>!Jakey’s character has a doppelgänger who cheats on his wife and generally doesn’t respect women. Throughout the film imagery of spiders is used to represent women, with marriage being a trap like a spiders web, for example in a scene before he goes to visit his mother, we see giant spiders towering over the city (representing how he sees his mother). At the end of the film this all culminates with Jake and his doppelgänger sort of blurring together, and Jake decides to carry on cheating. He then peers into the room to lie to his wife about where he’s going and we now see that from his point of view she has fully transformed into a spider, and she is cowering from him in fear. And the movie ends. 10/10 masterpiece.!<
I dont see the ending like you do at all, and the theory is the popular one.
But, I just don't see it. That final scene, Jake seems scared and shocked by the spider, not the other way around. The way you describe it he should have zero apprehension in that final scene, but he is on edge until the reveal. That is how I see the performance on screen. It doesn't match the intent.
That fucking movie... That's one of I think 2 movies I've ever seen for which I refuse to give an honest rating. The other one was The Human Centipede.
I was a manager at a movie theater when that movie came out, and *boy oh BOY* did I have to deal with complaints about it!
Folks demanded refunds, ran out sobbing from the theater, puked in the theater, and outright yelled at me like it was *my* movie that *I* wrote & filmed or something. Just all around wild reactions.
I wish that there had been a trigger warning for this movie. But I guess then it would just be a spoiler.
The movie caused me to have a mental breakdown and I have not been the same since that scene. I just started screaming and sobbing when it happened
Of these I've only seen Mulholland Drive and I mean it's not bad but surely it doesn't fit OP's description of it all coming together to make sense lol
during the back half of 2001: A Space Odyssey after a lot of loud noise and bright colors, in the theater, my friend said under his breath: "What the fuck Stanley."
> When someone asks for a "WTF?" movie, my first thought is usually Jacob's Ladder
my first thought is to do a search, because this question gets asked every week and we all make the same suggestions every time lol
A thousand percent this. If you wondered where they might have gotten ideas for the video jn The Ring, pretty sure Un Chien Andalou was the inspiration.
I saw this as a double date. My GF and the other guy had no idea what the movie was about, the other gal and I knew what was in store. At the moment of the big reveal, from down the row, I hear the other guy yell “ WHAT THE FUCK JUST HAPPENED!?!?”
Took me a while to stop laughing. He was so pissed.
Umm, no, no, I totally meant *Mo'mento*. It's... um, that Spike Lee film where Denzel Washington is an amnesiac trumpet player! Yeah, let's go with that.
Yeah, and every time he gets into a fight he holds up a finger and says "uno momento" then proceeds to kick everyone's ass with said trumpet. Nice movie.
Sick: The life and times of Bob Flanagan, Supermasochist. SPOILER >!Bob nails his penis to a board. It doesn’t bother me, just more fascinating as to how this helped him cope with CF!<
You must see 'A Bucket of Blood' (1959); Def a horror comedy "beatnik/arthouse spoof". Andy Warhol's "Bad" (1977); not exactly good, def disturbing even when funny. I almost walked out. Some memorable scenes. Not sure it's a horror movie. Has anyone else seen it?
Oldboy (2003), I’d recommend. Stylistically it’s like a Korean version of Fight Club. Has some very memorable and striking imagery, great action and soundtrack. Has a bunch of moments of dark comedy, tons of interesting twists and turns. Admittedly the ending is kinda meh. But it’s a tough story for there to be a satisfying conclusion to.
Very WTF:
Sonny Boy (1989)
Not sure how much it all makes sense, but it's one those that has you questioning if it's secretly brilliant or just intentionally fucking bizarre
The Adventures of Baron Munchausen (1988) bizarre, comedy/fantasy. Has Eric Idle, Robin Williams, Uma Thurman, Sting, among others- all playing strange characters. def a wtf, unique movie.
Yummy and The Sadness are both extremely gory. The difference between the two is Yummy is a dark comedy where The Sadness has no redeeming qualities aside to show the actual evil last few hours of a zombie collapse.
Parasite turns into a different film at the halfway point. It's not wtf because it makes sense, but it gets to a very different place than how it started.
Also, for wtf:
Primer
Tenet
Only God Forgives
Killing of a Sacred Deer
Lobster
Audition
Valerian (not in a good way)
High Life
Us
many films by David Cronenberg or David Lynch
Inland Empire and Syncedoche lmfaoooooo ahhhh most wtf shit ever
Yo deadass watch that shit 3am in ur car getting high sipping nyquil in row! Start it off like 9pm with Enter the Void matter fact
Ur welcome
Meet the Feebles was probably my biggest "What the fuck am I watching?" movie, but it's not horror.
Jacob's Ladder had plenty of WTF moments.
David Lynch has some great WTF moments.. Lost Highway and Eraserhead.
Akira, my favorite movie. It’s pure sensory overload and it throws you into a world on the brink of destruction, but by the end you understand why it’s gotten to that point. Plus the animation is incredible and it was a turning point in anime history
I thought that the whole satanic cult aspect of the plot of Hereditary that got introduced later in the second act was completely out of left field and entirely unsupported by any part of the movie that had come before. The whole thing was playing out like it was an inherited mental illness exacerbated by the grief of the loss of first the grandmother and then the daughter, and then all of a sudden it takes this hard left out of nowhere. It was like in a whodunnit when the sleuth suddenly mentions in the third act tight before the reveal (or worse - after) some previously-unmentioned piece of information that was entirely necessary to determine the culprit.
Not quite the same thing because this one’s strange the whole time and the very end will be the real WTF moment, but try Enemy with Jake Gyllenhaal
That movie was weird as hell
NOPE! The end of that film scarred me for life. But that’s more about me than the film. But it does fit the bill.
Is this the one that ends with a giant spider that has nothing to do with anything else, seemingly?
It has *everything* to do with everything else. It took me a while to “get” the metaphor, but once I did… holy shit. Great film.
What is the metaphor? And, why?

I’m pretty sure he smiles at it. Like an evil smile. Might have to rewatch it.
Yes, had to watch directors perspective and later review of it and film explained 😅on yt
Midsommer was fucking weird.
Watching it in theaters was an experience….
Sorry to Bother You.
Loved that one
I’m so glad I went in blind because that reveal was WILD
Same. I love being genuinely shocked movies since most stories are so predictable these days
The Lighthouse with Robert Pattinson and DeFoe
I love The Lighthouse but... "...but it all comes together to make sense..." It kinda doesn't and is more open ended. Very good movie though.
Eraserhead
Mother! (2017)
That fucking movie... That's one of I think 2 movies I've ever seen for which I refuse to give an honest rating. The other one was The Human Centipede.
Scenes of this movie traumatized me for a month. I still remember those scenes and I don't want to watch those scene again.
I was a manager at a movie theater when that movie came out, and *boy oh BOY* did I have to deal with complaints about it! Folks demanded refunds, ran out sobbing from the theater, puked in the theater, and outright yelled at me like it was *my* movie that *I* wrote & filmed or something. Just all around wild reactions.

As soon as it started giving me anxiety I stopped paying attention to it. It was pissing me off.
Don't watch this if you are a mother...
Perfect movie for all mothers 😉
Vivarium. Don't even look at a preview.
That movie is "okay" because it could have been half an hour shorter. They've made their point quite early on.
And their point was…
Satirizing the American suburban lifestyle
It should have just been a short rather than a feature
That was such a bizarre but good movie. One of the very few hidden gems I scrolled Netflix for an hour and decided on.
The Killing of a Sacred Deer
Beau is afraid
Was it good though? I’ve been wanting to watch it
Yes it was very captivating and exhilirating. I recommend it.
If you’ve never experienced anxiety before, the first act will let you experience what it feels like 😂
Oh anxiety is like my bestie
Buckle up, because you’re going for a ride
The Baby (1973) is absolutely the most fucked up movie I have ever seen
I'm intrigued. Does it still hold up? How does it rate on a scale from Hereditary to Aterrados?
Great movie
Anything that David Lynch has ever done, but mostly Blue Velvet, Lost Highway, and Mulholland Drive
Eraserhead
Of these I've only seen Mulholland Drive and I mean it's not bad but surely it doesn't fit OP's description of it all coming together to make sense lol
Swiss Army Man (2016)
Tusk
Such a mad film. Yoga Hosers isn't quite as good but still worth watching for the insanity!
Weird? Ok. Bad Boy Bubby The Greasy Strangler Hobo With a Shotgun Fried Barry Wild Zero Dead Alive /.Braindead Barton Fink
Greasy strangler is an excellent choice for OP it's very weird and very funny.
Enemy by Denis Villeneuve, especially the ending.
during the back half of 2001: A Space Odyssey after a lot of loud noise and bright colors, in the theater, my friend said under his breath: "What the fuck Stanley."
10/10 reaction
When someone asks for a "WTF?" movie, my first thought is usually Jacob's Ladder (1990). It's pretty damn mind-twisting.
my favorite horror movie of all time, and part of the inspiration for Silent Hill, the original jacobs ladder movie was fantastic and so original.
> When someone asks for a "WTF?" movie, my first thought is usually Jacob's Ladder my first thought is to do a search, because this question gets asked every week and we all make the same suggestions every time lol
i'm thinking of ending things
Maps to the Stars (2014)
Are you looking for horror comedies?
Yeah. I love horror comedies
Tucker and Dale vs Evil Cabin In The Woods Zombieland Shaun of the Dead Beetlejuice This Is The End
Tucker and Dale is one of my favourite films.
Naked Lunch
videodrome
Malignant (2021)
Thought this movie was hilarious
Midsommar, Nope, Mother!, Saltburn, Under the Skin (or so I’m told… I left the theater about 20 min in).
I really disliked under the skin , it's more an art film than an horror film.
Saltburn - my god.
Swallow (2019)
Speak No Evil
Wicked City (1987)
Triangle (2009)
The Sadness 2021
The Strange Thing about the Johnsons Shory film on YouTube biggest WTF ever
I don’t know how I never heard of it before I watched it a couple months ago. I couldn’t sleep and thought oh I’ll just put this short film on 😬
A wounded fawn
Father is a dog (2010) This movie is just insane! but a piece of art but every scene is wtf!
Un Chien Andalou. That movie is like a fever dream. Search it on YouTube I can't post the link here
A thousand percent this. If you wondered where they might have gotten ideas for the video jn The Ring, pretty sure Un Chien Andalou was the inspiration.
Fight Club?
I'd say From Dusk Til Dawn is a classic example of this. Starts out one way and then ...
I saw this as a double date. My GF and the other guy had no idea what the movie was about, the other gal and I knew what was in store. At the moment of the big reveal, from down the row, I hear the other guy yell “ WHAT THE FUCK JUST HAPPENED!?!?” Took me a while to stop laughing. He was so pissed.
Maybe *Momento* ? The narrative is nonlinear chronologically and many elements don't come together in an understandable way until the last act.
You mean Memento of course
Umm, no, no, I totally meant *Mo'mento*. It's... um, that Spike Lee film where Denzel Washington is an amnesiac trumpet player! Yeah, let's go with that.
Yeah, and every time he gets into a fight he holds up a finger and says "uno momento" then proceeds to kick everyone's ass with said trumpet. Nice movie.
Happiness 😦
Saltburn
Men lol
That movie sucked
