it's not considered conjoined because the underdeveloped twin is dependent on the body of the other Like A Parasite Gabriel feeds off Emily welcome to watch Mojo and today we're counting down our picks for the top 20 unexpected plot twists that were deemed bad movies possible for this list we'll be looking at the films that aren't the best but save themselves from mediocrity with jaw-dropping twists since since we'll be talking about the stories all the way through here's your spoiler alert which movie do you think has a Twist that boosts its quality let us know in the comments number 20 the devil's identity devil devil deserves points for an exciting premise five strangers are trapped in an elevator one by one a person is killed by someone in the group while everyone tries to figure out the culprit okay he's probably trying to figure out which one of us is the murderer although it's an interesting story setup devil becomes too similar to saw the film basically becomes about how gruesome the next death will be these Cheap Thrills aren't particularly exhilarating until the climax it turns out that an elderly woman who died early on is the True Villain even more surprisingly she's the actual devil the antagonist deliberately trapped sinful people together to collect their souls you're not good I know you think you can make up for the choices you made you think you can be forgiven this flips Devil's story on its head since each person deserves to be held responsible for their crimes number 19 the real villain The Nutcracker and the four Realms this fantasy Adventure is about protagonist Clara bringing peace to a magical land she teams with the Sugar Plum Fairy while grieving her mother's death the former Queen of the Realms the one who began this war [Music] hope you'll be the one be the one the film's good versus bad outline lacks originality feeling like a rehash of superhero movies its twist does signify deeper themes relating to Clara's loss as sugar Plum's betrayal comes to light mother Ginger the supposed villain is revealed to be falsely accused perceiving the death of Clara's mother as abandonment sugar plum plans to become Queen in her place yo other abandoned us and then she just expects us to carry on and play nice well I don't want to play meanwhile Clara accepts losing her mother empowering herself to defeat the villain this turn of events contrasts the two characters adding the required emotional depth that's lacking for most of the story number 18 the real Brahms the boy Miss Evans allow me to introduce Mr Hilton Miss Evans and this is our son Brahms American Nanny Greta is given the strange job of looking after a porcelain doll named Brahms this begins a drawn-out plot about odd events surrounding the doll which convinces Greta that it's possessed by the spirit of her employer's deceased child unfortunately much of the boy's run time is about jump scares that don't do much to move the plot forward it's only at the end when the payoff for these shock value moments arrives Brahms the titular boy isn't actually a boy he's not even a ghost Brahms has been alive this whole time living within the House's walls to spy on Greta his problems can't be oh man the movements of the doll were all orchestrated by Brahms himself providing an impressive turn of events to an otherwise formulaic film number 17 the truth behind the community don't worry darling in a seemingly idyllic 50s town called Victory housewife Alice Chambers starts to notice things are off she realizes her husband Jack and all the men are hiding a secret do you even know what Frank is actually doing classified we're not even allowed to discuss our jobs with other departments you know that what if Margaret was right what what if this place is dangerous stop it don't worry darling suffers from an identity crisis not fully committing to being a psychological thriller or a commentary on male fragility after wasting some of its run time on these themes the Final Act of the movie turns things around Alice comes to know that Victory isn't real it's a simulated reality where she and the other women are trapped by the men do you consent to the physical and medical requirements for entry to Victory yes are you aware that you are responsible for the physical upkeep of your chosen life yes this brings context to the odd behavior of most of the characters as they knew the secret all along the Revelation also adds much needed tension to Alice's bid for Freedom number 16 Crash Landing life life is too similar to other alien-based films to feel original featuring a story about a species that slowly takes out a space crew one by one it has a rather generic plot line where the characters figure out a way to stop Calvin the alien control this is station station for control the specimens location is unknown it has to be considered hostile and deadly our intent is to isolate and disturb the in compliance with protocol the ending makes it appear that Miranda North has escaped while David Jordan has sacrificed himself to prevent Calvin from reaching Earth we fly out into deep space with with Calvin yes meanwhile you get into both B you press the button there are no complications and it takes you back home no wish Lord help them together Miranda that doesn't make any sense the film's final moments are where this seemingly predictable story takes a huge turn as it was Miranda's pod that was knocked off course while David has reached Earth with Calvin this changes life's Direction completely leaving us stunned with the chilling realization that Humanity might be doomed number 15 Morty's real identity click where's the Box does it come with directions not necessary just point click eventually will program itself perpetually frustrated Michael Newman is offered a Time skipping remote by a mysterious man named Morty while Michael initially has fun with it his life ultimately spirals out of control click has some emotionally stirring moments but the slapstick comedy can become annoying to watch the premise also overstays its welcome after several time skips but the reveal of Morty's true nature saves the movie with decades skipped Beyond salvation Michael finds out that Morty is the Angel of Death Angel Michael an angel I thought the names were supposed to protect people death the remote was a way for Michael to appreciate his life giving him an extremely long lesson to learn unlike stereotypical portrayals of the Angel of Death Morty isn't an evil entity but someone who shows Michael that he's been making the wrong decisions in life number 14 Jaime's father dead silence Jamie Ashen tries to figure out a way to end his family's curse as the ghost of ventriloquist Mary Shaw looks to end his bloodline all these years you've resented me for sending you away but I did it to distance you from this curse taking a slow build toward its conclusion Dead Silence spends a lot of its run time showing the protagonist lost and confused Jaime's story is riddled with many bait and switch moments until he thinks he's beaten Mary by destroying her last doll however the final moments have Jaime realized that he was led astray his father turns out to be a doll controlled by his wife who is possessed by Mary with no place to run a horrified Jamie learns this is how his demise was planned the whole time now who's the dummy although the villain wins the manner of her Victory does deserve praise number 13 Tim's end game seven pounds seven pounds has Earnest intent with its story about the power of kindness because you are a good man really even when you don't know that people are watching you but it gets very melodramatic as the film goes on making it a bit of a drag to watch it follows Ben Thomas who seeks to help supposed strangers keeping up with the abundance of characters is difficult until the ending ties everything together we learned Ben is actually Tim Thomas who was responsible for causing multiple deaths in an accident Tim is giving his organs away to people in need to redeem himself culminating in his own demise to save Seven Lives I got lung cancer and I needed a double lobe transplant could only give me one of course I must have planted a seed his sacrifice justifies every interaction he's had in the film carving out Tim's role as a tragic hero and slapping viewers right in the feels number 12 the truth about the devaros the skeleton key look he said the outside of History right Voodoo is pretty harmless almost home well it's psychological like a lot of that stuff Carriage if you don't believe this supernatural horror contains many scenes with characters talking about hoodoo all this Exposition dulls the skeleton keys quality since so much talking leaves little room for scares Kate Hudson's character Caroline becomes a caretaker of an elderly couple the devaros the initially skeptical protagonist eventually believes the old people are hoodoo practitioners and tries to escape but it turns out that all of Caroline's research was manipulated to make her believe in hudu and prepared for possession the devrose are century-old Body Snatchers who lure young people to their Plantation Caroline and a state lawyer Luke are the latest in a long line of victims all the talk of hudu in the film were discreet hints for viewers to prepare for this Grand twist I think it fits you beautifully it's better than violet or grace even [Music] we'll get used to it we always do number 11 the truth about Gabriel malignant director James Wan frequently uses Slow Burn stories with a Twist malignant follows this template as well it begins when mistreated Madison Mitchell's violent husband is killed you're in a hospital we're stairs do you remember what happened someone broke into your house you were attacked and Derek Madison learns that her childhood imaginary friend Gabriel is behind the deaths of people connected to her although the film repeats this cycle of violence more than necessary The Twist of Gabriel's sudden reappearance is worth the wait we learned that Gabriel is Madison's parasitic twin brother who can control her body after being extracted from her at childbirth Gabriel's Consciousness has remained in her mind one twin is dominant while the other is underdeveloped it's not considered conjoined because the underdeveloped twin is dependent on the body of the other Like A Parasite Gabriel feeds off Emily the hunt for the killer went around in circles because Madison was indirectly the killer all along this clever twist Alters the context of the film's events and sets up its horror-filled ending number 10 David's dream Vanilla Sky Vanilla Sky opens with David Ames providing his account of the events that ruined his life an accident leaves David's face disfigured heard alienating him from his lover Sophia let's get it all out say everything now let's just just David say everything say everything now now now now I'll tell you in another life when we are both cats incoherent storytelling techniques and constant tonal changes in the narrative make it confusing to keep up with Vanilla Sky but the climax answers why David's life is a blur he's been in cryogenic sleep for over a century waiting for technology to develop enough to repair his disfigurement all the Mayhem shortly after his accident was a glitch in his lucid dream causing his feelings of guilt and sadness to catch up to him your subconscious did create problems your dream turned into a nightmare and this gentleman was able to uncover the fabric of our work the glitch has been corrected the ambiguity of David's fate is a clever way to leave viewers contemplating what comes next number nine the cat Fallen this supernatural horror movies plot has detective Hobbes and Jonesy track the demon Azazel who possesses people hoping to cause global Calamity just tell me what they want the demons they want the fall of civilization the fall of Babylon as they put it the premise quickly takes a downturn since azazel's body hopping becomes played out and nothing else really happens Fallen also comes across as too convoluted for a horror movie but this makes way for an ingeniously simple twist no one would see coming before letting Azazel take over his body Hobbes poisons himself while at a secluded cabin to ensure the demon is stranded forever you don't smoke anymore because cigarettes kill especially cigarettes laced with boys however Azazel breaks the fourth wall to mock us for thinking the good guy would win as he possesses a cat to head back to civilization oh you forgot something didn't you the beginning I said I was going to tell you about the time I almost died this intellectual twist proves the devil does come in many forms number eight Remy's true reality Repo Men this movie's premise is about Repo Men in the future whose job is to repossess artificially enhanced organs my job is simple can't pay for your car the bank takes it back can't pay for your house bank takes it back can't pay for your liver well that's where I come in the main character Remy's attempt to escape the repossession of his heart eventually spirals into a predictable Chase story the story seems to reach its cliche happy ending when a glitch brings everything back to reality it's revealed that Remy's injury at one point in the film had caused severe brain damage and all that he sees is part of a simulation now Remy and his love interests are actually barely alive meaning the happy ending only exists in Remy's mind this subverts usual action movie stereotypes in favor of a dark and realistic conclusion that is Bittersweet yet thought-provoking at the same time [Music] sweet dreams buddy number seven Enders simulations Ender's Game Ender's Game follows the titular characters training to prevent an alien invasion he partakes in simulations of the alien race known as formix gaining Victory through his strategically brilliant mind underwater rights I see it Bernard you flag them copy that using 10 through 18. alive feel right you can't compensate for the polar Planet G8 and go Full Throttle however the film devotes a lot of time to the gaming aspect which prevents the supporting characters from having much depth it's only by the ending that the importance of the many simulations becomes apparent Ender finds out that these were all happening in real time and he's responsible for wiping out most of the formic race it's a solid twist that turns the protagonist into a villain without anyone realizing it I will bear the shame of this genocide forever no you will be remembered as a hero I will be remembered as a killer the reveal of the formix structure makes Ender's misunderstood actions all the more tragic number six betrayal Smoking Aces FBI agents Messner and Carruthers are tasked to keep the informant Aces alive from Mob Boss baratza's Bounty they'll form a witness against the mob has been as crucial for as important as buddy Aces Israel is not only essential to our case he is our case unfortunately the influx of many characters turns this into a highly convoluted plot that runs around in circles until the climax presents the big twist the FBI is revealed to be working with the mob esperata himself is an informant and Ace's father whom the FBI hand over as part of their deal the bureau betrayed us you betrayed a deputy director you betrayed us the way you betrayed them disgusted that the FBI's own corrupt activities caused so many deaths Messner pulls the plugs on both Aces and sperata to destroy everyone's plans [Music] [Music] foreign messing around with the plot so much smoke and Ace's morally appropriate ending presents a great contrast to all the prior over-the-top violence number five everything comes full circle Final Destination 5. the Final Destination movies have never been critical Darlings mainly because the plot lines lack many surprises we all gotta get off what are you talking about the bridge is going to collapse what we're all gonna die what the hell is going on we're all gonna die if we don't get off this bridge now Final Destination 5 follows the same pattern featuring yet another group's attempts to escape death but meeting their ends in gruesome ways the main plot ends as expected with the survivors planning to leave on a plane to celebrate their supposed victory over death are you kidding me you're gonna make me sit in the middle stage I'm like twice your size not really all right however it's then that the flight is confirmed to be the one shown in the first movie meaning that everything that's happened so far has been set up by death to lead to this moment those passengers who got off the plane earnier what was that all about a kid had a panic attack and wanted off the plane he said he had some kind of vision as the plane crashes the story comes full circle for the franchise making it symbolic of the circle of life and death number four Judgment Day Terminator 3 rise of the Machines no bombs fell computers didn't take control we stopped Judgment Day by this point it was obvious that the series would format of the previous two movies Terminator 3 does indeed follow this style with the titular character now protecting an adult John Connor from another Advanced Terminator sent by Skynet you here to kill me [Music] no you must live the story is on course for the usual Sacrifice by the Terminator but the final moments take an original twist never seen before in the franchise it turns out that Judgment Day could never be prevented as was always believed and that Skynet had already initiated nuclear bombs to begin a worldwide Massacre John what is he saying Judgment Day the end of the world it's today three hours from now Terminator 3 baits the viewer into a false sense of security to leave fans speechless as the series promise of a dystopian future finally comes to pass number three Esther's true nature orphan this psychological Horror Story centers around the adoption of a young child whose arrival Sparks several incidents orphan is largely formulaic with obvious signs of young Esther being an evil child then you were just pretending this whole time I thought you would enjoy teaching me it must be frustrating for someone who loves music as much as you to have a son who isn't interested in a daughter who can't even hear the build up seems to point toward a cliche turn for the worst from Esther but the reveal of her true nature comes out of nowhere as it turns out Esther is an adult woman posing as a young girl meaning her malicious activities were the premeditated actions of a murderer and not a disturbed child she only looks like a child according to our records Lena klammer was born in 1976 she's 33 years old The Twist gives the Thriller the Eerie sense of horror it was going for it also makes orphan a highly re-watchable flick as it's interesting to go back and find clues for this twist hidden all along go to your room honestly or past that now aren't we number two the truth about Eli The Book of Eli The Book of Eli sees the titular character's attempt to preserve the last copy of the Bible while escaping a warlord who wants the book's knowledge let's just staying alive is not your faith building this town is an even bigger active face but they don't understand that none of them and I'd have had the right words to help them but the book does this dystopian movie has similarities with the critically acclaimed Mad Max series but relies on the mystery of its protagonists so much that the action becomes a drag to watch however the closing moments show Eli has been hiding an even bigger secret as the Bible is written in Braille revealing that Eli was blind the whole time the first book of Moses called Genesis chapter 1. [Music] verse one having given no obvious Clues The Twist places the protagonist's actions in a bigger context and signs off with an uplifting message Eli's Journey was always meant to be spiritual which changes the previously Bleak Outlook of the film in an instant doesn't have to make sense it's Faith it's Faith it's the Flower of Life in the field of Darkness has given me the strength to carry on you understand before we continue be sure to subscribe to our Channel and ring the bell to get notified about our latest videos you have the option to be notified for occasional videos or all of them if you're on your phone make sure you go into your settings and switch on notifications number one the secret accomplice Saw 3D the seventh movie loses all the nuances and thoughtful commentary from previous entries instead Saw 3D is a straight up Gore Fest that relies completely on the traps the plot sees Mark Hoffman simply off everyone in his path and then take down jigsaw's wife Jill out of Revenge this person will go on killing until he's stopped you know him and he definitely knows you is that right his detective Mark Hoffman however Dr Gordon whose status was never clarified until this film's opening scene shows up to attack Hoffman before he can escape it's revealed that Gordon was jigsaw's secret accomplice all along meaning he had a hand in everything that happened in the series hello Dr Gordon you are perhaps my greatest asset this ties up all loose ends in one go and at least gives this by the Numbers movie the huge twist fans were looking for did you enjoy this video check out these other clips from WatchMojo and be sure to subscribe and ring the bell to be notified about our latest videos so
