What movie twist genuinely managed to surprise you?


  1. Original Saw when jigsaw gets up from the middle of the floor.

  2. "No. I am your father." Saw this in the theater in 1980. Mind blown.
    — UlrichZauber

  3. The ending of Memento. I actually had the movie spoiled for me, so I knew about the "twist" before I watched it. And yet the ending still managed to shock me. That's how good that movie was.

  6. The Prestige. The reveal of Borden's secret was totally unexpected, but made so much sense on second viewing.

  7. Shutter Island. I thought they were fucking with him.

  11. The ending of the Mist, even surprised the author of the book.

  12. The last scene of Apocalypto. To think he survived all those trials only to find the Spanish at the shore and the hope in his eyes when he sees them. I have been surprised by many movies but this one stuck with me.

  13. Spider-Man homecoming and the Dad/villain reveal.
