewatched it with friends who didn't know anything about it and after the ending they were SO mad at me for picking that movie. At first they were super invested with the psychological horror but when the aliens appeared they flipped out lmao
I adored the Witch, Anya Taylor Joy delivered a fantastic debut performance which catapulted her to superstardom!
That movie was boring and horrendous.
@@piffothegodtv5589i see you have a bad taste in movies
I thought the same thing at first,@@piffothegodtv5589
But I watched it a couple more times, WITH closed captioning and a brighter monitor: It honestly made all the difference.
@@piffothegodtv5589I'm willing to bet that the only people that find that movie good or scary are parents. How else could you be scared of twins screaming throwing a temper tantrum on the ground while spewing up geberish scary.
I saw the witch when it came out and I didn’t get it , I was prob about 24 just watched twice recently now 31 it’s a masterpiece and love that it has an actual ending like we get a answer it was artful and couldn’t been one of so many films with a non ending. The only thing I didn’t like was the figure who walks behind her , I wish they would have just held can in her and had her talk to the disembodied voice of Philip
Fallen 1998 was a really great movie the ending was good the final destination 5 made the series come full circle which was awesome
Nope has one. Instead of that ufo being manned by aliens, the ufo *is* the alien.
That is actually fucking terrifying
One of my favourite twists in in the Thai horror incantation
In the end saying or even thinking the chant shown throughout the movie is you accepting the burden of handing your name to the demonic force and the whole reason main protagonist Li Ronan asks the viewers to keep it in mind is because it meant they would accept the curse and dilute it enough so that her daughter would be safe from the demons attacks
I almost turned Incantation off b/c of the scene midway where the chant is written out & repeated for *several* minutes. I was home alone, in the dark & way too freaked out.
I'm reasonably certain that American Psycho's 'commentary on yuppie culture' was because most of the events of the movie (barring that ATM scene) actually DID happen. It's just that everyone was willing to do whatever it took -- from something as small as lying about seeing Paul Allen recently to something as enormous as discreetly getting rid of a corpse so you could show an apartment -- to maintain the status quo. THAT is the commentary: that people would rather live in concerted denial to keep things smooth and comfortable, not that 'it was all in his head the whole time'.
That's how I took it, too. People's identities were so muddled, even to each other, that Patrick got away with the crimes. The lawyer didn't think it was Patrick that left the message, or that it was a joke. He didn't have lunch with Paul Allen the other day, probably just someone with the same haircut.
I agree. It is obvious Bateman is unreliable but he’s killed some people and bragged about it and didn’t get caught.
For me, Eli had the best twist. It literally changed genre during the twist.
But Book of Eli isn’t a horror movie.
@@adityaparikh8237 I said Eli not Book of Eli.
Omg yesss
@@fennekindol2503 my bad
You mean it's not? haha@@adityaparikh8237
Life is so underrated. The woman drowning in her own suit has stuck with me since.
I'm surprised anyone watched The Witch and didn't know Black Philip was the devil. That's basic history of the witch hunts. Not surprised they used it in a horror movie.
Saw I ending should have been on this list.
Patrick Bateman may not have killed all of the people that die in the film but he definitely tortures at least one women (prostitute) and kills the dog/homeless man. Paul Allen for me is also up in the air as to if he is really dead.
To concluded it is all in his head is a leap to far for me.
Correction about psycho. It never intend that everything to be in patrick head.
The whole point of the movie is that how everybody so self absorb about themsleves that they dont even noticed murder broad day light.
As a result the movie end leaving it for open interpretation if it is real or it didnt happened but it doesnt matter because the point is everybody is so self absorb that these murder might as well didnt happened.
It is a little difficult to find, but the movie The Other (the book is even better, by Thomas Tryon who also wrote The Dark Secret of Harvest Home: Another masterpiece) - it has a twist as well. Came out in 1971, the boys in the movie are from my husband's hometown...ironically enough, it was my first book report, haha.
Give them a look if you have time, if you like this sort of twisty thing.
Hereditary and Midsommar both have wild twists, IMO.

The others with nicole kidman had a really cool twist 😮
And of course The Sixth Sense
Love this list...thanks for sharing 🤩🍿🎥✨😊
What about SAW the first one? Kramer was the whole time alive in this room.
Kill List is excellent! I had to watch it several times to really get it, as it turns out, the copy I have is missing half the sound (?) I finally got to watch it streaming w/captions. VERY worth it. Eerie and cruel, I think.
Jacob's Ladder is a phenomenal movie.
Patrick Bateman may have not killed all those people
But I'm sure he killed that homeless man and his dog
Because unlike the other kills, the first ones we saw weren't funny or over-the-top, they were brutal and traumatizing
Wheather he killed all of that people or none of them, even not the homeless man, so I'm greatful, that he did not, because it was a horribly ugly scene, chilling me to the bones and devastating.
Patrick Bateman was a Murderer, the mystery to the movie is who did he kill and who did he fantasize about killing? The Directors said it themselves they hate the trope of 'It was all in the characters head' so they made sure to blur the lines towards the end to throw you off.
i thought the movie was saying white men could get away w anything.
Orphan.....turns out Esther is not a child but a grown woman
Yeah that film was so well done definitely didn’t see that twist
Australian film 'Lake Mungo' has at least four plot twists
Great to see Fallen 😅 It really is a good film.
I don't think it was a fever dream in Jacob's case. I think he was literally in a purgatory between heaven and hell, with the latter threatening to strip everything away from him and good forces trying to help him overcome his guilt and issues around his dead son, and make it to heaven.
goodnight mommy is interesting there's an interview with susanne wuest (the mommy) where she's on a video call with the creators and she's like can i read the script? and they're like we don't have one we'll just tell you lol
she said she was on a call with *
it wasn't all in his head in american psycho. he did do some of the crimes, but not all.
Actually, the biggest reveal in *_Rosemary's Baby_* is that Rosemary isn't an innocent. The moment she looks at her child, all of her "repulsion" disappears as she starts to hum a lullaby to him.
How did you get that from the ending? I saw it showing a mental break and her love from her child trumping it's appearance
@@drakependragon8439, because her horror should be able to trump that completely. No mentally stable person would even be able to function after finding out they conceived the Antichrist. As many feminists out there who want to claim "the Holy Spirit r**ped the Virgin Mary", having actually had sex with Satan himself absolutely would unhinge a woman.
The fact that the very first Saw is not on this list, feels wrong. Whether it's the best twist of all time or not is entirely debatable and subjective, but it's hard to argue that it wasn't effective.
It is their list but I agree
It’s in the first video
@@loganmclarry Oh right, my dumbass missed it said "more", my bad haha
I had somebody in my life masquerading as a friend. Who tried to kill me, multiple times. (we were in the same fencing group and the majority of his attempts seemed like mistakes or accidents). Basically, I was in more than 500 duels. In the end, he tried to stab me in my sleep and poisoned my tea, which is how I found out that I have resistance towards aconite, so high that it is almost seen as immunity.
To the point... The thing I cannot apprehend is, that like in Lori's case, there were multiple options to solve their hatred in a more simple and non-confrontational way. In my case, I was even in the process of leaving my fencing group for a teaching position in a fencing school. And it was him, Bob, who begged me to stay. Only to get more opportunities to kill me, well try to kill me. And all of this, because he made himself believe that I am better. At fencing, in school... If he asked me, I would tell him, that I am nowhere near his potential, and yet...
The end of Jacob's Ladder is rather reminiscent of Ambrose Bierce's short story "Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge" (1890).
I heard that the “it’s all in Patrick’s head” isn’t correct, and it was confirmed that Patrick’s money and influence swept it all away and he actually did those things…
Every time Depp says, "Headless horseman!" you have to take a drink.
You got American Psycho wrong... He wasn't making it all up, it was all very real. This isn't a theory the directors straight up said "We don't like endings that 'it was all in the characters head'. We wanted the ending to blur the line " The only debate is who he killed and who did he fantasize about killing. Patrick was a murderer no debate, but WHO he killed is a mystery.
UHM 1999??? I have never been so shocked to remember the release date of a movie. Im so fucking old now.
“You’re next” is great.
Especially the catharsis section
How was cloverfield lane a plot twist? Goodman literally told us what was going on outside the entire time. Plus we got confirmation when the chick tried to escape and another chick died outside the door.... Did you even watch the film?
But we dudnt really know until after the film tho? Back hi your point/show evidence
The Witch and 10 Cloverfield lane was one of my favorite movies well acted crazy tension and Eli and The Final Destination was a suprise twist for me
Did I miss something? Is the sixth sense really not on here?
The sixth sense was on the previous video they made of horror movie plot twists.
The Prodigy (2019) had a plot twist bc Miles Blume is actually possessed by a serial killer named Edward Scarka
Insidious: Chapter 2 (2013) had a plot twist bc Josh’s body wasn’t Josh which he was still in the Further so this evil spirit called The Bride in Black possessed him
Truth or Dare (2018) had a plot twist bc Carter is Sam that freed this demon named Calux in a jar
The Boy (2016) had a plot twist bc Brahms was in the walls of the house the whole time
The Black Swan (2010) had a plot twist bc Nina Sayers stabs herself near the end and then dies at the end of the movie
Emelie (2016) had a plot twist bc Emelie is not the real babysitter which she’s an evil couple bc her bf, fiancé, or husband is the stalker while she’s the evil & manipulative babysitter
The Girl Who Got Away (2021) had a plot twist bc Katie is Christina, the main villainess
Fallen is so awesome ❤
Love horror movies
Yeah they are super creepy but for some reason I enjoy the stories in them
Your Next was a powerful well made and acted surprise.😍😍😍
(spoiler) The ending of Saw, anyone? Even at the end of the list?
or perhaps Cube? (the lone survivor is the 'idiot'?)
It’s their list but I agree for saw
Sixth Sense, Saw
The original "Saw" has to be on this list... as does the French movie: "High Tension".
Please someone list the movies so that we don’t get spoilers 😢
At this point if you haven't seen a 20+ year old movie and get upset at spoilers then thats on you lol😂😂😂 .
@@joeavila14 I’ve only seen like one or two of these movies but I know most of these spoilers because of how famous they are
There's a spoiler alert on every video, so if you haven't seen any these movies by now, that's YOUR problem, not theirs.
@@joeavila14 I didn’t watch the video for reasons already stated, you clown
@@abellewis3062 how old are you? Take a chill pill with your emotions, kid
"talk to me" deserved to be on here.
No shutter island?!!!!!
Orphan (2009) had the most surprising plot twist I wasn't expecting
Yes, what about "the Sixth Sense"???
Can you do top 10 episodes of the Ultimate Spider-Man TV Show?
the remake of invasion of the body snatchers ending was sooooo good
Not All of Patrick Bateman's Imagination is Real.
In Malignant, the killer named Gabriel shares the same brain as the main character and was sealed by surgery, but due to the husband smashing her head in a wall, the tumor is out and out on a rampage while taking over the body of his host without the woman knowing. Idk if I said it the best but that’s
The creator of American psycho said the murders did actually happen
My favorite is the same twist as in Final Destination 5. In "Red Dragon", Hannibal has been arrested for his crimes. While in his cell, he has been told he has a visitor...Clarice Starling.
How was Red Dragon a twist? Wasn't it presented as the prequel to Silence of the Lambs?
I saw the cabinet if doctor Caligari in my art club and it was my first time seeing a silent film
Can you do comic book origin of Marvel's D'Spayre and Sleepwalker?
I don’t get why people didn’t like Life!!! That movie was amazing!!
The Boy is my favorite on this list
The Boy is a nice spin on "The doll is possessed"
What a twist
American Psycho is deliberately left OPEN. It's not a twist that it was all in his head, it's left very open as to whether it was all in his head, it all happened, or he's been telling us a greatly exaggerated version of what happened.
Fallen is top scary plot twist ever
What confuses me about FD5 us that Molly SURVIVED the bridge collapse in the premonition. She made it across and off of the bridge.
It wasnt all in patricks head? The director even said so
I loved everything about “You’re Next.”
Soon as I saw the goat in The witch I know he was the devil
What about for Old that they were on the beach for a reason?
The visit!!
I was underwhelmed for most of the movie the first time I watched Final Destination 5....and then I got to the ending. It's still not my favorite entry in the franchise, but it's DEFINITELY my favorite ending.
Impressive. Very nice. Let’s see Paul Allen’s list!
I knew that Lori was the Killer in Happy Death Day from the first time watching the trailer. I bet a bunch of people picked up on it too. Fun movie though.
Does no one remember Apollo 18? I thought that twist was great!
What was the twist?? I haven’t sene the movie and spoilers don’t bother me
@@trumptouchesivankabasically the government and NASA knew that this alien species existed and was on the moon and sent the 3 protagonists up to it anyway because they wanted to study them but in the end when it goes wrong they pass their deaths off as accidents during training exercises and basically planned to leave them up there permanently when they came into contact with the creatures
If 10 Cloverfield Lane is canon to Cloverfield
It is tho?
Billy and stu are killers SCREAM 1996
I am shocked that The Sixth Sense is NOT on this list.
Most twists in horror movies pull the rug out from under us in a negative way -- finding out the evil villain isn't really dead, etc. But there's a little-known horror film called The Darkroom, with Lucy Lawless and Reed Diamond, that has a twist at the end that is quite moving. In a good way, that is.
It's not true horror if the twist ending is positive, imo.
We love you Rebecca
I love it when people argue about whether Patrick Bateman really was a killer and miss the entire point of the movie.
The Elias/Lukas twist wasn't a twist for me because I read Tryon's "The Other" about 50 years ago. Now, anytime I see twins in a book or film, I have to wonder if both are real, or if one is an alter.
SOLID LIST
Will forever love Erin from you’re next one of the most badass female Characters in any film imo
Fallen is a good movie if you want to get frustrated...
Life was good
Happy Death Day had some great kills but it really didn't take long to figure out who the real killer was
Cloverfield is great too
We all never saw the ending of Happy Death Day coming.
Is it weird I have a poster of Howard from 10 Cloverfield Lane in my room? XDDDDD
Cool
Could you please title the chapters with the movie name rather than the twist
Hot take: The Boy would've been better with the haunted doll. Doll kills her crap boyfriend, she parties it up with Brahms by her side 😂 The twist was a huge let down, not special or unique. Reminded me a lot of all the B movies from the 80s, throwing in a twist just to have a twist
Im missing saw I and II
Happy Death Day is my guilty pleasure "must watch" Halloween movie every year...
