the Blackcoat's Daughter had me shocked by the end when it is revealed who we had been following in the present time-line.
It’s so confusing when you first watch it!!
i had to watch foundflix’s vid on that one to understand it.
I love that one. It's so underrated it's unbelievable.
I know you have talked about it before, but ‘Eden Lake’ has definitely been a movie that’s twist at the end leaves me broken.
Omggg yes that’s so brutal!!!
I swear that twist has been done, but I can't think of where. 🤔
Thank you for including The Others. I've always considered that movie to be criminally underrated.
The Skeleton Key ending is one of my favorites!
REVENGE 😂😂😂😅😅
_It is time, Lord to take me from the dry dust. Break me from these chains. Bring me from the Devil's house._
- Someone made a creepy Ring-style video of the conjure spell. It's on CZcams.
- _Skeleton Key_ (2005) is a great double-bill with _Spell_ (2020).
Also, it’s a light twist, but the original shutter has a great little twist at the end!
Omg totally agree!!! The remake butchered it too! Giving it away half way through
My back hurts. 😕
It's this awful chair. 😒
Primal fear…absolutely got me. An enjoyable film overall (it was a good book, too!)
Good call forgot about that one!🤘
That's not horror. Okay, maybe it is, especially since it's more realistic than something like Freddy Krueger. 😒
The second book was good also. Never read part 3, heard it was dumb.
the reveal in “hide and seek” w/ dakota fanning had me gagged & gooped but i was probably like 15, 16 y/o lol
Hahaha
Angelas face is so uncanny in *those* shots is something ive always loved because what we are looking at isnt anything too fancy as far as movie magic goes: its simply a mask of Angela on someone else
Some of my favorite twists are from the films The Lodge, The Invitation (2015 of course), Speak No Evil, The Visit, The Skeleton Key, and who could forget April Fool’s Day (1986)!?
Lake Mungo’s ending has stayed with me for years... both chilling and devastating.
_Lake Mungo_ (1998) was very reminiscent of _The Gift_ (2000). Maybe a good double-bill.
The last plot twist that gagged me was in The Borderlands (2013) I watched it last week. “You said it wasn’t real” uugghh 💔
👀👀👀
I’ll never forget that movie
The gasps in the nearly sold out theater as people started realizing that Bruce Willis was a ghost is something I'll never forget. I let out an "oh my God" and then seconds later the entire row in front of me just gasped. Brilliant filmmaking. I swore that other characters has spoken to him. I was so fooled.
Haha omg that would have been amazing to see in the cinema
I don't watch movies in theaters, I watch them at home, so by the time it came to video, the secret was out. But I do recall David Letterman getting a lot of hate for spoiling it on his popular late-night show to millions of people. 😂
@@I.____.....__...__ That's too bad. The movie is so good even when you know but so much better one time not knowing. That feeling when everything clicked into place is something I'll never forget and rarely happens to me. The only other movie that got me that good was The Usual Suspects.
I really love your approach to spoilers. Even in a video devoted to spoilers, you give people a chance to duck out if they want to avoid the spoiler. I hate how casually people will spoil a movie, especially older ones that it's assumed everyone has seen. Every movie is new to somebody. There are so many movies I never got a chance to see unspoiled, including ones made before I was born. How cool would it have been to see Psycho without knowing the whole damn plot going into it?
Anyway, one of my favorite horror plot twists is Jacob's Ladder. Pretty easy to see coming today, when everyone is expecting a big plot twist in every movie, but it's so beautifully done. I love that at various points throughout the movie, it's almost explicit, if you re-watch it it's not subtle at all, but you still wouldn't expect it if you weren't necessarily expecting a twist ending.
Thank you so much for your kind words! ❤️❤️ and yes great movie!
Personally have a soft spot for The Uninvited, probably because it's one of my first horror movies. I just love how dramatic the twist was handled.
It’s a remake ! Have you seen the original?
@@spookyastronauts Yes, I did! I liked it, too. Even with seeing the remake first, A Tale of Two Sisters was full of surprises.
The "they were dead the whole time" trope is so overused, even some derivatives of it have become cliché like the "one of them was dead the whole time" variation. (*cough*GoodNightMommy*cough*)
@@I.____.....__...__ Oh, absolutely. But since it was my first experience with the trope it has that special place in my nostalgic heart. Otherwise than that you're absolutely right.
My husband just watched it for the first time the other day, and when the reveal about the blonde sister came out, he said "Whaaaaaat? Whoa!" out loud. It was fun to hear such a strong reaction from someone.
Heck yeah Sleepaway Camp! Oh man that film brings me such joy. I dressed up as Aunt Martha for a horror themes birthday party and nobody had any idea who I was 😆The Boy had the misfortune of being viewed by me very shortly after seeing Housebound so that was fresh in my mind and I guessed the twist very early on, but it's still such a fun 2010s ride of a movie. The Mist is my favourite King adaptation too. The thing I love about that ending (SPOILERS!) is how Mrs. Carmody has been making these crazy predictions throughout the movie but somehow they all work out, and her final one is that the boy needs to be sacrificed. And what happens when the boy is sacrificed? It all adds a layer of ambiguity to everything that's come before it.
Also also, a classic film that got me recently was Les Diaboliques (1955) that ending was quite fun indeed 😆Ooo and the original The Vanishing.
I read Gone Girl without knowing the twist that comes halfway through and it's still one of the most mindblowing moments I remember from fiction.
Omg yes!!!
Still not over Saw twist so many years later . Such smart writing.
The absolute cackle I let out when you mentioned The Boy! If you told me it was deliberate satire of an M. Night movie, I would believe you.
Also, absolutely *adore* The Others, such a haunting, beautiful movie
Bahaha
Primal fear, i remember i saw it really young (16 years or something like that) and blew my mind.
Haven't watched it since.
You can watch _Spotlight_ (2015) in the meantime; same theme. 🤷
High tension (2003) got a shocking twist ending. Unfortunately it doesn’t really makes sense, but still a good movie with fantastic practical effects.
Yeah, it's a bizarre one. It was pretty good overall, but the "unreliable narrator" shtick just doesn't explain it away, especially the head scene; they were IN VERY DIFFERENT PLACES! 😒
The Orphanage was so sad....made me cry....great movie though...
Jacob’s Ladder
jacobs ladder 1990 yea very nice,..in the same line Angel heart 1987
The "they were dead/comatose the whole time" thing has been done for centuries. It's hard to spin it in a way that's interesting. _The Others_ did sort of put a twist on the twist by making them the ghosts instead of just plain dead.
Some of my favorites not mentioned…
The Visit
Sinister
Oculus
The Devil’s Candy
Final Destination 5
The Invisible Man (2020)
10 Cloverfield Lane
- Did Sinister have a twist? 🤨 It was pretty straightforward. A "reveal" is not the same as a "twist".
- Likewise, _Oculus_ didn't have a twist. It was clearly established it would mess with their senses. 🤷
- I don't recall a twist in _Devli's Candy_ either. Again, that was just a reveal.
- _-10 Cloverfield Lane-_ _The Cellar_ (2016) is a great double-bill with _Take Shelter_ (2011).
- _Invisible Man's_ twist was debatable. I saw most people saying that they saw it coming, and that was likely because it wasn't meant to be a "twist" per say, it felt like it was intentionally telegraphed to progress the story. 🤔
@@I.____.....__...__ The twist with Sinister was that the murders happen once the family moved.
I found that more of an interesting twist really.
With The Devil’s Candy I thought it was surprising that the dark voices Ethan Embry’s character was channeling through with all the disturbing art were actually the souls taken by the villain.
Oculus did have a bit of a twist in that it ended similarly to the way the young boy was institutionalized for what happened with his parents, and now in present day he’s arrested and now charged with killing his sister. The way the childhood flashbacks and the present day story blurr in the end is heartbreaking and effective.
Shutter Island got me with that plot twist ugh such a great movie too
I loved the ending of Delirium (2018). Even if you've seen a twist like that before, the way it all unfolded just really got me!
The twist in The Happening where it turns out it was ACTUALLY tiramisu!
😂😂 somehow that makes more sense
Everybodylikes hotdogs, right!? 🌭 🌭
Old Boy(2003) is brilliant. I loved it. This is the one, well it was actually Train to Busan, that got me watching
South Korean films. I did watch your recommendation for me The Handmaiden(2016). Fantastic. I was wondering
if you have done a Top 20's list of just South Koran/Asian Horror movies like The Handmaiden and Old Boy.
I'll check. I know others have done lists, but I know I would like your selections better Emma.
Housebound!
That movie twists at least four times.
THE SIXTH SENSE! THE MIST! THE OTHERS! You have nailed this genre :)
Not a movie, but the ending of the Twilight Zone episode, The Silence really caught me off guard the first time I saw it. I think my jaw actually dropped.
Twilight zone is so great! The episode The Midnight Sun definitely got me.
Ooooo I need to watch that it sounds interesting
A Tale of Two Sisters is a favorite of mine. Spent days thinking about it afterwards.
The James Wan movie with the puppets I remember having a pretty crazy twist involved. Dead Silence I believe it was called.
The twist in The Mist is really hard to beat.
My favorite movie with a awesome twist is "A perfect getaway ", and Running Scared.
Spoorlos (Aka The Vanishing) 1988 left my jaw on the floor for days.
Saw 2 had an amazing twist. Finding out that everything they were watching on the screens had already happened and that the detectives son was in a safe right next to him the whole time. Adding that Jigsaw basically tells the detective his son is close to him all the way back at the beginning, I was shocked!
Thanks for the List, the Reviews, and the Video 😀
Thank you!!!
@@spookyastronauts 😀
Session 9 (2001) has haunted me for over two decades. Highly recommended if you’re up for a slow burn followed by a gut punch.
I’ve watched it about 3 times hoping it will work for me it never does, I wish I loved it like everyone else?
@@spookyastronauts I wouldn’t say I loved it but it still sticks with me. Thanks for responding. Looking forward to your next video.
Each one of these movies pretty much had my jaw drop! Awesome video!!
Horrorableshow is wack! Great video Emma!
Same, Tanner!
Tanner trezza is wack! AWESOME VIDEO EMMA!!
Hahaha hi keeks!
@@Tannertrezza10 Keeks!!! Tanner feeds you. Don't bite his hand. 🤣
Love ❤️ this video
I love this idea for a video and got lots of recomendations from the comments. Thanks everyone! 'No Way Out' 1987, no one has mentioned yet. It feels tense as you really want the main character to prove his innocence. And then literally the last scene makes the whole story the opposite of what you were thinking. That's as simultaneously vague and intriguing as I can make it sound
No Way Out does have one of the best twists in film history. I think the only reason it doesn't get mentioned much here is that it's not a horror film. There are many mystery thrillers I wanted to mentioned, but I limited myself to those with horrific elements.
Oooo I don’t know if I’ve seen it! Thank you
It's obviously not as novel or impactful as the first but Orphan First Kills twist was crazy too. The entire time you're judging this woman for assuming Esther identity, a little girl who disappeared under suspicious circumstances. You feel so bad for the mother and son thinking their search is over. then you find out they killed esther (allegedly an accident but the brother is a little psycho) and dumped her in a well. That's so dark and it's the perfect way to set up this former villain as the protagonist because you aren't rooting for her, but against the mom and brother.
Brainscan (1994) has a twist and is a half-decent movie for its time. Well, it was fun when I was young. Not the best movie, but worth a look.
If you haven't seen if the film Identity and Frailty is a good one.
I loved the orphanage! Such a good film.
Great list of films, Emma. I have seen all the films you mentioned. There are many mystery films with some great twists, but I will keep my list of favorites mostly in the horror genre. So, in no particular order, here are some of my favorites:
PSYCHO (1960)
DIABOLIQUE (1956, aka Les Diaboliques)
RINGU (1998, aka Ring)
THE RING (2002, American remake of Ringu)
IDENTITY (2003)
ANGEL HEART (1987)
SESSION 9 (2001)
FOOTPRINTS ON THE MOON (1975, aka FOOTPRINTS, LE ORME)
TENEBRAE (1982, aka Tenebre)
REHEARSAL FOR MURDER (1982)
Omg The Mist!!!!! The craziest twist tbh
You have probably already seen it but Housebound from 2014 was very good for a few laughs and scares. Also, April Fool's Day from 1986 had a great ending twist.
Love housebound!
The Happening is my favorite twist. 😏😉😁 Lol.
Also, can I just say, I really loved this idea!! More, more, more!
Bahaha thanks! You hotdog 🌭 🤣
@@spookyastronauts hehehehehe.
😂😂😂
for example the catalan movie from jaume balaguero Els sense nom, 1999 the Nameless of Ramsey campbell is better twist and better movie than all the syamalan works, hes not horror hes bad syfy
THE BEST VIDEO OUT THERE 10/10
Corryyy🥹
The Caller(1987). I had theories as to what I thought the twist was gonna be and I was shocked when it was revealed. If you watch it go in as blind as possible! That movie broke my brain.
I'm grateful for you adding chapters. Let me skip what I haven't seen
👍🏼
I got ya!
I was trying to think of twists I love and I think more than twists, the things that I enjoy are mid act sharp left turns, like in Martyrs or Parasite or Barbarian, where you presume the movie is one thing but then it goes in an unexpected direction. I don't think you can call them twists because there's no real "gotcha" moment but there's certainly some rug pulling going on and then there's more time to develop the ideas before the climax. A good twist is always effective though, even on rewatches, and that's a tricky thing to pull off and have it be justified and not a gimmick.
I’m with you - these sort of ”earlier” twists where you get to spend time with a whole new unexpected scenario is awesome! ❤️
The Mist did catch me off guard partly because the truth David realizes happens immediately.
Meaning if they even discussed longer. I felt totally defeated after.
Which is what we are supposed to feel.
The Uninvited and Hide and Seek had great twists.!
I hope you also put the village, I think this film is so underrated but has a really good twists.
Aww shit ill have to catch up on some movies before i watch this one! Thanks for the warning!
John Cusak film “Identity”
The orphanage was so sad. It's the sadness movie ever 😢
The most recent one for me was Speak No Evil in Shudder (I think) it's really dark and horrific.
The orphanage movie (2007) is classic horror Emma
George A Romero’s Martin 1977 - that ending……
Life(2017) had a pretty good twist in it. Sleepaway Camp is the king/queen of this category though.
The film anguish from 1987 has a pretty great twist if you can call it that! Don’t look into it, go in blind, and it’s like a whole other movie than what you’d expect.
Have you seen Jabcob's Ladder? The old one not the new one. Great movie.
The twist at the end of The Wicker Man was pretty messed up
the mist (2007) shocking revealed end twist was so shocking
The Mist messed me up so much the first time I watch 😅as well as the Others.
Pure horror I give my nod to Saw, never saw that coming, not even close.
Oldboy got me just surprised me and horrified me
That’s an excellent list
Thank you!!!
Not horror but dark thriller
: Memento
Also Identity and Get Out.
A good twist I've always loved would be from the movie Undead. And yes it's an Aussie flick. Ok, so it's a comedy horror, but it's a gem if you like cheese. A bit like Peter Jackson's earlier work. It has zombies, aliens, flying fish and a foul mouth cop who won't stop swearing. It's cheese but it's good cheese if you like so bad it's good movies.
The twist at the end of The Mist is probably one of the most emotionally devastating in horror films. A great example of how a mediocre film can become a must-see due to the twist in the tail.
Yeah very true whenever it’s brought up it’s the first think I think about!
¿you call mediocre to the mist? then you have to call mediocre alien 79 the thing 82 predator 87,,cause all these movies are the last voyage of the demeter of stokers Dracula,....
_The Mist_ was practically a perfect movie; the horribly-perfect twist was just the icing on the cake. The performances from Harden and Jane were prefect, Mrs. Carmody was perfectly horrible, and the rest of the movie (story, creatures, effects, etc.) were good.
@@I.____.....__...__ its a very good syfy horror, but i dont like the cgi on creatures and monsters ,just on some backgrounds im of the practical effects, and here the cgi creatures could have been better, and here mr stephen king plagiarist copied the Resonator of lovecraft for his arrowhead project,,
Great video. Im sure this is a strange take but i always recommend the original saw movie. I know it often gets written off as murder porn just for slasher fans but its actually a really well done film.
Not strange at all! That’s why I mentioned it! Love it!
For what it's worth, I think Hellraiser: Inferno has a pretty decent twist.
Orphan was a great movie.
the best of all twists is always PSYCHO 1960
Omg I totally slipped my mind! You’re right!
@@spookyastronauts that i thought
Sixth sense movie (1999) end revealed shocked
Have you discussed Yellowjackets?
anyone reading If you have not seen Oldboy WATCH IT NOWWWWWWWW
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Don't watch it now...wait for the theatrical re-release that's coming up in August!
@@FritzTheCat_1030 true! WAIT TILL AUGUST YALL FALSE ALARM GO BACK TO YOUR LIVES.
The empty man would be a good addition to this list.
Spoiler-ish comment below:
I like to look at The Mist as the dark reflection of The Shawshank Redemption, where both tales originally end on an ambiguous note of journeying into an unknown future, but Darabont gave the audiences a more definitive and emotional ending for each.
The emotions you feel are completely opposite, of course.
The blackcoats daughter movie (2017)was a shocking the end when the revealed twist turns
I really liked a 2011 Korean film, The Cat. I don’t wanna say too much (spoilers), but that movie made me cry. Not a huge twist, but a sad, disturbing reveal that kinda haunts you.
👀👀👀
When I watched 'saw' at carousel when it came out and the audience clapped at the end of it I know thats a internet cloche but people were clapping myself included that ending blew me away on first watch
Hidden (2015) had a decent twist
I detested the theatrical version of The Mist because of its optimistic ending. (Not for the protagonist; but he was an idiot anyway: "Oops, outa gas: gotta kill everybody"). Much better was the novella, which ended with the survivors still searching for sanctuary; the fate of humankind unresolved. In the movie the U.S. Army/National Guard triumphs over all.
Dead End (2003)
Oxygen was amazing!
Alien Resurrection, From Dusk till Dawn
🖤
What was the twist in Signs? To me it was just an alien invasion movie.
Spoilers… everything came together that happened to save them . The water, her saying swing the bat etc … it was all fate
@@spookyastronauts Yes, the "signs" were not the crop circles, but all the things happening to the family before the invasion and sort of pointing the way.
Well said John!!
@@spookyastronauts I didn’t see that a twist rather just a solution to their problem.
Omg.... I just remembered one that I don't often hear about.... Stay. Such a great twist!
Oh it’s been too long since I’ve seen that!
Shook
😂
The Uninvited (2009)
Fear The Rain (2021)
I hadn't heard of Fear of Rain before. I've now added it to my watchlist.
All great twists sis! A twist I didn't see coming was in Dead And Buried a movie about literally manufactured zombies and at the end it turns out the sheriff investigating the murders and disappearances is also a zombie who just didn't remember he was dead! Well the other everyone's seen it the ending of Psycho. Good list and cool video Emma!👉😃👈
18:00 _El Orfanato_ is NOT a horror movie. NONE of del Toro's "horror" movies are horror; they're all depressing tear-jerking dramas with some suspense.
Mimic is a horror movie and Blade 2 is action horror
Totally disagree, ghosts kids that intend to scare the viewer are definitely horror. And horror isn’t that cut and dry anyway. But it’s also not a del toro film anyway… it’s written by JA Bayona and written by Sergio Sanchez, del toro was an exec producer.
Oh jeez I thought comments were turned off to avoid people posting spoilers. Derp!
Yeah I don’t know what happened so strange!
@@spookyastronauts it felt very meta I loved it!
