Orphan
Saying Malignant is a bad movie is a bit of a stretch
I just adore your channel❤.
Star Wars , Luke i am your father
Calling orphan a bad movie is insane
I totally agree. I love Orphan.
Indeed. My personal favorite.
That's the part I'm stuck at! Wonderful film
@@angelwhitehead8688 incredible film.
It wasn't bad but not "incredible" or anything like that. Not worthy of being anyone's favorite but there are a lot of slow folks out there who are easy to impress.
I definitely agree with everyone. Orphan (2009) is not a bad movie. Isabelle Fuhrman gives an unforgettable performance for her age when it was released.
There were a lot of movies on this list that were good, I think.
I agree. I didn’t think orphan was bad at all.
Yeah but without the twist the movie was just meh. I think that was the point of the video
Yes but that doesn't make It a good movie
It was honestly a good movie as well as some of the others that r on here i wish they did more research on the stuff and movies they reviewed as well as tv shows
I was honestly taken aback by the "Orphan" twist when I initially saw it. Isabelle Fuhrman gave such a chilling, unsettling performance. 😱
Yes. I was impressed that she brought it all back for another film
That's nothing in the 1994 movie Clifford did the same thing the family that was taking care of Clifford didn't realize that he was a 40 year old man and not a 10 year old boy
I have seen yo ubfeore!
@@illuminatipoodle4517 is that a good thing?
@@jsmith3946 iirc it was his uncle looking after him
The Book of Eli and Fallen are both amazing movies. Denzel Washington is a national treasure.
How Book of Eli ended up here is baffling. The movie was actually good, the twist was cool, but it does kinda put the movie into "bs, wtf, insane" territory. Maybe have the book be in a dead language instead? I mean c'mon, how's a blind guy gonna wipe out every baddie he runs into in a post-apocalyptic world?
One of my favorite movie quotes of all time comes from Fallen. "There are moments which mark your life. Moments when you realize nothing will ever be the same and time is divided into two parts: Before this, and after this. Sometimes you can feel such a moment coming."
@@adamb89 agreed
@@jefft2546 same way daredevil does
Book of Eli is a bad movie. Ridiculous concept. Makes no sense. Super annoying.
Would have been an ok short Twilight Zone Episode.
Yes, Denzel Washington is great. Which makes his participation in this movie a particular waste.
“Devil” scene when the old lady rose up behind the last surviving guy sent chills through my body in the theater no lie
Me too! When she stared him down and said that she really wanted him... oof. Definitely sent chills.
I literally yelled, "Oh what the fxxk!!!" when that scene happened. But I wasn't mad, it's the opposite. It all makes sense and honestly I was legit scared shitlesss. I legit thought he's gonna die the worst way. But the bigger twist came in clutch. He confessed from heart, and the Devil couldn't touch him. I don't think the movie is bad at all. I love those movies that keeps you on your toes, and a satisfying ending.
Honestly, Orphan is my favorite movie. Fuhrman gives an amazing performance, and Vera Farmiga plays her part so well. Also, the conflict between them is spot on.
Peter Sarsgaard is also terrific.
Great actor in vsrious movies.
Orphan is your favorite movie?????? Have you seen other movies?
@@ImMerritt yes.
@@mrchenz1371Then watch more, because although "The Orphan" is a pretty good movie, it's clearly miles behind many others...
My personal pick is The Village. Some may say it's a great film ruined by its twist, but I think the opposite personally. It's actually a pretty typical monster movie on the surface. Even though it's set in the 19th century, it's still kinda cliche. Cept it's not set in the 19th century. It was in modern day with police cars and mentions of aircraft, with the elders lying to the younger people to maintain power over them. Sound familiar? It turns The Village from a generic film to a simulation of what it's like to live in a cult all your life, not allowed to see how the world has changed, in for a surprise if you find your way to modern civilization.
I really enjoyed The Village too. I didnt really think abput tbe "cult" aspect, but you're totally right. I was certainly surprised by the ending, and the harsh realization that no matter how good the elders masquerade was that the truth would catch up.
I see what you mean though, and that adds a layer.
It’s very similar to a book I read in 4th grade, so I knew the ending from the start.
The only dumb thing about The Village is how did they not ever see an airplane or helicopter flying overhead?
I think the problem with the Village is that it has two twists... there's who is behind the creepy characters, and then the fact it is the modern day. Either one would have been fine, but two twists just feels greedy
@@Rockhound6165 Apparently it's in an area where no helicopter pads or airports are around due to it being a sensitive wildlife preserve. They paid for it to be no fly.
The Ender reveal is bigger than that. Because he kind of threw away troops believing it a simulation so he threw away many thousands of lives.
It wasn't his troops, but the genocide of the planet. Which was stupid, because the aliens were genocidal towards humanity.
It's even better in the books as he goes on to be the reason his own name is so hated in history. The movie cutting off the last chapter (and all of Val and Peter's story) sorta ruins that.
@@endersdragon34 blah blah blah. Fuck books.
@@Alcoholic_Nerd when the books make the movies worse they matter
@@endersdragon34 Blah blah blah. Fuck books.
Final Destination 5 isn't bad. It's one of the stronger ones in the series even without the Flight 180 twist.
I agreed.
Me too
I think people who say it’s a bad movie just don’t like that genre
My favorite part about this twist is how subtle the signs are that it was present-day. All the vehicles, technology, soundtrack, and even wardrobe all hint that the events of the film aren't current and align more with the part 1 era.
Oh I agree. It’s definitely one of the strongest entries in the franchise
Orphan is even scarier when you find out that it’s based on a true story where a 30 something year old woman poses as a child and causes havoc and abuse to the family. I’ve never actually seen the movie but the true crime story is super disturbing and unreal.
yeah the craziest part is that something similar actually happened
Watch the movie
@@ms.mi.2231 maybe one day, but I’m not really into scary movies. I like scary stories, but I can’t stand to actually see gore or anything like that.
I'm not sure what true story you are referring to, but the true story linked to Orphan actually happened after it, where the parents accused their adopted child of being an adult trying to kill them, and they abandoned her. It was later proven she actually was a child with dwarfism and the parents got the inspiration from the film
@@attack125 if you're talking about Natalia Grace, there is some doubt about the story especially from the perspective of the adoptive parents.
As a former critic, even the twist at the end of Final Destination 5 caught me by surprise.
and the funniest part is that movie used all FD1 era things throughout the whole movie, but it did in such way that we never noticed
I never watched Orphan when it was released it seemed like a predictable b rated horror/thriller but my Fiance kept talking about how good it was and to my surprise I watched it with her and it's an underappreciated gem
My personal favorite. So good
2 other underappreciated
gems from that same year--
"Surrogates" & "Fat Head".
and to think its (loosely) based on a true story!
Orphan is such a great horror film, the twist involving Esther was awesome
Devil is highly underrated. I actually remember there being a number of rumors about Dr Gordon being an accomplice in Saw 3D.
I fucking love Devil. Wasn't expecting much from it but really enjoyed it.
@@caphowdy666same
You pretty much figure that out at the end of the first Saw movie too. When he says "game over"
Finding out that the main character was one of the patients in Shutter Island blew me away when I first watched it
That twist is such a good reveal.
Rewatching the movie after knowing the twist you catch things that you missed the first time through that are now glaringly obvious in retrospect.
@@Tacobell1384 I love this about this movie because it is only made possible by our perception of cinema, we tend to believe anything we're told and shown. Before that I wouldn't bother asking myself if a scene looks normal or not, if a conversation makes sense etc...now I'm more observant.
When I first read Shutter Island, I was hoping it would become a movie. Like most movies it will deviate from the book, but this movie was pretty close and not straying too far from the book.
@@hassanorr9078 i didn't even know it was a book
It wasn’t a bad movie to start though
I think that whoever found Malignant a bad movie it's because took it too serious, when right on the beginning of the movie it is quite clear that it has the intetion to be watched not so serious.
I really, really loved Skeleton Key because of the slowly building tension, the general mood and the lovely set pieces like that old building. And, absolutely gorgeous - SPOILER!!! -
... the twist on that "it can't hurt you if you don't believe in it" with a subtly implied but never outright spoken: "it can hurt you plenty if you DO believe in it". There was a lovely hint at that in the "then get out while you still don't believe" that one character told the main, and it flips so many events. Yep, I guess the movie could have been faster paced, but IMO that slow burn worked great.
"Fallen" kind of suffered from an omnipotent enemy, I thought. If a demon can jump into pretty much anybody, then he'll easily bring down the hero: just get close enough to somebody super powerful and start dealing out punches. The fact that there was no protection against that possession makes the battle too uneven.
Great acting, though!
How is Orphan a bad film, it’s a great film even without the twist.
Because the orphan who looks like a child tries to seduce a grown man. Many might take that as an endorsement of such behavior. People in areas like Kabul, Tokyo, etc. might understand it as common western practice and might try to justify it if copied in life and in art. Orphan showed improper behavior hence it is a bad film.
@@whiwhimee How is it endorsement when it was the "villain" of the film doing the seduction, and the man being seduced is clearly disturbed and upset by her advances? Also how does improper behavior make a bad film? That is just the worst take ever. That's toeing the line of censorship and suppression of free speech.
@@whiwhimee
It's not designated as a "family film",
or just a drama, or a comedy.
It's a HORROR film!!
Surprised to see some of these labeled as “bad” movies. Malignant, Skeleton Key, Orphan, Life. Maybe not classics, but bad? Really?
Well, if no one else will, I will. I liked Book of Eli. I actually just recently rewatched it. I think it needs a serious re-appraisal, it really is a phenomenal performance by the whole cast, not just the big names. The message is good, hope can exist even at the end of the world.
Book of Eli is a great movie. The twist only cemented that.
@@rvoyles91 Exactly! There are obvious signs, when he's looking for something he's touching spots, he's making noise. When he lights the lighter for the Engineer, he passes his hand over the flame to make sure it lit. Such an underrated gem.
One of the Best Religion based movies ever made!!!
The Book that is not a book...kinda.🤔🤫
I agree 100%. Though once the twist was revealed it made it unrewatchable for me. The movie, IMO, was excellent with the twist making it spectacular.
I feel like alot of these movies on this list are not bad movies.
The only bad thing with Orphan is that it uses the same old trope of "my longterm wife/partner must suddenly be crazy because of this new event in our lives" How the dad stays oblivious to the red flags is funny. But I really enjoy it, and the sequel (that's a prequel) but you really have to watch orphan first as it plays into the fact that the audience knows the twist.
Wait a sec. The "unexpected plot twist" in Fallen is actually given away in the very opening of the film with Denzel's line "I want to tell you about the time I almost died." Cheers....
Viewers are intentionally
misdirected, though--
"...but you forgot something, didn't you?"
@@laustcawz2089 yes, I agree. The misdirection works. Sometimes you just pluck the "aha!" moment out of the air. Like realizing early on Bruce Willis is dead in "The Sixth Sense" or noticing Marty McFly leaves from Twin Pines Mall and returns to Lone Pine Mall. That kind of thing. Thanks for the insight. Cheers....
there's even a scene that shows the cat the first time Hobbes visits the cabin, stellar movie and top notch acting by Denzel, Goodman, Sutherland and the late great Gandolfini
I personally loved Orphan and The Skeleton Key. Both movies were great in my opinion.
I agree with you,I own both on dvd!
The Skeleton Key was so good that Jordan Peele had to copy it and make Get out.
I agree I love that movies.
I'm confused of how Orphan and Malignant are on this list consider bad like what? 😕🤔 Orphan and Malignant was absolutely and positivity both constructed perfectly from the very beginning to the end due to it's story, performance's, music, images, astomphere, tension, direction, and cinematography as it was definitely and completely spectacular and phenomenal. To this day I still watch both of them and I consider both classics and decent.😍😎💯👍
Whats really funny is how often WatchMojo flip flops on Malignant. I've seen lists where the praise it then the next they trash on it for the same reasons.
Malignant is one of the worst movies I’ve ever seen
@@camcramer22 that's your opinion. I enjoyed it.
I think Malignant was veeeery mediocre until the insane twist came. I thought it was pretty boring until the reveal
Malignant is criminally underrated in my opinion
Vanilla Sky and Fallen are such great movies; on top of that, they have good plot twists. To call them bad (especially Vanilla Sky) is totally nuts.
I mean there's a reason Hollywood made a version of the original Spanish one. It's an INCREDIBLE movie!
Two of my favorites!
Vanilla sky is a fantastic movie. Maybe the best movie ending ever.
THe writer obviously meant "bad" in quotes.
Ender's Game is one of my favorites. Its one thing to want to defend your people, its another to think you have the right to wipe out a species thinking its just. The fact that Ender himself was manipulated into thinking that he was just playing a simulation, only to discover that he played a role in a species own possible extinction, little wonder he had a mental breakdown at the end. It was even more tragic is that the Fornex were just defending themselves and just wanted to be left in peace. I have to wonder if there will be a sequel eventually.
The books have been out for decades. Only the first one really lends itself to being a movie if I recall. What follows is Ender’s psychological redemption as the speaker for the dead.
If there is a sequel it'd be nothing like the books which focus on Ender's psychological redemption and rebuilding of his life as he learns to deal with everything everyone else sees in him. Considering Ender's Game the film was made to be an action packed thriller, it's highly doubtful that the sequel would follow the same tone of the books, but instead would probably just be a rehash of Ender's Game with a different protagonist against a slightly different and probably actually aggressive (even if justifiably aggressive) species.
Edit: I guess what I'm saying is do not ask for a sequel for stories that don't need one because sometimes there's very few ways to improve with a sequel and very, very many to make it worse. A perfect example from this list, the SAW franchise.
@@morgantaylor84 True, some sequels end up doing more harm than good. Just look at Star Wars for example. I need to get around to sending for the books when I can, sounds like there's a big difference between the movie and the actual writings.
The book goes so much harder than the movie
The book(and the sequels) make it even more explicitly tragic. One of the key parts of Ender's tactical abilities is his empathy. Paraphrasing one of the lines from the book: In the moment he fully understands the enemy and is prepared to destroy them, he also cant help but love them. We see it with Bonzo in the shower fight scene, and a few other places, with the final fight being the ultimate example that breaks him when he learns the truth.
That Final Destination 5 twist was maximum meta. Loved it!
💯
I actually liked Seven Pounds very much. The twist was an extra bonus. I loved every minute of it.
Just make sure to tell organ donors to avoid getting stung by a box jellyfish. The venom would spread to those organs and make them as good as useless.
I loved that movie. I cried.
Skeleton Key really fits this title. I wasn't enjoying the movie, but the last 15 minutes stuck with me for a long time.
It is so unfortunate Life didn't succeed. It was very good as in the characters constantly did their best to make good choices. They were as logical as possible, did their best to ensure the survival of earth, and yet the alien was just pure brain and muscle.
I thought it was actually realistic regarding the science and the character choises, as you said. Love hard/realistic SCI-fi movies, and was impressed by how scary they managed to make a truly "alien" alien, if you get my meaning
Don't Worry Darling is just a more modern/misogynistic rehash of The Stepford Wives.
But at least the step fits wives we got the twist and it was a female that was the misogynist. Love that movie 😂
Don't Worry Darling is not misogynistic. It's misandrous as men as a group are portrayed as pure, irredeemable evil.
The life twist is really heartbreaking, i can't rlly explain it it just hurt a lot to see. The alien reaching earth anyway was bad enough, but imagine knowing this while hurling into deep space all alone without any control. Imagine being in the pod with the alien, knowing you're suffering for nothing, and knowing your partner is gonna die for nothing too now.
Terminator 3 isn’t bad, neither was Salvation, at least when compared to the next to films in the Terminator franchise. Judgement day being “inevitable” and how John survived it are great twists, and I wish we got more films about life after Skynet destroys most of the world.
Terminator 3 had its faults, but I liked it. Salvation was a fun dark sci-fi film, but not a good Terminator film, because it's inconsistent with what were told about the Future in the previous installments (the machines waging an all-out war against the remnants of humanity everywhere, at every moment; in Salvation it was more positional warfare with occasional forays into enemy territory by both sides, and there were no energy weapons to be seen anywhere).
Fo real I liked salvation and still do I even liked the last one with Linda Hamilton comin back even though I found the terminator being old and not deciding to be a robot was silly I feel like it only has one bad movie which was genesis which was garbage. After salvation I did wanted to see a sequel continuing the war against the machines with bale coming back it didn’t have to be a trilogy but I did wanted to see one more movie about the war
I'd rather they stop
@@georgeoldsterd8994 John did point out that things were not as he expected and that something changed the future, like the T800s came out early.
Malignant isn’t a bad movie it’s far from bad
The book of Eli wasn't a bad movie
Drag Me to Hell's ending made the whole movie worth watching. I wouldn't say it was a bad movie but just an a-typical one. Then in the end how it turns out totally different was is amazing.
I do remember the ending to that goofy ass horror movie. It was just all sorts of silly until the end and I was like "Oh. Wellll shit"
No no no no no no no no!! Orphan is not a bad movie whatsoever and is a very good underrated horror thriller! It’s twist only makes it even better!
I really enjoyed Skeleton Key. It was never a mediocre film for me but yes, the twist in the end made the film
Calling Click and Orphan bad movies are totally insane. I love those movies
It's amazing how well these "He or she was the true villain all along" twists work.
Smokin aces was such a good movie great action and great story the ending caught me off guard I loved it
I am glad someone else wrote here! That was an amazing movie
To me would be the twist at the end of the comedy film Scary Movie.
Argue all you want bout if it’s a bad film or not, but it overall is. The plot twist however (which I’ll be nice enough not to spoil) was both unexpected and different from the movies it was parodying
The ending was a parody of Unusual Suspects.
Honestly never thought of it that way but you’re right
Ender's Game was much better as a book, there were various subplots that they couldn't add into the movie that really push it forward.
Smokin' Aces, the old man wasn't an informant... he was actually an FBI agent who was set to go undercover decades before but was attacked. When he woke up, he forgot his true past and only remembered the cover story. The FBI was pulling out all the stops to help a guy who was constantly committing criminal actions in the hopes that he would one day remember who he actually was.
Fallen, Orphan and Malignant are all in their ways great movies.
Orphan is actually a good movie the twist was just a great topping,
click was mis marketed but Sandler gives a great performance,
Seven pounds wasn't a twist it's mentioned in the first scene.
Fallen was a good 90's film
Saw 3d was alright
I liked the Book of Eli.
There was only a couple moments in Smok’n Aces that felt confusing. Aside from that it was just a dumb action movie but an extremely fun one. Chris Pine as Darwin Tremor was wonderfully over the top
I loved Orphan, as well as it's prequel called Orphan: First Kill. That one had a twist that rivaled the first.
“Click” (2006) is a masterpiece, regardless of the plot-twist tho.
what plot twist
It was all right, but it dragged through out the film 🎥
A dream isn't really a plot twist its one of the oldest, must overused tropes in cinema
@@Jfen79 It wasn't a dream.
@@hernanbusso1609 click absolutely was a dream, he fell asleep in the store regardless of who or what Christopher Walken was supposed to represent everything he experienced was a dream and it's the oldest trope in movies
You forgot the best part of Final destination 5 ending were Nathan is killed by part of the plane after he finds the life he stole was doomed to die soon anyway from a brain aneurism.
In case of "seven pounds", the polottwist makes this movie even worse. Its the "easy path" for the protagonist, he is not redeeming himself, he just commits suicide to stop being tormented by his guilt, and in the process, he makes other people live with guilt that someone died for them to live.
Orphan is one of my favorite twists. The whole time wondering if she's a demon or something, turns out she's just a horny little psycho.
dead silence is not a bad movie. Story wise, it's scary as heck.
#7 Ender is not to blame for anything. It was all Graff’s fault! He wanted Ender to be the best soldier in human history, even if it meant screwing him over in the worst way possible!
I actually thought Orphan: First Kill had a decent twist as well......
Spoiler....
Leena escapes from the orphanage and makes it to the US by pretending to be the missing daughter of a wealthy couple. The husband/father is thrilled but then later the wife/mother and son/brother reveal they know she is not the daughter because the son killed her and the mother helped him cover it up. I remember being genuinely surprised when that was revealed.
Other than Eli being shown as blind or going blind at the end of the movie, the idea that he couldn't have learned how to read Braille, especially under the circumstances, seemed like a situation possible in my mind. Well, as equally as likely as everything he was able to do as a supposedly blind man. Shooting ppl that you can't see at a distance, outside, is just one of those things.
They at least gave a few hints about his blindness. He'd only attack people once they made noise - a lot of scenes, he'd just stay still until you'd see someone scrape the ground or an object and then he'd fire at them. He'd also walk straight into a door with his gun out first, so you'd just hear a large CLUNK as the gun hits the door, then he tries to open it. He'd also nearly walk right past a car, but once walking past it, suddenly stop then turn to look into it (which is a real thing - sound bounces off near objects, so even in darkness, you can tell a difference if something is near). There was also the gag about a sign or something, and he apologies and says he didn't see it. XD
Click has a better 2nd half but the twist was pretty needless. Walken didn't have to be literal angel of death and Sandler's character could've learned his lesson by some other figure.
"Orphan" was absolutely awesome! Can't say the same about the prequel, but it was great!
Orphan was good throughout the movie. The twist was just a nice cherry on top
Agreed!
Upgrade where we learn that the happy ending we see is actually the main protagonist being trapped in his mind after a stand of code gives his ai spinal implant to take full control
Upgrade isn’t even a bad film so pass
Honestly, if George Lucas had a backbone, he would have continued with the Jar Jar sith lord idea. It would have redeemed Episode 1 and 2 quite a bit.
That was a ridiculous idea, all it would've done was add more confusion to the Sith rule of 2, he served his purpose after Palpatine convinced Padme to go hide on Naboo, he needed a senator to approve the use of the clone army and with Jar Jar acting senator and they used him to get the ball rolling, so he was indirectly responsible for order 66
@@Jfen79 Luke they were following the rules. Lol.
We had Sidious, Duku, and Maul.
@@Spikes01k no, Dooku was not an apprentice until it was believed Maul was killed, and Anikan didn't become Vader until Dooku was dead, there was never 3 Sith Lords alive at the same time
@@Jfen79 not knowingly at least, apperantly maul was alive through all of it, and didn't doku have his own sith apprentice?
@@x-arya-x she was a Sith assassin, not a true Sith, Sidious even ordered Dooku to kill her because he felt her powers growing and was worried Dooku was training his own Sith apprentice to destroy him and Maul was no longer an official Sith
2 things about 7 Pounds ending though:
1. The jellyfish venom would at least have destroyed his heart, if not the rest of his organs.
2. Even if it didn't, pretty sure you can't designate certain organs to people. No ethical doctor would perform the surgeries and there's also the legal fallout that would follow.
I saw "The Book of Eli" when I was young. I vaguely remember the ending and always thought he remembered the whole Bible already and that the book was blank.
i did too! i think i just wanted to bc my great grandfather was a blind preacher, who in spite of never learning to read(not allowed bc of slavery) knew and could quote the bible by heart from cover to cover. when i saw book of eli, i thought someone had stolen our story somehow.
I wanna see Ryan Reynolds be Smokin' Aces serious again.
I wish that Dead Silence got a sequel. Also wish that they had made a movie where Kate Beckinsale character end up getting the control and ends up going too far with it
Well adam sandler ran out of material to steal from...he only found enough from a child horror writer to steal from. If RL stine would have made a sequel to HIS original idea...sandler then would have been able to
Christopher Walken has played an angel in two movies. Wow.
Same angel, too.
Bruh, the twist on Don't Worry Darling made it worse. And it was bad enough on its own before it.
Exactly. I have a friend who likes this movie and the twist but everyone is like, why?
I'd like to point out that Enders Game (the movie) is actually damn good, and rather faithful to the book by Orson Scott Card. If anything, the real issues with the movie are not a focus on the 'games', but the lack of attention payed to the video game Ender plays in his down time that is psycho-analyzing him.
I'm glad someone said it, it bothered me how they treated like the movie wasn't good and wasn't an adaptation
I adored the Orphan! I am actually shocked its labeled as a bad movie??? I watched it at least three times now 😂
Orphan is my personal favorite
Agreed, Orphan wasn't a bad movie, it was a great psychological thriller that succesfully tricked us into believing it was a mediocre horror movie during the first watch. When you first watch it under the assumption that this is your typical "child posessed by evil spirit" horror story, then it comes across as pretty lame compared to other movies that did that kind of story before. Until the twist is revealed and you retroactively recognize all the foreshadowing that worked up to it. The best about it is that all of her strange behavior that feels off for a child (even the parts that weren't scares and therefore could have been mistaken to be just random bad writing) make perfect sense for an adult psychopath.
There never was an Aaron!
👥 "Primal Fear" (1996)
Orphan was a good movie
Life’s plot twist shook me to my core
I love that movie. Would love to see a sequel. A story like this would be a good prequel to the first Cloverfield movie. I think I heard somewhere the script had previously been associated with the Venom movie, as an origin story for the symbiote arriving on earth
10:19 “…and slapping viewers right in the feels” I see what you did there watch mojo. Not sure if YOU realized it. But I sure did 😂
I got to say I rarely disagree with watch mojo picks of their top 10 lists but orphan was a really good movie. The girl who played Esther did a phenomenal job. It was good from start to finish.
Malignant wasn’t a bad movie! Wtf, neither was orphan.
who said it was
Yea I totally agree
@@jimbo9208 This channel says they’re bad.
@@jimbo9208 tell me you didn’t read the title without telling me
The Saw 3D twist was a nice one, as it explains how a dying engineer can do stuff like surgically implant a key behind someones eye...
Fallen is underrated.
I’m gonna retitle this video to ‘good movies that also had a twist evening’. Y’all put a lot of great movies on this list. Just because a movie has a slow buildup to the payoff, doesn’t make it bad. Especially if the payoff wraps the entire movie together.
this list is full of good movies, why are they labeled as bad????
I liked Devil. It was an interesting plot and was shot well.
Both Orphan films had mind blowing twists
I want to add another one: Reindeer Games where Ashley was the mastermind all along and she is Gabriel’s lover not sister and Nick was alive and was planning everything from the very beginning.
In Smokin Aces, wasn’t Spirazzo actually an FBI agent who had surgery to go undercover and gather evidence but ‘went native’. The reason they need Aces was to be a donor to keep Spirazzo alive so they could get him to spill his secrets
First of all, Ophran is not a bad movie smh
Good list.
I would add to this list Underworld, where the plot twist when we learn the werewolves had been wronged by the vampires long ago completely reversed which side was considered good and which was evil. Redeemed the whole plot.
*hand wiggle* The werewolves weren't really GOOD people either, they wanted to use Michael as a weapon without even remotely trying to talk to him. They *had* been victims. That much is certainly true. But Lucian kinda lost track of that.
'The Book of Eli' falls apart as soon as we find out he's blind. How did he get from one place to the next? How is he navigating? How is he fighting so effectively? How is he able to follow people's faces when he speaks to them? This movie took "walk by faith, not by sight" WAY too literally, and likened Eli to Matt Murdoch (Daredevil) without being a superhero/superhuman movie. I get blind people's remaining senses can be heightened to compensate for the loss of sight, but he was inhuman.
Well to be fair, he never said that he was blind. I believe the movie wanted us to imply that feature which is ludicrous.
That braille bible was genius.
I personally don't think he was blind, he just learned to read braille. Because, seriously...there's no way for him to be blind and do all the stuff he did.
The whole point is that it was a miracle.
The man is a prophet tasked with preserving the Word of God.
The entire time, God was guiding his feet to walk the path, enlightening his mind to know his enemies, and guiding his hands in battle. He doesn't need some scientific superhero explanation, his faith is what made him strong, wise, and a formidable warrior. That was the point of the whole movie.
If you didn't catch that the movie wasn't for you.
@@DaveyKanabus Thank you, even I, a devout Atheist, was able to put that together. I absolutely loved that movie despite the religious undertones, specifically because it was so well done.
I love the end of The Skeleton Key thats what you called getting even forever.
I liked Seven Pounds from beginning to end. Several of these movies were good.
The Skrull being the good guys in Captain Marvel is a good plot twist in an awful movie that deserved at least an honorable mention.
I thought Captain Marvel was a pretty good
You're just saying that because you hate Brie Larson for no reason, if it was anyone other Actress you wouldn't open your mouth
16:17 while I haven't looked through every comment to see if it was picked up, it seems that Repo Men basically lifted its entire twist ending from a Terry Gilliam-directed movie called 'Brazil' (1984). Please, if you get a chance, check it out. It was almost criminally underrated upon release at the box office, but gained a critical & cult following in the years since.
Lol "Orphan... a bad movie" 😂😂
The twist in Malignant is so ridiculous i have made so many people watch it just to see their faces during the jail scene
Devil wasn't a bad film, it was in fact really enjoyable.
The cat twist in Fallen is a misdirect from the real twist which may be the most brilliant I've ever experienced. Also the entire movie is excellent. One of the most underrated ever.
Honestly, I saw the twist of Dr. Gordon being involved with Jigsaw's games coming since Saw 2. In the opening trap, if you watch closely, the figure operating on Mike has a limp that favors his right side. Dr. Gordon had amputated his right foot in the first film, so it made perfect sense to me. When Saw 3D came out and it was finally revealed, I ended up shouting "I F***ING KNEW IT!" in the middle of the theater.
Good call out! They definitely had that limp shown way early on.
Ok, The Book of Eli is amazing from start to finish. I've watched it several times.
I don't think that Eli was blind through the duration of the movie. I think that the return of his eyesight is what made him believe in his mission which also made him the ultimate warrior to be selected by God with the use of his heightened other senses, while also retaining the skills needed to read and memorise the last remaining copy of the bible which was written in brail. The reveal of his eyes returning to there blind state was signifying that his mission was complete. A review of the movie has many events that clearly show that he could see.
What better way to gain or restore faith in God has been told over the ages than to give a blind man back his eyesight.
"I once was lost // but now am found
Was blind // but now I see..."
proof?
I saw this Asian film about 15 or 20 years ago where a serial killer this person was chasing was revealed at the end to be some little kid that had been in the whole movie. I can't remember the name of it, but the twist was so stupid I remembered it. If anyone else saw it, let me know the name of it because it is driving me crazy.
Why am I the only one who thinks the first Underworld fits perfectly into a list like this? It really is an over-stylized crappy vampires/werewolves/guns flick. The whole movie you're conditioned to root for Selene and her mentor Viktor while just the sight of Lucian makes your skin crawl. You cheer when Viktor finally rises to kick some Lycan butt. Then the twist happens. You learn that Viktor is actually a xenophobe that murdered his own daughter for falling in love with Lucian and was the one that turned Selene to begin with. In one short scene the viewer's entire allegiance flips to the other side. Lucian turns from a slimy antagonist to a sympathetic and noble character. This otherwise crappy move really made me appreciate what a brilliant actor Michael Sheen is.
