8 Best Movie Plot Twists I’m Grateful I Was Never Spoiled Of

This article contains spoilers for many films, including Fight Club, Psycho, The Prestige, Last Night In Soho, Parasite, Saw, Secret Window and Split.

It’s impossible to avoid spoilers all the time, but I’m so glad I got to experience all of these films Without the three is spoiled. I adore twisty films that subvert expectations, but the downside is that many of these movies have their twists spoiled by enthusiastic fans. Furthermore, when a movie with a twist really makes waves and stands out, it continues to be discussed for years to the point that the endings become common knowledge.

Movies like The sixth sense, Planet of the Apes, The usual suspectsAnd Return of the Jedi are all classic hits that have a huge twist that most people are likely to know about, regardless of whether they’ve seen the movies. However, I have still had the pleasure of enjoying many incredible movies with a twist that I didn’t know about before. The feeling that such twists bring is unforgettable, and precious, because you only get it once with each movie, before the twist is irrevocably expressed in your mind.

Action Club

The movie was released in 1999

This movie came out in 1999, when I was only 5 years old. As a result, I didn’t see the movie until many years later. Despite this, I somehow managed to avoid knowing about the incredible twist ending, and it was a brilliant surprise. Throughout the film, I was captivated by the ideology, the themes and the wild ride that Tyler Durden and the narrator go on.

In addition, the casting of Brad Pitt, Edward Norton and Helena Bonham Carter in the leading roles is absolutely inspired. The sheer differences between the enigmatic Durden and the terrifying narrator also helped create a divide between the protagonists that seemed impossible to cross.

But when the film ends, and it reveals that the narrator was alone much of the time, with Durden only in his imagination, it was a moment like shattered glass. The entire movie is reframed, And it’s really spectacular to watch.

Psycho

Go back even further, the Alfred Hitchcock classic, Psychois another film that I managed to avoid spoilers from despite the movie being in circulation for more than 30 years before I was born, and practically half a century when I was old enough to see it. I think that’s part of the reason the twist ending appealed to me, despite the pop culture references that pay tribute to Psychowas just as captivating and influential as the rest of the movie.

Yes, seeing Norman Bates dressed as his deceased mother for the first time is an iconic part of the film, but beyond that, the film features many other scenes that have taken on a life of their own. The shower scene, Norman’s smile as he stares into the camera at the end of the film, and several other moments have all been adapted and parodied in countless other works. But to discover the true depths of his mental state and see Norman in the dress is vital to understanding Psycho On a deeper level than the parodies it inspires.

The twist in The prestige Come twice, as the last act reveals many secrets, which become more and more uncomfortable and depict the blind devotion of these performers. While Bale’s character is revealed to be two twins who have chosen to live as one person in public and alternate, going to great lengths to match in every way, Jackman’s character unbelievably makes the greater sacrifice.

With his trick is only possible through the use of a machine that clones him, and therefore he requires away the other version with each performance, in the same brutal way that his wife died no less.

Saw

Saw is another film that I missed in theaters due to being too young at the time of release, but when I eventually saw the first entry in the franchise, it was incredibly compelling. I tend to prefer horror that is more psychological and less graphic, but these Saw Franchise delivers both to a high caliber. The villain of the film remains hidden throughout, but when he is finally revealed at the end of the film, it is absolutely shocking.

While the two men locked inside a dirty disgusting room are subjected to brutal trials that test their morality and humanity, they are in the presence of a dead body that seems to be a former victim. There is no reason to doubt the authenticity of the body, the conditions in the room and the brutality of their captor who speaks through the recording make it clear that death is the game.

Secret window

Secret window Starring Johnny Depp in one of his lesser known roles, But the exciting story of a writer who locks himself in a secluded house in the woods is totally worth a watch. When the film came out, I was in the middle of exploring Depp’s body of work, with Sweeney Todd, Edward Scissorhands, Chocolate It is only a few of the titles I was watching for the first time. Depp’s versatility, and his gravitation to roles that are typically a little outside the norm, intrigued me, and led me to watch this little-known Stephen King adaptation.

Also being a fan of Stephen King and his adapted works, Secret window It was already likely to be my kind of movie, but the psychological twists and thrills throughout elevated it to another level. As the film progresses, Depp’s character gradually becomes more unstable, as the stories he writes begin to take shape in his real life. Finally, he is revealed to be the protagonist in the story, and a secret killer, although even he was unaware of his murderous deeds.

split

The movie was released in 2016

Finally, when I was younger, I watched Unbreakable with my father and became a lifelong m. Night Shyamalan fan. Of course, the director has ups and downs, and there are many flaws in his films, but his signature twists are iconic, elevating his work to cult status. However, when I watched UnbreakableI certainly did not expect the story to be continued down the road, more than 15 years later.

But that’s exactly what Shyamalan did when he made it split and included an end credits scene that revealed David Dunn, the hero of UnbreakableAs part of the same shared universe. It was a spectacular and unexpected twist that was instantly satisfying, and created incredible anticipation for the final chapter in the trilogy, Glass. However, I was lucky enough to see how the Shyamalan universe was revealed in real time, while newcomers to the series will already have this twist spoiled just by knowing that it is a trilogy.
