plot twists in thriller movies
conventions – gosh alright you tell me
your coming wrath before we begin we
publish new content every day so be sure
to subscribe to our Channel and ring the
bell to get notified about our latest
videos for this list we’re looking at
plot twists in thrillers that made its
film much darker and even more
discouraging than it was before
goes without saying but this is going to
be pretty much nothing but spoilers need
I think I did number 10 Leonard killed
his wife memento throughout Christopher
Nolan’s memento amnesiac Leonard Shelby
leaves himself an intricate series of
notes that will hopefully lead him to
the man who raped and murdered his wife
don’t believe his lies he is the one I
finally found him
we also learned of a fellow amnesiac
named Sammy Jenkins who accidentally
killed his wife by giving her too many
insulin injections however at the end of
the movie we witness Leonard being told
that he’s the real Sammy and that he’s
the one who killed his wife I took that
picture just when he did according to
Teddy he repressed these memories out of
guilt his mission is fake and impossible
to fulfill Leonard is essentially an
amnesiac serial killer being used by
Teddy terrifying right still there
number nine jigsaw was in the room the
whole time saw the opening minutes of
two men wake up chained to a dilapidated
industrial bathroom with a bloody corpse
lying between them fun stuff we also
learned that the jigsaw killer likes to
watch his victims and while we know deep
down that Zeff wasn’t jigsaw we
certainly weren’t expecting the corpse
to be at the end of the movie the corpse
arises from the floor and reveals
himself to be jigsaw right before
locking Adam in the bathroom it’s a
massive shock that reinforces the true
depravity and psychopathic methods of
jigsaw while the Saw movies would
decrease in quality that final game over
is legendary stuff most people are so
number eight Malcolm was dead the whole
time The Sixth Sense at the beginning of
the movie child psychologist Malcolm
Crowe is shot by a psychotic former
patient since it appears as if he’s
recovered our minds are shattered when
it’s revealed that he has been dead the
whole time it’s certainly a dark
realization to find that the protagonist
is a ghost but it’s still an ultimately
happy ending when Crowe is sent to
heaven after rectifying his failures
two years later the others would provide
another brilliant ghost centric twist by
revealing that the family are the actual
ghosts haunting the house both movies
successfully flipped the conventional
ghost story on its head and provided
some of the greatest twists in the
horror genre can you see number seven
teddy / Andrew killed his wife shutter
island’ movies love to utilize the
protagonist actually killed their wife
twist don’t they throughout shutter
island’ we watch as a US Marshal Teddy
Daniels investigates the disappearance
of a mental patient what’s in there more
patients but when Teddy enters the
lighthouse everything changes we learned
that teddy is actually Andrew latest an
institutionalized man who killed his
wife after she murdered their children
your wife drowned them at the cabin by
the lake and here the little girl the
one you dream of every night saved as if
filicide and ixora side weren’t dark
enough we also learned that the girl
latest dreams about is his murdered
daughter proving that his mind has been
irreparably damaged and racked with
guilt furthermore latest becomes aware
and conscious enough to plan for his own
lobotomy shutter island’ is a bleak
experience start to finish which would
be worse don’t live is a monster what a
die is a good man number six
Norman is mother slashed the killer
psycho
[Music]
psycho has perhaps one of the greatest
twists in cinematic history throughout
the movie we believe that Norman Bates
is nothing but a repressed a man-child
who protects his domineering psychotic
mother well a boy’s best friend is his
mother
however the famous ending reveals that
his mother is long dead and that Norman
is the true psychopath after killing his
mother and her boyfriend out of jealousy
he took on the persona of his mother to
alleviate his loneliness and guilt and
he uses this persona to murder those he
feels attracted to the twist made Norman
one of cinema’s most iconic villains and
left 60s audiences with the fear that
danger could be lurking anywhere and
behind any facade Betsy Betsy and they
don’t know and there say she wouldn’t
even number five head in a box
seven sevens twists may not be as iconic
as psychos but it’s arguably more
depraved after John Doe turns himself in
and takes the two detectives to the
final murder location a delivery man
brings them a mysterious box seems that
envy is myself after a few incredibly
tense minutes we learned that the box
contains the head of David’s pregnant
wife representing the killers Envy so
her pretty head David then becomes wrath
by shooting doe in an act of uninhibited
rage John Doe wins David goes insane and
Somerset can only look on in defeat all
the movie is absurdly dark this final
twist somehow ratchets the depravity
2:11 reinforcing the idea that humanity
is inherently flawed she begged for her
life detective she begged for her life
shut up and for the life of the baby
inside of her number four Amy framed her
husband gone girl however gonna be that
couple gone girl isn’t your
grandmother’s murder mystery the first
half of the movie plays out like a
typical crime drama as Nick Dunne
searches for his missing wife and is
falsely accused of her murder
however the movie does a complete 180
halfway through when it reveals that a
jealous Amy intricately framed her
husband after learning of his affair
Nick and Amy will be gone but then we
never really existed the twist not only
works incredibly well as dramatic story
development but it also strengthens the
movies morose themes regarding
manipulation and abusive relationships
gone girl goes from a relatively
conventional murder mystery to a
haunting first-hand account of a cunning
sociopath and you know what that’s even
scarier so Nick how does it feel to have
that’s fantastic
number three Soylent Green is people
Soylent Green like Norman Bates being
mother the fact that Soylent Green is
made from people is not a surprise to
modern audiences but that doesn’t make
it any less impactful in this dystopian
society a green wafer called Soylent
Green is created said to be a highly
nutritious food source created from
plankton
however we later learned that Soylent
Green is actually made from human
remains as humans are a great source of
protein for a starving Society it’s a
horrifying reveal but it also fits
perfectly with the movie’s themes of
overpopulation resource management and
climate control it’s a much-needed slap
in the face that remains relevant and
disturbingly prophetic nearly half a
who could have ever imagined number two
apes have taken over the world planet of
the apes that bright eyes is remarkable
he keeps trying to form words you know
what they say human see human do well
Planet of the Apes is a long-running
franchise nothing beats the originals
twist after landing on a planet ruled by
sentient talking apes Taylor escapes
from their grasp
only to come upon a half-buried Statue
of Liberty he discovers that he was on
earth all along and that modern humanity
had wiped itself out in some kind of
nuclear war
all the time finally really did it it’s
not only a devastating ending that caps
the story in theatrical fashion but also
a diss main comment on the Cold War and
the possible future of humanity it’s not
as dramatically relevant as it once was
but it’s still a distressing ending that
captures the fears of its time before we
unveil our topic here are a few
honorable mentions I’ll control the
motor functions so I’ll be me you me me
it’s kind of peaceful a guy a fight
[Music]
number one oh dae-su and his daughter
old boy murder and nuclear war may be
scary topics but nothing feels worse
than learning that the protagonist
copulated with his own daughter the
movie opens with dae-su being kidnapped
and imprisoned for 15 years after
escaping and embarking on a campaign of
revenge he befriends a young chef named
Mito and the two become intimate however
it’s later revealed that dae-su was
hypnotized into falling for Mito who is
revealed to be his now adult daughter
it’s equal parts shocking and horrifying
eliciting a visceral bodily reaction of
revulsion for most viewers
