worse turns out the fenton we meet is actually adam [Music] adam murdered fenton because in a shocking second twist adam can really sense evil in people and he knew fenton was responsible for the killings god's will shall be done we guess and i got you maybe that's not gonna bring your mother back is it number 17. us jordan peele's second feature film had big shoes to fill and on the plot twist front he delivered huh who is that when we first meet the tethered in this horror show we have absolutely no idea who they are or where they came from all we know is they look like adelaide and her family just a lot freakier finally before the gorgeous final fight scene red adelaide's tethered reveals the government created the tethered to control humans but something bad happened and they were abandoned they created so they could use them to control the ones above like puppets government conspiracy gone horribly wrong is already a great twist but the final reveal that the adelaide we know is actually a tethered who switched places with her human counterpart as a child is truly jaw-dropping i think she's not my fault she left that's not my fault yeah look at me number 16 the sting heist movies they're chock full of twists but the sting delights us more than most glad to meet you kid you're a real horse's ass luther said i could learn something from you paul newman and robert redford play henry gondorff and johnny hooker two grifters trying to con a mob boss by creating a sham horse race betting parlor we're gonna put down 400 grand next week at five to one hours there's two million twenty percent of that is yours if you stick with us got a system kelly this film has numerous players fake identities and motives to keep track of but one of the biggest surprises comes when fbi agent poke forces hooker to play informant and give gondorf up we've got a tip that gandorf is going to run a con on the south side here all you've got to do is tell us when he's going to play his chump we come in at the sting make the pinch and you walk out free is a bird when the fbi raids the parlor gondor shoots hooker for his betrayal and then poke shoots gondorf everyone dies except they don't okay henry all clear turns out agent poke is also a con man and gondorphin hooker staged the whole thing you gotta love the con within a con within a con it's a nice con hickey i thought you were the fez myself when you came in no trouble henry snyder went for it all the way number 15 gone baby gone sometimes twists can take us to very dark places and that is exactly what happens in gone baby gone well she's uh quiet she tries very hard to be a good girl what about elaine friends people she hangs out with private investigators patrick and angie join up with the police department and start working the case of amanda mccready a little girl who was abducted from her home they eventually come into contact with the kidnappers and set up an exchange for the girl's life geez we got your money it was buried in ray's backyard i want to give it back to you in exchange for amanda mccready in a tragic turn of events the little girl dies after a fight breaks out during the trade he was an accident but as always it's not that simple patrick later learns that police detectives staged amanda's kidnapping to make some quick cash what's more amanda is still alive she's living with the police captain who lost his own daughter years earlier we're just trying to give a little girl a life wasn't your life to give number 14 the departed do you smell a rat because this movie is full of them the story follows colin sullivan who is working for mob boss frank costello as a mole in the boston pd thank you frank you earned it no more pencils no more books and billy costigan an undercover cop trying to infiltrate costello's gang delivering unfortunately for the characters in this movie pretty much all the plot twists lead to someone's death you know i never give you up here like uh like a son when it's revealed that costello is an fbi informant himself sullivan kills him i am killing you [Music] when kossigan finds out sullivan is the rat he's killed by another dirty cop costello is going to sell us to the fbi who sullivan then kills to clear his own name and finally in the best twist of all detective dignum who sullivan wronged comes back and kills him okay cue the rat on the windowsill number 13. scream back in the 90s scream basically revitalized horror movies and did so in twisty turny fashion it's just me the setup is simple there's a serial killer on the loose and he's targeting high schooler sydney prescott and her friends the audience spends most of the movie trying to figure out who the killer behind the terrifying mask is corn syrup same stuff they use for pigs blood and carry in the third act not only is it revealed that the killer is sydney's boyfriend billy but also that he's not working alone that's right there are two killers what's the matter sydney you look like you've seen a ghost why are you doing this billy and stew have already killed so many people and it's looking like they'll kill sydney too when plot twist it turns out that two of their presumed victims gail and randy were not dead after all careful this is the moment when the supposedly dead killer comes back to life for one last scare number 12 spider-man homecoming sometimes a movie pulls off two plot twists that don't feed into one another and that's what happens in this mcu joint i guess you already have a date to homecoming actually i'm so busy planning and i never really got around to that part so peter parker just wants one day of normalcy and hopes he can get it when he takes his crush liz to the homecoming dance open the door for her tell her she looks nice but not too much because that's creepy but when peter meets liz's father he realizes it's vulture one of peter's nemesis he must be peter seriously it's hard enough to meet the dad no need to throw super villains into the mix hey pedro the second plot twist comes later tony stark aka iron man gives peter the opportunity to become an avenger something peter has always wanted how are you good but i mean i'm i'd rather just stay on the ground for a little while friendly neighborhood spider-man but he declines because someone has to look out for the little guy right you better think about this look at that look at me last chance yes or no no okay it's kind of a springsteen working class your own vibe that i think number 11 friday the 13th there's nothing more exciting than learning the shocking identity of the killer in a movie we weren't doing anything we were just messing around audiences spend friday the 13th thinking that the summer camp in the movie is haunted by the ghost of jason who drowned in the lake [Applause] it only makes sense that he would be the vengeful monster killing all the counselors so audiences were shocked when it was revealed that mrs voorhees jason's mom was the real killer jason was my son and today is his birthday where's mr christie oh i couldn't let them open this place again mrs voorhees is a much scarier human villain but that doesn't stop the movie from shocking you with the supernatural too after overcoming mrs voorhees counselor alice falls asleep in a canoe and who should leap out of the water to pull her under but a decomposing jason he's still there number 10. arrival this amazing sci-fi film stunned audiences twice [Music] when strange ships land on earth linguist louise banks must try to communicate with the aliens i'm human in other invasion movies the aliens almost always arrive intent on destruction but in a refreshing twist the aliens want to offer the world their language which isn't constrained by time and allows them to see past present and future at once what is your purpose here then in a bittersweet turn of events we later learn that the flashbacks louise has been seeing throughout the movie are not flashbacks at all but visions of the future brought on by her ability to understand the alien language how can you know the future it's a gut punch and one we won't forget anytime soon number 9 the mist the original ending of stephen king's novella the mist leaves readers wondering what happens to the characters but in the 2007 adaptation viewers got an ending a twisty one filled with despair when a deadly monster-filled mist descends upon a small town a group of survivors including artist david and his son billy break out of a grocery store and drive away their car runs out of gas leaving the group trapped the book ends here but in the movie david shocks everyone by killing the group even his son to save them from a worse fate as he's about to turn the gun on himself surprise the mist clears it was all for nothing [Music] [Applause] number eight the prestige christopher nolan loves a plot twist see memento inception or pretty much any of his other works as proof but we wanted to focus on this magical thriller and the two twists it pulls off in nolan fashion it is a bit complicated so bear with us the story hinges on the successful execution of the transported man trick robert angier pulls off the trick by creating a clone of himself and allowing the original version of himself to drown and i win because no one cares about the man in the box the man who disappears when a dead angier is discovered rival magician alfred borden is blamed and executed but that's not all we either went into the box or the window came back out turns out borden has a secret too he is an identical twin and that's how he pulled off his own version of the trick there's nothing easy about two men sharing my life number seven mulholland drive buckle up for this one folks david lynch's mulholland drive is a weird one just relax when aspiring actress betty arrives in la she finds a strange woman in her apartment hi do you work with my aunt no i i'm sorry it's it's none of my business the woman calls herself rita but is suffering from amnesia and can't remember who she is what is it rita i thought when i woke up i thought sleep would do it what's wrong i don't know who i am at one point betty and rita look for a woman named diane they find a dead body but it's unclear if the woman is diane or not then in a strange turn of events betty wakes up but she's not betty she's diane what do you want my lamp and dishes come on diane it's been three weeks the story continues to unfold in bewildering style until diane or betty shoots herself she was the dead body all along or was she listen this could take hours to unpack number six shutter island i'm deputy ward mcpherson gentlemen welcome to shutter island this psychological thriller follows us marshall teddy daniels as he investigates the disappearance of a psychiatric facility patient so this female prisoner patient excuse me patient teddy and his partner follow a series of convoluted clues as they look for rachel salando the missing patient who drowned her three children she considered dangerous you could say that she killed all three of her children she drowned them in the lake behind her house the clues become increasingly hard to decipher leaving the audience to wonder seriously what the heck is going on is there a reason you keep referring to your patient in the past tense doctor look outside marshall why do you think but shutter island makes up for all that creeping uncertainty and delivers on two shocking twists i found a doctor in a cave out by the cliffs but you'll never get to her i don't doubt it considering she's not real first the movie reveals the investigation is an elaborate trick teddy is actually a patient at the hospital who murdered his wife you were committed here by court order 24 months ago your crime is terrible one you can't forgive yourself for so you invented another self the second twist rachel isn't real but based on teddy's wife who drowned their children before teddy killed her dark stuff where are the kids number five parasite parasite won big at the oscars and for very good reason [Music] [Music] the kim family schemes their way into the employee of the wealthy park family partying it up in the park's huge house when they're gone but when the old housekeeper shows up one night a shocking discovery is made turns out there's a bunker in the basement of the park's house where the old housekeeper hides her husband who's on the run from loan sharks sound wild just wait everything comes to a head at the park's son's birthday party [Applause] [Music] [Applause] the housekeeper's husband breaks out and sparks a murderous rampage that ends with mr kim killing mr park two of the best twists of all time no doubt number four get out the aforementioned jordan peels directorial debut was one of the best films of 2017 and filled with twists to boot so how long has this been going on this thing when chris who's african-american goes to meet his white girlfriend's family things feel a little off to say the least strange housekeepers a deranged brother hypnotism all red flags sink into the floor wait wait wait the first twist comes when the armitage's plans for chris are revealed out the family is literally auctioning chris off to the highest bidder a horrifying insane twist in its own right but wait there's more girls we gotta go we gotta go now okay okay is everything okay in the car oh you gotta go right now it's okay okay yeah when chris gets away and the cops show up the audience assumes the worst but it's not the cops chris it's chris's best friend rod there to save the day i mean i told you not to go in the house number three the others who are the real ghosts and can we ever be sure according to this spooky 2001 flick no we cannot [Music] the others is a fairly standard horror film at first grace stewart and her two young children ann and nicholas are haunted by ghosts we've all seen this movie before right don't speak to them why they're dead but then the twists start coming turns out the ghosts haunting the house they're alive grace realizes this when she walks in on a seance where the others are trying to contact the dead something about a pillow is that how she killed you and then comes the second twist grace and her children are the real ghosts grace learns that she smothered her children and ended her own life and had been haunting the home unknowingly ever since we know the woman went mad number two gone girl this one's for all you cool girls out there you have to see this this movie completely tricks you in the beginning we will organize searches put up flyers we're going to hold press conference tomorrow press conference yeah i want to get the word out right when amy dunn disappears everyone thinks her husband nick is responsible even the audience man of my dreams father of my child this man of mine may kill me but the first huge plot twist comes with a bang i am so much happier now that i'm dead amy says we then learn how amy staged the whole thing with the help of the unwitting bump up your life insurance [Music] purchase getaway car craigslist it is a shocking turn but not the most shocking thing in the movie when amy decides to come back to nick it seems inevitable that he'll leave her but she reveals she froze some of his sperm and impregnated herself tying them together forever i didn't touch you you didn't need to we're with tyler perry here these two are the most messed up people we know you and amy under the same roof he said pitch that as reality television so do you think we pulled off a twist with our number one entry let's look through some honorable mentions and then we'll see which movie pulled off two twists the best moon a workforce of cloned sam rockwells sam there was no crash you were being awakened it is standard procedure for all new clones to be given tests to establish mental stability and general physical health buried there's no worse way to go oh my god i'm so sorry i'm sorry what is this it's mark white he brought us to mark white saw two amanda and jigsaw working as one hello eric you

double twists hitchcock's horror masterpiece may be spoiled for everyone today even if you've never seen it but that doesn't change just how shocking the movie was in 1960 marion crane played by janet leigh is on the run after stealing some money she stops at the bates motel and meets norman who runs the motel with his mother mrs bates uh if if you want anything just just tap on the wall i'll be in the office thank you mr bates norman bates then in one of the most famous scenes in cinema someone kills marion in the shower [Music] [Applause] janet lee was a massive star at the time so it was a shock to see her gone so quickly the final twist reveals that norman is the killer and he killed mrs bates but manifests her as an alternate personality i hope they are watching they'll see they'll see and they'll know and they'll say why she wouldn't even harm a fly this list made me realize that i love a good movie twist because i've seen most of these movies which is good because it's kind of an occupational hazard that movies like these get spoiled for me all the time anyway be sure to let us know in the comments what your favorite double twist is or come tell me on twitter or instagram
