The

twists

don't end there, as Voodoo has been orchestrating a child kidnapping ring for years as a means of revenge. Believe us, we couldn't make this up. Number 19. Adelaide is the original red. American appearances can be deceiving, especially when there are dozens of doubles dressed in red jumpsuits slaughtering their doubles. Fortunately for the Wilson family, they are able to fight back and successfully kill their counterparts while the rest of the world burns and holds hands that cannot. I hurt you, you understand that it is only when they are out of danger that the Wilson matriarch, Adelaide, discovers a long-repressed memory.

It turns out that her childhood encounter with her red double didn't end the way she thought it was with the red leaving Adelaide underground to take over her life, which means the Adelaide we've been following all this time doesn't. is the original, this recontextualizes everything we've seen and adds another layer to an 18th film that is already somatically rich, a cult is behind everything hereditary, there have been many horrors.

movie

s that deal with potential madness, but never one as effective as hereditary, as he notices some strange happenings and he begins to suspect that he has a leveled, supernatural element at play, only the safer she becomes, the crazier she seems to him. as mental illness runs through her. family, what are you doing? poor, right?

It turns out that the only thing affecting his family is an affinity for demonic cults, as one led by his late mother orchestrated the seemingly accidental death of her daughter as a means of transferring the demon within her to her son's body. Peyman one of the eight kings of hell yes, this is a screwed clan and even more so now that his plan worked thanks for the nightmares everyone number 17 The maid's husband is in the basement parasite is already halfway along the

movie

, the Kim family has successfully infiltrated the park house and is now reveling in their new sense of outside wealth, while the parks are away this is when we expect the

plot

to take a twist and surprise the Kims . so the twist isn't that he does the twist it's how the former maid the Kims conspire to get fired comes back to reveal her husband hiding from debt collectors in the park's secret bunker without everyone knowing, this not only introduces another level. literally in pong Joon hos biting social satire but throws the entire second act into a state of chaos that we cannot forget ready number 16 ami faked her death missing girl here's another twist that comes halfway at this point we've seen the The probability that Nick killed his wife increases and increases with each piece of evidence found to the point that even we suspect him, we are left behind, so imagine our surprise when Amy apparently narrates from beyond the grave only to discovering that no, she is alive and well. running incognito and ready to let her husband take the blame for a murder that never happened.

I'm sure Nick was a cheating jerk, but even we were shocked at the extent of Amy's duplicity and spite. You know, the old expression "hell hath no fury like a woman." scorned, yeah we're pretty sure whoever wrote that was talking about Amy and if I do everything right the world will hate Nick for killing his beautiful 15th pregnant wife, the kidnapping was fake. Gone Baby Gone very much like the protagonist Patrick Kenzie, we want nothing more than the location and protection of kidnapped three-year-old Amanda McCready, after following Patrick down a series of false leads, we are led to believe that Amanda was murdered accidentally during an exchange between the police and the criminals who supposedly took her, our hearts were broken. only to discover that she is alive and well under the protection of police captain Jack Doyle, who orchestrated this plan to get Amanda out of the hands of her neglectful cocaine-addicted mother.

We're just trying to give a girl her life that wasn't yours. It finally looks like we might have something resembling a happy ending, but Patrick can't walk away, denouncing Doyle and sending Amanda back into misery, breaking our hearts again. Jack Doyle is behind bars tonight, the 14th, the Armitage family is living in. black people get out, you've heard this story a thousand times a white girl has a black boyfriend a white girl takes her black boyfriend home to meet a white family and the white family performs involuntary neurosurgery on the black boyfriend to put their consciences on her body wait, how well can that be a total of more cliché me now in 2017 was absolutely stunned by the gardener's rise and the bingo auction, but we could never have guessed that this was what was happening or that Chris's girlfriend was involved, even when we look back, there were so many signs that showed that between this and us Jordan Peele is truly a new master of suspense number thirteen the characters are personalities identity over the course of this film we are made to believe that the arrested serial killer Malcolm Rivers, who suffers from dissociative personality disorder, will figure into the events with the main cast at the motel in some way, whether through flashbacks or alternate timelines, and he does figure in it or should we say they figure in. in it because not only does the motel not exist, but each inhabitant of it who tries to stay alive is each of Malcolm's personalities competing for position within his brain.

Why are you talking? because you owe him one of his personalities while still being a whodunnit with victims picked off one by one, the

plot

suddenly takes on a whole new meaning as the stakes somehow increase while now technically operating on a psychological level and level. neurological One of the personalities you met tonight Edward committed those murders four years ago Number 12 Esther is an adult orphan between the bad seed and the good Sun. We haven't been short of evil children in horror movies, so we thought we knew . what to expect as an orphan, surely the slogan on the poster says something is wrong with Esther and we had no doubt that obviously there has to be some other explanation that she didn't come from an asylum, how do you know you thought she came?

I had never heard of her, but we didn't think that thing would be that this apparent adoptee from hell was actually a 33-year-old woman with a hormonal disorder that gives her a childish appearance. She has a rare hormonal disorder called hypopituitarism. Proportional cause. dwarfism only looks like a girl according to our records Leena Klammer was born in 1976 she is 33 years old until she is revealed to be an orphan was just your typical psychological horror movie, but suddenly it became incredibly disturbing and disturbing in equal measure evil children we can deal with evil adults posing as evil children, we can't be number 11.

Half of life dies. Avengers: Infinity War, while Marvel had been breaking new ground for ten years when it came time to release this, their 19th film in their Cinematic Universe, we were still comfortable with the notion that the good guys win and the bad guys lose, Of course, we knew that another Avengers movie would come out a year later to conclude the story, but we still didn't anticipate that our favorite heroes would lose on such a monumental scale, not only does Thanos triumph, but he fulfills the promise he made at the beginning of the movie. by eliminating half of all life in the universe.

You're sure we knew he was capable, but we never in a million years thought Marvel would move forward. number 10 mr. Glass is an unbreakable supervillain, they say this one has a surprise ending even as M Night Shyamalan theater audiences realized the likelihood of a twist due to the shocking nature of the sixth reveal felt a year earlier, but even with that expectation, it was able to surprise us when the indestructible man David Dunn survives a train accident without a scratch. He is indoctrinated into the larger superhero mythology by the brittle bone of Elijah Price. I think comics are a form of story that someone somewhere felt or experienced.

It would seem that an unconventional friendship is forming. Elijah adopts the nickname Mr. Glass when it is revealed that he caused David's train to crash, to begin with, he was willing to kill hundreds of people just to find a superhero counterpart for his supervillain persona, if that's not a diabolical plan, we don't know what number nine is, the end was a lie, atonement. Told around World War II, Atonement is appropriately named because of the mistake thirteen-year-old Briony makes by falsely accusing her sister Cecilia's lover, Robbie, of rape after Robbie is imprisoned and subsequently forced to fight. with an older Brian who he finally gets the chance to apologize to.

Anne finally reunited Cecilia and Robbie upon realizing our mistake. I am very sorry, for the terrible anguish that has caught or does her as an elderly Briony explains that this scene in her book describing the events was merely imaginary since both Cecilia and Robbie were killed separately. In the war I never had a happy ending. I had enough courage to go to see my sister in June 1940. I never achieved the development of China. Having both characters go through so much only to have their love bow down over a simple misunderstanding is heartbreaking. and we're still not over it my sister and Robbie never got to spend time together, they both wanted so much teddy number eight is Andrew Ladis Shutter Island' there are many mysteries at the Shudder Islands Psychiatric Hospital for the Criminally Insane to duly appointed Federal Marshal Teddy Daniels to find out where Andrew is, the latest killer of Teddy's wife, what the law of four is, who is patient sixty-seven, it turns out that Teddy is the answer to these questions, since his entire investigation is actually a elaborate staff game.

To get Teddy or the last one to realize his own madness and repression, you've been here for two years, as a patient of this institution, we were as stunned by this revelation as Teddy, who, depending on your interpretation of the final line, he may have repressed it completely. again or congratulated the film for being able to take a turn and leave a little to interpretation, what would be worse you don't live is a monster what given is a good man number seven non-linear time arrival begins the arrival with the daughter of linguist Louise Banks succumbing to illness when alien capsules land on Earth and attempt to communicate, an interspecies war is brewing and time is of the essence or is it thanks to the struggles to decipher the cyclical nature of alien language only to realize that Unlocking it is seeing time from a non-linear perspective so you can see what is to come, time is not the same today, it is not linear as she makes it, she is able to communicate with her future self and discover how to create an armistice along with this.

I learned that Banks's daughter exists not in the past but in the future and that Banks will have her with the knowledge that she will die young and will choose the opportunity to love anyway, amazed despite knowing the journey and where she will go. she drives. I hug her and the number six. the family is already dead the rest of them God, it's so hard to tell a fresh haunted house story these days, but the others managed to flip the script in a way that was cathartic and unexpected. It follows Grace and her two children after the World War. two who begin to suspect that their house is haunted by ghosts when the objects move on their own and a strange old woman appears that is the number of times I have seen them seen the young woman most of them turn out that Grace was right there are ghosts in the house Only the ghosts are her and her two children after she murdered them before committing suicide.

We know that the woman went crazy, she suffocated her two children and then shot herself. What they perceived as ghosts are actually the living inhabitants of the house and the old woman is a medium. looking to eliminate them number five, the military arrives at the fog when we reach the end of the fog, our characters have been tested by a large number of creaturesinterdimensional after escaping the grocery store in search of rescuing our five remaining survivors. They are left helpless when their car runs out of gas with monstrous sounds approaching. The main protagonist, David Drayton, chooses to spare the other passengers an agonizing death by shooting each of them in the head with one less bullet.

He exits the vehicle to find his destination only to realize it. the sounds were those of the military gaining control of the situation when they rescue him, he realizes that he killed the others, including his own son, for nothing, geez, what punch number four doubles the prestige in this dueling magician movie , there are no lengths one can reach. I'm not going to undermine the other, both are clever with a trick up their sleeve, one is decidedly more complex than the other when Hugh Jackman's NGR chokes to death. However, Christian Bale's Borden is accused of murder and executed for it and GR is still alive. of them anyway, since he found a way to clone himself in every show before drowning in a pool.

The Jos twin NGO believes he won. Borden is revealed to still be alive; Well, one of them, Borden, was an identity shared by two identical twins. Trick wizard in his box the one that came back out Borden gets revenge and we get two spins for the price of one she sacrificed Robert that's the price of a good trick number three the corpse is a puzzle as the Saw films progressed while regressing in quality it became almost a mandatory cliché that they would all have a twist ending, but that was only because the twist in the first film was so good After apparently surviving the puzzle game by killing the scared but bloody Dr.

Gordon crawls away to have Clint help him with a chained atom, thinking he is safe. Adam catches his breath as the seemingly dead corpse that has been on the ground for hours suddenly begins to rise. Our jaws dropped along with Adams when we realized that Zep was just an involuntary. real puzzle pawn who was only a few feet away the entire time Adam screams in terror as the puzzle closes the door leaving him to die number 2 Leonard killed his wife flashback Leonard Shelby is a man who suffers from anterograde amnesia and therefore , is unable to create new memories.

Seeking to avenge the death of his wife when the two were assaulted, Leonard resorts to leaving clues in the form of Polaroids and tattoos to aid in his investigation. From here on, the memory is unique because many of the scenes play in reverse chronological order and we To begin with, we were allowed to discover what God is here, we found him, you killed him, but you didn't remember much, like in Shutter Island. Leonard learns that his wife survived the attack and was later killed when Leonard accidentally gave him an overdose of her medication. having forgotten that I had already given it to him Sammy had no wife it was your wife who had diabetes condemned to forget again Leonard will continue to repress his mistake forever I lie to myself to be happy in your case teddy yes I Will we see many of these again movies right after to make sure you've caught all the movies you know well?

That's how I felt at the time, at least our first pick probably wouldn't fall into that category due to the nature of the Giro, but hey, to each their own, it's a pretty epic twist, so let's look at some shocking honorable mentions before to name the

best
