Fun fact about the Psycho plot twist, that movie is the reason we have timed movies now. Before that movie they used to just play movies on repeat all day, you would go in whenever you wanted (even half way through a movie) and watch for however you would like, there would be ads, cartoons, a movie, etc. just playing over and over. With the release of Psycho, Hitchcock didn't want the twist to be spoiled for movie goers so he urged theaters to play it at specific times and refused to allow any theaters that wouldn't do this get a copy of the movie. THATS how monumental this movies twist was.
You guys forgot the saddest part about the twist in The Orphanage; she had accidentally trapped him in the basement while looking for him. The first shot you guys show is actually her doing this. She’s moving furniture around to try and find a clue and she leans something heavy against the hidden door in the wall he had gone into.
@@serenapenner3581 What does that have anything to do with this movie…? Gypsy was a girl who was horrifically abused by her mother, not a psychotic 33 year old woman posing as a child.
@@serenapenner3581 There was a case similar to Orphan, but I think you have Gypsy Rose confused with someone else. Gypsy Rose is the woman who was horrifically abused by her mother that had Munchhausen-by-proxy.
The fan theory about "The Mist" makes the ending even worse. Earlier in the movie, the crazy lady in the grocery story proclaimed that to make the Mist go away the hero's son must be sacrificed to end the curse. So if he had "just waited a few minutes" nothing would have changed. The Mist only parted because he shot his son!
Yoooooo I just got chills. That’s fuggin twisted and I like it. You right though it’s way worse because it makes the crazy lady who I couldn’t wait to die not crazy.
THANK YOU!!! Finally Dead Silence is getting respect that ending is TERRIFYING. AngelHeart one of my fave horror films. The Others is so good my favorite part is when Graces husband returns home realizing that Grace & his children were dead.
Actually, the biggest plot twist of You’re Next to me is Erin. Who TF EVER expected her to have been trained as a survivalist AND able to use it at a moments notice.
@@Anti-Santa86Yeah, I feel like the audience was better off not knowing what caused the time loop. It’s sort of like the writers of Halloween 6 explaining why Michael keeps coming after Lori and her descendants. It was a pagan cult?! Uck!
I remember watching The Others in theaters. Knew nothing about the movie, didn't even see a trailer. I was shocked at the ending. Because of that movie, I only watch teaser trailers. Makes movies so much better when you go in as fresh as possible.
Some of the best movie experiences were in my early years when I discovered horror movies and watched everything without knowing what some of there plots.
Bunny Lake is Missing. A woman frantically tries to find her daughter after she disappears from school, but the police and school can find no trace that girl ever existed. The entire movie is trying to prove the woman is making everything up only for the reveal that her brother kidnapped her daughter
It sounds similar to the Brittany Murphy movie *Abandoned* where she takes her boyfriend to the hospital and he goes missing but no one remembers him. It was some kind of scam and he was in on it and so was one of the nurses
I would definitely call that a twist! They put the alien from Life coming to earth at the very end in the list, why not Alien? I'm surprised they didn't put that scene in to begin with.
It wasn’t all in his head for American Psycho. It was set up for a debate between viewers , but the author has said it was never supposed to be that way. He did kill especially the first one. It is supposed to be a play on how they all look and act the same, no one can even tell who is who.
Bret Easton Ellis has even said he doesn't know if Bateman killed anyone or not. Both the book and the movie leave it up to the audience to decide. So, yeah. It shouldn't be on here.
I have read the book. He did everything. The cop only gets a report at the end where Paul Allen is mistaken for a living person in London. Confusion is a major theme in the book. So many people live in modern cities. Everyone looks the same, lives the same life, eats the same etc.
@@knutblume907 It's beyond confusion, it's more like the sense of uncaring / disconnect between humans has been dialed up to 13 for this financial psychopaths. They don't connect with people and therefore have a difficult (see: impossible) time differentiating one from the other, they focus on the wrong things. This is alluded (albeit in reverse) with the business cards. To every normal person those cards are all the same, and the people are different. But within the scope of the movie, all the people are the same and the cards are different.
@@PhillipPerin Yes, but the cop is also half ass to his duty. By the way the violence factor of the movie is 1 in the book it is a 10. Never thought about the business cards. They are obsessed with it like with the clothes.
Surprised that Shutter is not included on this list. 🤨 Shutter (Thai: ชัตเตอร์ กดติดวิญญาณ Chattoe: Kot Tit Winyan, "Shutter: Press to Capture Ghosts")[2] is a 2004 Thai supernatural horror film by Banjong Pisanthanakun and Parkpoom Wongpoom; starring Ananda Everingham, Natthaweeranuch Thongmee, and Achita Sikamana. It focuses on mysterious images seen in developed pictures. The film was a box office success.
My favorite plot twists are the ones where the protagonist comes out fighting and really sticks it to the killers like I Spit on Your Grave, Last House on the Left, also You're Next...the revelation that the main gal could take care of herself and being a survivalist, that's just epic! On the other hand, in Don't Breathe, the blind man becoming the villain and when the wife is "rescued" by the family of the killers in Eden Lake-brilliant, although the winner ultimately is the evil but you can't deny the good twist even if it is at the end. Perhaps, you should make another list! 😊
Even if she can’t come back to life, I really hope Christine and the boy at the beginning of the film can be set free to heaven. Or if the sequel never comes about, I try best to convince myself that the 3 day torment and deaths were real, but god either intervenes & takes them to heaven and the ganush bloodline are the real doomed ones. Either way, humans possessing the powers to invoke such curses and doing so over slights is downright terrifying. It wasn’t about the denial of the extension, it was about pride and pride is a worse sin than greed
I completely agree...I also like the idea of maybe bringing back Justin Long as the character who goes on a hunt for a way to release the damned from Hell and there's a big battle between good and evil. It's cliche, I know, but I think that if my boyfriend went to Hell by simply doing his job, I'd want to get justice too. Technically, that's what happened. You can't blame someone really for needing to make a living.
Maybe not among the best of the best but certainly the best if the horror camp movies, Sleepaway Camp where the little girl is the murderer but wait, the little girl is really a little boy. You certainly have nailed the best twists in horror, indisputably. As far as twists in general goes, one that has stayed with me was the Michael Douglas film, The Gift where it was all a birthday gift for the man who has everything. I never saw that one coming and I’m pretty good at figuring out the plot finales. Can’t wait for the next movie to hit the big screen with another plot twist no one guessed.
If you don't mind watching a film with subtitles, and have patience, "A Tale of Two Sisters" is a true masterpiece. It starts out slow, and may seem quite confusing to some, but there are tons of little hints, a double twist, stellar performances, and gorgeous cinematography.
The Uninvited (2009) is the US adaption. I REALLY recommend it as well. It is one of the ONLY adaptions of an Asian movie I’ve ever approved. It is amazing and beautiful and 50% different in story so I appreciate it so much.
@@fd3 Usually all I ever see about this movie is people talking about how terrible it is and how inferior it is to the original. I personally love this movie. I thought it had a great twist. I actually have never seen and likely never will. I don't care for foreign films because I can't follow the subtitles and still keep up with what it is happening in the movie
The Shrine had a good twist! A group of tourists come across a cult that makes sacrifices to a shrine. But it turns out those who look or touch the shrine become possessed and the “cult” are just the villagers trying to prevent more demonic possessions!
Here's another spoiler: Matthew Lillard plays William Afton, the villain in Five Nights at Freddy's and in the games, he says, "I always come back!" And Matthew said it IN THE MOVIE. Like, complete coolness right there!!!
My favorite one has to be black christmas 🤘. That final phone call and the zoom out of the house is perfection. Also margot kidder is something special 🤘💙
In Jacobs ladder it was the acid trip he took at the start of the film. He says before he takes it, it can make him hallucinate 7 different trips! He does die in it. Great film. With lots of different twists in it.
There is actually a fairly convincing theory that the mist wasn't broken up by the military, but by him shooting the kid. The same way that the crazy cultist lady at the mall said.
It was a great twist ending that exemplifies what Horror should be. King's original ending was much more open-ended. I'd say the movie ending had a much more powerful reaction, that as @christopherdavidson17 mentions, got a nod from King himself.
@@Sc-ky2ik...I still love that line out of the original ending though...the one about Hartford and hope. Almost as good as the first line of the first tower book.
The Others is one of my absolute favorites. I love the idea of ghosts haunting humans bc ghosts are being haunted by humans. Then Insidious 2 tying back into the events of Insidious 1 (the doorbell ringing but no one was there) was the coolest mindblown moment of my life
I watched 10 Cloverfield Lane with my mom and sister for the first time a couple of years ago. I was very weirded out by I honestly thought that what he was saying was right. It was just so absurd and disturbing that it didn’t seem like he could’ve made it up. So when she finally gets outside and realizes he was right I wasn’t completely shocked
Happy Death Day isn’t the only time loop horror movie, Haunter is as well. I watched Haunter on Netflix years ago as well. The reveal is disturbing but it’s pretty good. I recommend it
The last movies that got me scared, weirdly, was It Follows. I fell asleep in the middle of the movies and dreamed the ghost is following me everywhere. 😅 The first Terrifier movie also quite awesome, I hope they make another sequel. I like that villain, he's really scary IMO. ❤
@@Seashelle564 I want to see Longlegs (in theater in my town right now). People said it's quite scary. Unfortunately I am bedridden sick since last week. 🥲 I avoid reading/watching the spoilers, hoping that I could still catch it on theater this week before it's gone. I wish somebody can accompany me to watch it (in case I passed out or something from my illness), but I'm the only person who likes horror movies in my circles of friends and families. I always watch them alone. 🥲
I feel the same but the last movie I saw that kinda got under my skin was The exorcism of Emily Rose. I think because I believe that someone could get possessed. That there is good & evil.
At the beginning of Malignant I took a wild guess and said “does she have a face on the back of her head like in that guy in the first Harry Potter?” My boyfriend was like “are you sure you haven’t seen this movie?” I really thought he was just joking until we got to the end of the movie 😂
I can’t tell if Jacob’s Ladder is famous or underrated but it has an iconic scene that’s been parodied in pop culture. A baby crawling on the wall and twisting it’s head
My mom showed Psycho to my little sister and I about a year ago. It was awesome and such a good movie. And the twist ending is just so good. It’s executed SO WELL, the acting of everyone is insanely good and just puts the whole movie into a completely different light
Sinister had a great twist in that Ethan Hawke's character moves his family away from the house where all the craziness was happening, only to find that moving to a new house ensured that his family would be killed.
I would also mention the very last 30 seconds May(2002) when Amy reaches across to hug May. I don't know why, but that one got me good! My heart skipped a beat!!
To this day I have no idea why "Malcolm is a ghost" in the 6th sense is a considered a twist. We see him die in the opening shot (haha, shot), and then we see him again, talking only to the kid who can talk to ghosts? It's too much on the nose, there is no way it could've been a twist. The entire movie I knew he was a ghost, but didn't really care for it, or plot in general, because I was only in it for the scares (I was about 10 at the time)
I would’ve added Richie’s Family on this list from Scream 6. The first Scream started it all with two killers, it continued that trope in Scream 2, in Scream 3- there was only one killer, in Scream 4 -it went back to two killers, same in Scream 5 with new characters and in Scream 6, something we didn’t see coming
I am kinda proud that I've seen 45/50 of these movies (including the originals and remakes). 😊❤ Horror movie with twists is my most favorite genre. ❤❤❤❤❤ From this list, the only movies I haven't seen are The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, April Fool's Day, Angel Heart, Carnival of Souls, and What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? 😊❤
During the crazy pandemic, I watched the entire franchise of Final Destination. That ending in the last one blew my mind away. Child’s Play franchise -didn’t like it (please, don’t ask why) Insidious franchise -great (although I didn’t watch two of them) Paranormal Activity franchise -First 3 are Classic but the other 4 didn’t measure up The Conjuring franchise -a horror masterpiece Scream franchise -Fan favorite Annabelle franchise -Scary as heck Final Destination -Gory but creative The Doll -Didn’t understand the language on Netflix but it was pretty good
Sounds like you had quite the horror marathon! 😱📽️ The Final Destination endings are definitely a wild ride. I get why the Child’s Play series might not be for everyone-what didn’t you like about it?
@@WatchMojo For starters, wow. Just wow. Out of all the UA-cam people, a famous popular video that I’ve seen since I was a kid would give me such the question. It all started when I had my personal thing and had a nightmare about it. When I saw a student bring it in at Village Glenn, I screamed. My curiosity got the better of me and I hated it. So much. Thing is, I’m just not a fan. I’m not a fan at all. Never will be. It’s a major regret. I only love Brad Douriff in The Lord of the Rings movies. You have my answer. Also, it was too scary for me. Way too scary for me
It’s been years since I’ve seen You’re Next on Netflix. Not only scary and a great performance by it’s main lead but that reveal. I was like “no, no way.”
I think American Psycho’s ending is up to interpretation. Did it happen in Bateman’s head or did he actually kill those people but since it’s Wall Street, basically the ultimate haven of vapidness and corporate greed, no one else cared? Bateman is so irrelevant to his colleagues because he dresses and acts like hundreds of them that they forget his name, don’t know they’re talking to him, and even insult him in front of his face, such as when he’s having dinner with Paul Allen or he’s speaking to his lawyer. Bateman to them is so forgettable that they hardly bat an eye when he commits murder.
I’m just a Scream fan and my BFF Jessica loves horror. She’s watched a lot but I do remember her seeing Annabelle Creation and Barbarian in theaters with my grandma
When Jordan Peele became the new horror director in 2017, he’s now infamous just like Wes Craven, William Friedkin, Sam Raimi and Stephen King. Although, unlike the horror directors, Jordan Peele also lent his voice to animated movies
Everyone can call me crazy but I call Monster House the first horror movie I ever saw. Like a traditional horror movie, it has a scary elements, comedy, a backstory, ghosts and the villain dying
I know it wasn't everyone's cup of tea, but I loved the twist in Bodies Bodies Bodies. It was simple but affective and it made me actually laugh. I showed my friend and he was pissed 😆
2 movies im surprised didn't make on this list. 13 ghost, the protagonist was a ghost The Dark Half (Based on Stephen King book of the same name), the killer was literally in the guys mind
They should have never continued it after the first movie unless it was going to be a crime drama researching the whole Freddy and neighborhood people. Not a horror movie extension.
I was saddened to find that Frailty wasn't on this list. It has a couple of great twists. And it's one of the most underated horror movies of all time.
One of the most amazing plot twist endings I’ve seen is The Uninvited (2009). I REALLY recommend it as well. It is one of the few ONLY adaptions of an Asian horror movie that I’ve ever approved. It is amazing and beautiful and 50% different in story so I appreciate it so much.
Can someone post the full list? I'm assuming I haven't seen a lot of these and I don't want spoilers lol. Would like to watch some of them before Halloween!
From the list I’ve only seen The Orphanage, Angel Heart, The Descent, Sleepy Hollow, You’re Next, Insidious, 10 Cloverfield Lane, Fallen, Drag Me To Hell, Life, American Psycho, Jacob’s Ladder, The Invisible Man, The Cabin In The Woods, The Visit, The Ring, Get Out, Identity, The Wicker Man, The Others, The Mist, Scream, The Sixth Sense and Psycho.
From this list, the only movies I haven't seen are The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, April Fool's Day, Angel Heart, Carnival of Souls, and What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? 😊❤
Insidious scared the pants off of me in a good way. Although I didn’t see the rest of the franchise. I’ve only seen the first one, the second one, the third one and the final one
Regarding "Barbarian"; When Tess accidentally traps herself in the basement while Keith is out running errands, she discovers a mechanism that opens a hidden doorway, she finds a small room with a filthy bed, a camera on a tripod, a bucket and a bloody palm print on the wall. Obviously a torture-porn room. When Keith returns, and let's her out the basement, she tells him about the torture-porn room. If that was you in said situation, what would be your next move? Me? I'd GTFO and immediately call law enforcement and tell them to come look at the torture-porn room! Keith, however, is all "What? Imma go down there and look!" ...Why? Then there's Tess, who agrees to wait upstairs for him. How about calling law enforcement while waiting upstairs? Nah. She goes down there to check on him. WHY! At least dial 911 and report the torture-porn room first! If Keith is the torture-porn dude, then the cops would be enroute to save you. And if something bad has happened to Keith, what are you gonna be able to do about it?! Call 911!! Nobody calls 911! Even the homeless dude hanging out outside, who knows about the feral "Mother", doesn't do the 911 either! What started off as a compelling horror movie took a nosedive when the characters started doing shit that NOBODY would EVER do!
A great horror movie plot twist is also in Ghosts of War 2020 staring Brenton Thwaites and Alan Ritchson. I could watch that movie over and over and it's still a shock to watch.
You got the twist in The Mist wrong: it is David's sacrifice that makes the mist lift - this is referenced in the film by Mrs. Carmody when she says that they need to kill Billy and Amanda. At the very end, just after they've both been killed, the mist dissipates and the army rolls through.
That's up to your interpretation of the movie. I personally don't buy this explanation. Ms Carmady was batshit crazy religious zealot. The movie follows the book almost perfectly with some minor exceptions. The biggest being the ending. The last scene of the movie never happened in the book. The mist never lifted and the father never shot anyone in the car. No army fighting back the mist. They just keep driving in the mist trying to figure out their next move. The book ended bleak and opened ended.
@@edwardbickford8277...bleak? I thought that "one is Hartford, the other is hope" line made the ending cautiously optimistic. The Mrs Nutbag theory falls apart to me because it's so immediate. 2 minutes after he commits the sacrifice the army is in full swing and they just happen to be right behind him? Nah. The army was already there. I always saw it more as he lost hope too soon. Jumped the gun so to speak. That could just be my brain refusing to let go of the Hartford/hope line though.
@@edwardbickford8277 Exactly this. Carmandy made a couple general guesses and connections and because they loosely tied together, others took her seriously due to the sheer absurdity of the situation. That's a running theme in apocalypse-y films and even in real life tragedy such as the Salem Witch Trials, where simple issues were chalked up to weird, made up shit.
The Rosemary's Baby house would later become John Lennon's house. He had other houses in other countries, just so he'd have a place to stay when he's in those countries, but the Dakota was his main "home" house in the 70s. It had been an entire apartment building, but he bought or leased half or a third of it, and knocked down walls to make one big house out of it. It's where he died. That was the Rosemary's Baby building.
I continue to feel creativity in horror is dead. It's generally always predictable as long as you can think of how it can end depressingly or badly in any way. Im waiting for a horror with both a twist and a happy ending. That's rare.
My favorite modern twist would be the one from No Escape (2020) Spoilers: It has a similar twist to April fool's day, where we found out everything was staged but I found this one to be more shocked. Because the main character didn't just believe his friends and girlfriend were being murdered, he believed he was watching them being tortured by a Russian psychopath for the dark web. Then at the end when it's revealed it was staged, it also ended with him actually murdering the one he thought was the killer, only to find out he was in on it too. So at the end, the only real killer is him
I think that you should have put Rose being in on it the whole time in Get Out. To me, as someone who actually hasn't seen it, am more intrigued now simply BECAUSE she turned out to be a double crosser. And of course, she was disposed of because who doesn't like a good righteous revenge justice??
Yeah, it's not a great movie, but the plot twist was great and shocking. It should be here instead of that Nightmare On Elm Street in the thumbnail, IMO.

😢😢😢
The Orphan twist is still the best I've seen to date. My jaw was dropping to the floor for such a long time.
I will forever say that the most terrifying thing about Orphan is Isabelle Furman’s acting.
And then the case of Gypsy Rose happened..😢💔
@@serenapenner3581 What does that have anything to do with this movie…? Gypsy was a girl who was horrifically abused by her mother, not a psychotic 33 year old woman posing as a child.

I guess if it's true he only had to kill his son and the three adults could have lived.@@ArgenYargen

I like ‘Happy Death Day.’
It was like ‘Groundhog Day’ meets ‘Scream.’
Yeah just too bad the sequel was so bad they canceled the plans to make the third movie
@@Anti-Santa86Yeah, I feel like the audience was better off not knowing what caused the time loop.

It’s not really a twist, but I always loved the chest burst in Alien, where it’s revealed a xenomorph was inside
I think better yet was reveal that The Company has sent the entire crew to die, and even sent android with them to ensure their fate was sealed.
I would definitely call that a twist! They put the alien from Life coming to earth at the very end in the list, why not Alien?

Shutter (Thai: ชัตเตอร์ กดติดวิญญาณ Chattoe: Kot Tit Winyan, "Shutter: Press to Capture Ghosts")[2] is a 2004 Thai supernatural horror film by Banjong Pisanthanakun and Parkpoom Wongpoom; starring Ananda Everingham, Natthaweeranuch Thongmee, and Achita Sikamana. It focuses on mysterious images seen in developed pictures. The film was a box office success.
I am surprised, too! It's one heck of a plot twist.
My favorite plot twists are the ones where the protagonist comes out fighting and really sticks it to the killers like I Spit on Your Grave, Last House on the Left, also You're Next...the revelation that the main gal could take care of herself and being a survivalist, that's just epic!
On the other hand, in Don't Breathe, the blind man becoming the villain and when the wife is "rescued" by the family of the killers in Eden Lake-brilliant, although the winner ultimately is the evil but you can't deny the good twist even if it is at the end.
Perhaps, you should make another list! 😊
When jigsaw got up off the floor & said game over it was epic 😮😅
my favourite part of all the saw movies😂
I always felt like Drag Me To Hell needed a sequel, so I'm hyped that a sequel was announced 😂😂😂
Even if she can’t come back to life, I really hope Christine and the boy at the beginning of the film can be set free to heaven. Or if the sequel never comes about, I try best to convince myself that the 3 day torment and deaths were real, but god either intervenes & takes them to heaven and the ganush bloodline are the real doomed ones. Either way, humans possessing the powers to invoke such curses and doing so over slights is downright terrifying. It wasn’t about the denial of the extension, it was about pride and pride is a worse sin than greed
I completely agree...I also like the idea of maybe bringing back Justin Long as the character who goes on a hunt for a way to release the damned from Hell and there's a big battle between good and evil. It's cliche, I know, but I think that if my boyfriend went to Hell by simply doing his job, I'd want to get justice too.
Technically, that's what happened. You can't blame someone really for needing to make a living.
Awesome list love all things horror great job WatchMojo 👏🙌 🖤
The end to identity was so good. I definitely didn't expect that to happen. Couldn't imagine having all those personalities
Maybe not among the best of the best but certainly the best if the horror camp movies, Sleepaway Camp where the little girl is the murderer but wait, the little girl is really a little boy. You certainly have nailed the best twists in horror, indisputably. As far as twists in general goes, one that has stayed with me was the Michael Douglas film, The Gift where it was all a birthday gift for the man who has everything. I never saw that one coming and I’m pretty good at figuring out the plot finales. Can’t wait for the next movie to hit the big screen with another plot twist no one guessed.
michael douglas film? the game?
God i hated that ending tho lol kinda ruined movie for me
10 Cloverfield Lane isn’t the first horror film to invoke the “Right Crazy Guy” trope, nor will it be the last.
Next year, Alfred Hitchcock’s ‘Psycho’ will be turning 65.
Best sequel to physco is dr dream!!!!!
Dead Silence was one of those movies that deserved a sequel
There was gonna be a string of sequels, but because the studio didn't make enough money off of it, they shelved it
@@KoldBreezeI know which that is disappointing
If you don't mind watching a film with subtitles, and have patience, "A Tale of Two Sisters" is a true masterpiece. It starts out slow, and may seem quite confusing to some, but there are tons of little hints, a double twist, stellar performances, and gorgeous cinematography.
I completely agree. It's a bit slow, but the final act dropped my jaw to the floor.
The Uninvited (2009) is the US adaption. I REALLY recommend it as well. It is one of the ONLY adaptions of an Asian movie I’ve ever approved. It is amazing and beautiful and 50% different in story so I appreciate it so much.

Usually all I ever see about this movie is people talking about how terrible it is and how inferior it is to the original. I personally love this movie. I thought it had a great twist. I actually have never seen and likely never will. I don't care for foreign films because I can't follow the subtitles and still keep up with what it is happening in the movie
The Shrine had a good twist! A group of tourists come across a cult that makes sacrifices to a shrine. But it turns out those who look or touch the shrine become possessed and the “cult” are just the villagers trying to prevent more demonic possessions!
That was such a good film. The way they cure the curse was freaky as all hell.
The irony of the killer saying “I’ll be right back” in Scream 😂👏🏻
Here's another spoiler: Matthew Lillard plays William Afton, the villain in Five Nights at Freddy's and in the games, he says, "I always come back!"
And Matthew said it IN THE MOVIE. Like, complete coolness right there!!!
My favorite one has to be black christmas 🤘. That final phone call and the zoom out of the house is perfection. Also margot kidder is something special 🤘💙
The Visit plot twist is the best i've ever seen
When a Stranger Calls and the sequel were both amazing.
In Jacobs ladder it was the acid trip he took at the start of the film. He says before he takes it, it can make him hallucinate 7 different trips! He does die in it. Great film. With lots of different twists in it.
The ending of "The Mist" really a heartbreaking moment. I remembered the first time I've watched it, I'm so pissed and broken. HAHA
That pissed me off so badly 😂just the whole movie
There is actually a fairly convincing theory that the mist wasn't broken up by the military, but by him shooting the kid. The same way that the crazy cultist lady at the mall said.
It was so good that even Stephen King said it was the better ending.
It was a great twist ending that exemplifies what Horror should be. King's original ending was much more open-ended. I'd say the movie ending had a much more powerful reaction, that as @christopherdavidson17 mentions, got a nod from King himself.
@@Sc-ky2ik...I still love that line out of the original ending though...the one about Hartford and hope. Almost as good as the first line of the first tower book.
😱 Loved the plot twists, some really gave me chills! 🍿
That thumbnail is wild🤣🤣🤣🤣
The Others is one of my absolute favorites. I love the idea of ghosts haunting humans bc ghosts are being haunted by humans. Then Insidious 2 tying back into the events of Insidious 1 (the doorbell ringing but no one was there) was the coolest mindblown moment of my life
I watched 10 Cloverfield Lane with my mom and sister for the first time a couple of years ago. I was very weirded out by I honestly thought that what he was saying was right. It was just so absurd and disturbing that it didn’t seem like he could’ve made it up. So when she finally gets outside and realizes he was right I wasn’t completely shocked
Norman bursting into the room dressed as Norma still gives me the absolute creeps.
Saw should be #1. Best and most shocking horror twist I have seen.
It was pretty fantastic
🏆🥇
@@BlackHatCinephile no one asked for your pointless medals
Happy Death Day isn’t the only time loop horror movie, Haunter is as well.
I watched Haunter on Netflix years ago as well. The reveal is disturbing but it’s pretty good. I recommend it
I watched so many horrifying movies I came to a point were am incapable of getting scared.
I'm pretty much the same because everything extends itself out into 5 predictable plots. Are there any from the past 5 years you would recommend?
I’ll send you my Comcast bill.😱
The last movies that got me scared, weirdly, was It Follows. I fell asleep in the middle of the movies and dreamed the ghost is following me everywhere. 😅
The first Terrifier movie also quite awesome, I hope they make another sequel. I like that villain, he's really scary IMO. ❤
@@Seashelle564
I want to see Longlegs (in theater in my town right now). People said it's quite scary. Unfortunately I am bedridden sick since last week. 🥲 I avoid reading/watching the spoilers, hoping that I could still catch it on theater this week before it's gone. I wish somebody can accompany me to watch it (in case I passed out or something from my illness), but I'm the only person who likes horror movies in my circles of friends and families. I always watch them alone. 🥲
I feel the same but the last movie I saw that kinda got under my skin was The exorcism of Emily Rose. I think because I believe that someone could get possessed. That there is good & evil.
"Goodnight Mommy" owes its plot to "The Other" by Thomas Tryon. There's also an American version of "Goodnight Mommy".
At the beginning of Malignant I took a wild guess and said “does she have a face on the back of her head like in that guy in the first Harry Potter?” My boyfriend was like “are you sure you haven’t seen this movie?” I really thought he was just joking until we got to the end of the movie 😂
Love the thumbnail, looking forward to the video watchmojo. 💪
I can’t tell if Jacob’s Ladder is famous or underrated but it has an iconic scene that’s been parodied in pop culture. A baby crawling on the wall and twisting it’s head
That thumb nail looks like she’s taking advantage of Freddy. 😅😂
I know….SHE kinda looks like the bad guy there….😂😂😅😅
My mom showed Psycho to my little sister and I about a year ago. It was awesome and such a good movie. And the twist ending is just so good. It’s executed SO WELL, the acting of everyone is insanely good and just puts the whole movie into a completely different light
I find your voice to be the easiest to listen to. When I click on a WatchMojo video and hear your voice, it makes my day.
Sinister had a great twist in that Ethan Hawke's character moves his family away from the house where all the craziness was happening, only to find that moving to a new house ensured that his family would be killed.
Angel Heart is one of my favorite movies. Extremely underrated.
It was the first movie I saw in a theater where no one left during the credits because we wanted to see where that elevator stopped.
I think the bigger twist is that the dude unknowingly ‘hooked up’ with his own daughter 🤮
I would also mention the very last 30 seconds May(2002) when Amy reaches across to hug May. I don't know why, but that one got me good! My heart skipped a beat!!
The scream at the beginning gets me every time. I even know it’s coming and the exact moment and it still will shock me
To this day I have no idea why "Malcolm is a ghost" in the 6th sense is a considered a twist.
We see him die in the opening shot (haha, shot), and then we see him again, talking only to the kid who can talk to ghosts? It's too much on the nose, there is no way it could've been a twist.
The entire movie I knew he was a ghost, but didn't really care for it, or plot in general, because I was only in it for the scares (I was about 10 at the time)
So glad to see Identity getting some love. The first time I saw this it blew me away
I would’ve added Richie’s Family on this list from Scream 6.
The first Scream started it all with two killers, it continued that trope in Scream 2, in Scream 3- there was only one killer, in Scream 4 -it went back to two killers, same in Scream 5 with new characters and in Scream 6, something we didn’t see coming
I am kinda proud that I've seen 45/50 of these movies (including the originals and remakes). 😊❤ Horror movie with twists is my most favorite genre. ❤❤❤❤❤
From this list, the only movies I haven't seen are The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, April Fool's Day, Angel Heart, Carnival of Souls, and What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? 😊❤
The Lazarus effect was a hidden gem plus Evan Peters 😊
During the crazy pandemic, I watched the entire franchise of Final Destination. That ending in the last one blew my mind away.
Child’s Play franchise -didn’t like it (please, don’t ask why)
Insidious franchise -great (although I didn’t watch two of them)
Paranormal Activity franchise -First 3 are Classic but the other 4 didn’t measure up
The Conjuring franchise -a horror masterpiece
Scream franchise -Fan favorite
Annabelle franchise -Scary as heck
Final Destination -Gory but creative
The Doll -Didn’t understand the language on Netflix but it was pretty good
Sounds like you had quite the horror marathon! 😱📽️ The Final Destination endings are definitely a wild ride. I get why the Child’s Play series might not be for everyone-what didn’t you like about it?
@@WatchMojo For starters, wow. Just wow. Out of all the UA-cam people, a famous popular video that I’ve seen since I was a kid would give me such the question.
It all started when I had my personal thing and had a nightmare about it. When I saw a student bring it in at Village Glenn, I screamed. My curiosity got the better of me and I hated it. So much. Thing is, I’m just not a fan. I’m not a fan at all. Never will be. It’s a major regret. I only love Brad Douriff in The Lord of the Rings movies. You have my answer.
Also, it was too scary for me. Way too scary for me
Oh, oh, oh! Maglinant shocked me to the core and my jaw was on the floor. I couldn’t believe my eyes
The twist was wild, right? Do you think it’s one of the most surprising horror movies you’ve ever seen?
@@WatchMojo OhMyGod, yes!
It’s been years since I’ve seen You’re Next on Netflix. Not only scary and a great performance by it’s main lead but that reveal. I was like “no, no way.”
I think American Psycho’s ending is up to interpretation. Did it happen in Bateman’s head or did he actually kill those people but since it’s Wall Street, basically the ultimate haven of vapidness and corporate greed, no one else cared? Bateman is so irrelevant to his colleagues because he dresses and acts like hundreds of them that they forget his name, don’t know they’re talking to him, and even insult him in front of his face, such as when he’s having dinner with Paul Allen or he’s speaking to his lawyer. Bateman to them is so forgettable that they hardly bat an eye when he commits murder.
How did the plot twist of Sleepaway Camp not make this list??
I’m just a Scream fan and my BFF Jessica loves horror. She’s watched a lot but I do remember her seeing Annabelle Creation and Barbarian in theaters with my grandma
When Jordan Peele became the new horror director in 2017, he’s now infamous just like Wes Craven, William Friedkin, Sam Raimi and Stephen King. Although, unlike the horror directors, Jordan Peele also lent his voice to animated movies
Great choices on this list.
Everyone who loves great and shocking twists should also watch "Eden Lake", "Salvage", "Don't breathe" and "Ghostland".
Everyone can call me crazy but I call Monster House the first horror movie I ever saw. Like a traditional horror movie, it has a scary elements, comedy, a backstory, ghosts and the villain dying
I know it wasn't everyone's cup of tea, but I loved the twist in Bodies Bodies Bodies. It was simple but affective and it made me actually laugh. I showed my friend and he was pissed 😆
I almost cried I laughed so hard, but in a good way 😂
I can fully believe something like that would happen.
2 movies im surprised didn't make on this list.
13 ghost, the protagonist was a ghost
The Dark Half (Based on Stephen King book of the same name), the killer was literally in the guys mind
I saw Longlegs last weekend and that movie is still living in my head. Won't spoil but daaaamn I was not ready for that.
love these videos
1996’s ‘Scream’ = My number one favorite among the franchise.
What about The Haunting in Connecticut when the ghost was trying to protect them.
That movie has always been a favourite of mine, it should've been here 😢
The thumbnail of including Freddy’s Dead is cap. Like does anyone considered the plot twist good? No, no one considered it
They should have never continued it after the first movie unless it was going to be a crime drama researching the whole Freddy and neighborhood people. Not a horror movie extension.
Think it would have been a great twist if the film itself had been good instead of an absolute trainwreck.
Freddy? As in Fred? As in Fred Rogers? As in Mr. Rogers? I knew it!
What's so amazing about the Saw twist is that even if you are familiar with the later movies, it still completely surprises people
I was saddened to find that Frailty wasn't on this list. It has a couple of great twists. And it's one of the most underated horror movies of all time.
One of the most amazing plot twist endings I’ve seen is The Uninvited (2009). I REALLY recommend it as well. It is one of the few ONLY adaptions of an Asian horror movie that I’ve ever approved. It is amazing and beautiful and 50% different in story so I appreciate it so much.
I agree. love that movie.
One of the best twist i have ever seen is in Los sin nombre (the nameless) from Jaume Balaguero.
My favorite part is when the "watch mojo" covers the subtitles...
Can someone post the full list? I'm assuming I haven't seen a lot of these and I don't want spoilers lol. Would like to watch some of them before Halloween!
Best inspring quote Freddy Kruger ever said was "Never Stop Dreaming"
"When Life came out in 2017, it didn't necessarily receive rave reviews" Yeah life sucks 😂
Cant believe Hide And Seek didn't make the list!
From the list I’ve only seen The Orphanage, Angel Heart, The Descent, Sleepy Hollow, You’re Next, Insidious, 10 Cloverfield Lane, Fallen, Drag Me To Hell, Life, American Psycho, Jacob’s Ladder, The Invisible Man, The Cabin In The Woods, The Visit, The Ring, Get Out, Identity, The Wicker Man, The Others, The Mist, Scream, The Sixth Sense and Psycho.
From this list, the only movies I haven't seen are The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, April Fool's Day, Angel Heart, Carnival of Souls, and What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? 😊❤
Insidious scared the pants off of me in a good way. Although I didn’t see the rest of the franchise. I’ve only seen the first one, the second one, the third one and the final one
Regarding "Barbarian"; When Tess accidentally traps herself in the basement while Keith is out running errands, she discovers a mechanism that opens a hidden doorway, she finds a small room with a filthy bed, a camera on a tripod, a bucket and a bloody palm print on the wall. Obviously a torture-porn room.
When Keith returns, and let's her out the basement, she tells him about the torture-porn room.
If that was you in said situation, what would be your next move?
Me? I'd GTFO and immediately call law enforcement and tell them to come look at the torture-porn room!
Keith, however, is all "What? Imma go down there and look!"
...Why?
Then there's Tess, who agrees to wait upstairs for him. How about calling law enforcement while waiting upstairs?
Nah. She goes down there to check on him.
WHY! At least dial 911 and report the torture-porn room first! If Keith is the torture-porn dude, then the cops would be enroute to save you. And if something bad has happened to Keith, what are you gonna be able to do about it?! Call 911!!
Nobody calls 911! Even the homeless dude hanging out outside, who knows about the feral "Mother", doesn't do the 911 either!
What started off as a compelling horror movie took a nosedive when the characters started doing shit that NOBODY would EVER do!
When a stranger calls’ plot twist caught me OFF GUARD💀
The real twist in "You're Next" is the girlfriend being a badass. The only thing I liked about the movie.
A great horror movie plot twist is also in Ghosts of War 2020 staring Brenton Thwaites and Alan Ritchson. I could watch that movie over and over and it's still a shock to watch.
You got the twist in The Mist wrong: it is David's sacrifice that makes the mist lift - this is referenced in the film by Mrs. Carmody when she says that they need to kill Billy and Amanda. At the very end, just after they've both been killed, the mist dissipates and the army rolls through.
That's a very interesting theory. Was that plotline in the novella too, I can't remember.
That's up to your interpretation of the movie.
I personally don't buy this explanation. Ms Carmady was batshit crazy religious zealot.
The movie follows the book almost perfectly with some minor exceptions. The biggest being the ending.
The last scene of the movie never happened in the book.
The mist never lifted and the father never shot anyone in the car. No army fighting back the mist. They just keep driving in the mist trying to figure out their next move.
The book ended bleak and opened ended.
@@edwardbickford8277...bleak? I thought that "one is Hartford, the other is hope" line made the ending cautiously optimistic.
The Mrs Nutbag theory falls apart to me because it's so immediate. 2 minutes after he commits the sacrifice the army is in full swing and they just happen to be right behind him? Nah. The army was already there. I always saw it more as he lost hope too soon. Jumped the gun so to speak. That could just be my brain refusing to let go of the Hartford/hope line though.
@@edwardbickford8277 Exactly this. Carmandy made a couple general guesses and connections and because they loosely tied together, others took her seriously due to the sheer absurdity of the situation. That's a running theme in apocalypse-y films and even in real life tragedy such as the Salem Witch Trials, where simple issues were chalked up to weird, made up shit.
The Rosemary's Baby house would later become John Lennon's house. He had other houses in other countries, just so he'd have a place to stay when he's in those countries, but the Dakota was his main "home" house in the 70s. It had been an entire apartment building, but he bought or leased half or a third of it, and knocked down walls to make one big house out of it. It's where he died. That was the Rosemary's Baby building.
Another trippy piece of FD5 was how the guy in the bar is crushed by a piece of the plane falling.
Freddy in that thumbnail: "Im a good Christian boy! What are you doing?!"
“Oh no step sister, what are you doing?!”
I continue to feel creativity in horror is dead. It's generally always predictable as long as you can think of how it can end depressingly or badly in any way. Im waiting for a horror with both a twist and a happy ending. That's rare.
Like it or not but the ending of "Unknown User" really surprised me
I was very surprised to find that Shutter Island wasn't on the list. One heck of a twist at the end.
My favorite modern twist would be the one from No Escape (2020)
Spoilers: It has a similar twist to April fool's day, where we found out everything was staged but I found this one to be more shocked. Because the main character didn't just believe his friends and girlfriend were being murdered, he believed he was watching them being tortured by a Russian psychopath for the dark web. Then at the end when it's revealed it was staged, it also ended with him actually murdering the one he thought was the killer, only to find out he was in on it too. So at the end, the only real killer is him
I think that you should have put Rose being in on it the whole time in Get Out. To me, as someone who actually hasn't seen it, am more intrigued now simply BECAUSE she turned out to be a double crosser. And of course, she was disposed of because who doesn't like a good righteous revenge justice??
Where is "Sleepaway Camp"?
Yeah, it's not a great movie, but the plot twist was great and shocking. It should be here instead of that Nightmare On Elm Street in the thumbnail, IMO.
Yes. the movie scarred me as a kid. I saw it when I was 9 years old.
