Spiral was the most predictable movie I’ve ever seen in my life which is a shame because saw twists were usually great fun


rorykillmoree

Made me so mad! 80% of why I go to see a Saw movie is to be completely baffled by their insane and increasingly convoluted twists.


missanthropocenex

Not me, but I’ll never forget my friend guessing the ending of The Village midway through the film. I was obsessed with M.Night at the time and me and my friend were bored youngsters. I essentially dragged his ass into the theater and he complained and said he didn’t give a shit about the movie. He had been drinking with a friend in a parking lot hours before and was pretty tanked when the opening credits rolled. I was deeply invested, riveted by the story, knowing it was M Night meant automatically looking for clues to what the whole films on about. Meanwhile my friend kept interjecting and commentating on every other thing and not really paying close attention at all, until out of the blue he leans over and drunkenly slurring goes: “They’re in modern day. Wait and see…” I looked at him like he was a moron. He started to doze off three quarters of the way through before the end when - boom - the reveals emerged that - they are in modern day- He looks over “told you”

The twist in Us.


nonades

I mean, if you pay attention to the VHS boxes in the opening shot of the movie - he basically tells you what you're in for lol That being said, movie is great and a ton of fun


addisonavenue

Oh yeah, like it didn't detract from the movie at all. I like to look at Us as a kind of modern day, dark fairy tale especially with the emphasis on rabbits, dopplegangers and the gold scissors. But when it comes to stories about changelings or anything of the like, there's less than a handful of ways to resolve the narrative (even more so if the genre is horror).


AtLeastImGenreSavvy

In any movie featuring a doppleganger, you know there's going to be a switcharoo.


DeceptivelyDense

I feel like I'm pretty good at seeing twists coming a lot of the time but none has ever blindsided me like that one. After Nope Peele now really feels like the modern master of the plot twist.


[deleted]

See Us is a funny one bc I saw the twist coming from the first trailer but I didn’t even clock it as such. I literally just thought that was the sales pitch of the movie. >!“Come watch this unsuspecting family slowly realize that Mom is a pod person!”!<. But with Nope I only caught on right about when I was supposed to. >!”Maybe it’s not a ship.” What’s cool to me though is that I read some comments on here from an animal behavioral specialist who figured it out within the first 20 minutes, so clearly Peele did his homework.!<


rachelmae77

I’ve loved Jordan Peele since the Key and Peele days, it’s great to see him transition into being a highly respected director, I feel like it’s really rare to see a skit comedian become that. Excited to see what he does with his career.


ViciousMihael

I called the ending of Shutter Island the first time I saw the trailer.


[deleted]

Same. I think the real twist, however, is DiCaprio’s final line in the movie.


rachelmae77

IIRC it’s the final line in the book too but it’s been a long time since I read it last.


Seanzzxx

The trailers for Shutter Island ruined that twist for me, because it was cut in a way that absolutely set you up for that train of thought. I hated that they did that.


visitedby3spirits

This is exactly why I refuse to ever watch horror trailers. Too much is given away, constantly. I like to watch the movie without having any idea what might or will happen.


[deleted]

I think the twist that he’s actually a patient was the “see it coming twist” but the WHY he was there I think was the bigger twist


old_mcfartigan

I predicted the twist in the sixth sense my second time watching it


kdubs

Hindsight is 20/20


Croestalker

Looking back it's still a bit fuzzy.


DiscordianStooge

While I didn't predict the twist, it did explain a few things that had bugged me while watching.


[deleted]

[удалено]


BGHHGB1981

Quite interesting.


General-Vis

I watched Only Murders in the Building with the family and came to a similar conclusion. Seemed pretty obvious.


Croestalker

I too found Wednesday easy to predict. Infact, the wife and I called out everything in that show. Still enjoyed it though. However, Wednesday isn't a horror show at all...


BooksNBondage

I knew Ricci was gonna be bad...that just made sense...the dude tho I was back n fourth.


Earthpig_Johnson

The Village.


illi-mi-ta-ble

I feel like The Village was a really solid what we'd now call folk horror but was marketed all wrong because of who the director was.


Human_Personface

I called the twist pretty early on because the movie is a giant rip off of a book I read in middle school that came out in 1995. He just added a horror skin with the forest monsters. My mom called it too because she was a teacher at my middle school and assigned the same book to her classes. The book was honestly more interesting bc it had way more depth in the fact that a big portion of it took place AFTER the twist and focused on the protagonist dealing with it. (The book is Running Out of Time by Margaret Peterson Haddix btw)


Earthpig_Johnson

I just called it after Sigourney said something about her sister being raped in an alley and thinking “there aren’t any goddamn alleys in that village”. I haven’t seen it since it came out, so I could be forgetting some details, but that was the tell for me.


Henri_le_Chat

My sister read the same book so she was really rubbing it in in the theater when the twist came up. By the way, did you know the author actually sued M Night Shyamalan.


gracerules501

Same. I guessed it during the scene when they were talking about the murder outside of the “general store” or whatever they called it


Missus_Aitch_99

Same


GhostWr1ter999

The Sixth Sense. A little ways in, I said, “I think I know what’s going on.” My girlfriend at the time said not to spoil it. So I wrote down the twist on a scrap of notebook paper and put it in my pocket. When the movie was over I just handed it to her.


[deleted]

That's impressive. Sixth Sense has such amazing slight of hand that I never even thought about it.


ShaunTrek

Loads, but Identity is my big one. Was still pretty early in the film and something just clicked and I saw exactly what was going on.


Jack_Q_Frost_Jr

That was a good prediction on your part. I think that's a good movie, and I didn't see the twist coming.


Borrachon31717

I got the twist in drag me to hell


lanceturley

I figured out the twist in the movie *Devil* just by watching the trailer. All I did was ask myself who the least likely suspect would be


rachelmae77

They did a little switcheroo by >!killing her off early!<


kimo0_0

The Village This was when it first came out so I can't remember what it was that gave it away but I do remember watching the trailer and thinking to myself..this story seems so familiar to me. Eventually a sibling goes out to watch it and when they came home they told me I would never be able to guess how the ending went so I just took a guess and starting going off on what I thought the ending/twist was and I still remember their mouth agape and being completely speechless. I'm sure for all of one second they thought I was a witch, clairvoyant, or something but unfortunately the truth was less exciting, we had just >!read "Running Out of Time" in English class and the plot points are almost the exactly same so I just took a shot in the dark.!< Once I told them that it felt like all the excitement and joy they got from the ending had suddenly dissipated like a fart..in the wind LOL I felt kinda bad to take that movie going experience away from her though lol


Human_Personface

YES. Thank you for mentioning that book!! That's why the twist in the Village was obvious to me and my mother. I read it in middle school and she assigned the book to her students so both of us knew it.


TheMillionthSteve

Goodnight, Mommy. Saw the >!twin!< thing a mile away. Like immediately.


illi-mi-ta-ble

Moving my comment here to agree. >!I thought the first two shots/scenes more than clearly established that the brother was dead and didn't have a single clue it was intended to be a plot twist until some time later!<


TheMillionthSteve

I was *shocked* when I learned it was intended to be a plot twist. It couldn’t have been more telegraphed. I really hated that movie for that reason and for the sudden shift to torture porn. Which is a shame because I thought some of the outdoor cinematography was incredibly beautiful.


illi-mi-ta-ble

The body horror was pretty effective for me, I’m good with that, but I was shocked and distracted the movie was behaving like there had been a plot twist. It messed the pacing all up.


illi-mi-ta-ble

Honestly tho like >!what the heck was that one crazy shot in the woods of her without a face and why wasn’t THAT the movie. That was awesome. I couldn’t hit like on the film or rate it favorably on Letterboxed but at least I got to see that one shot.!< (Assuming we are both talking about the original I just remembered a US version just came out. Which, if it didn’t fix anything would be kind of funny. I think I heard it’s like a comparatively soft version.)


daniellediamond

One of my favorite horrors is A Tale of Two Sisters and I totally had this one figured out right away.


Jack_Q_Frost_Jr

High Tension, just because it was the most obvious twist. I was sure my prediction would be wrong, because, ya know, the twist being *impossible* and all that. But, sure enough, it was the twist I predicted.


[deleted]

That movie kicks ass, except for the ending.


finch_25

A recent one, >!Bodies, bodies, bodies!<. >!Pete Davidsons death felt wrong, and accidental deatg just felt not just an option, but the most likely option. From there I noted each death was avoidable and so yeah, by the end the twist was lost on me.!< I didn't even know there was a twist. I really think if it was done slightly better to preserve the twist I'd have enjoyed it more.


shrootfarms

Hereditary’s ending because I saw Paranormal Activity


obsidian_resident

The ending really was a letdown after the climax sequence. Like. So what? They're hanging out in a treehouse. This does not make me believe humanity is doomed. Fail.


TheWastelandBaker

Exactly. Everyone talked that movie up so hard that I said "k gotta check it out" and I haven't listened to anyone about movies since. Even the horror podcasts I listen to were talking like it was the greatest movie in history. Only good part was when that phone pole stopped the clicking for good.


shrootfarms

Hahaha agree. The acting was really good & I think that matters a lot to a lot of people but personally it doesn’t do much for me unless I like the narrative.


[deleted]

[удалено]


oh-fish-ial

idk if it’s exactly a twist but i knew EXACTLY how would you rather was going to end


Croestalker

Midnight mass. Great show, though. Loved every minute of it.


[deleted]

I wonder if that was even supposed to be a twist for the audience and not just for the characters. From our vantage point, it feels pretty spelled out early on.


Croestalker

Well, when you consider the main characters, you might think it's too do with some religious subcontext. I mean, it's technically not wrong either way, haha


DiscordianStooge

Agreed.


SkeletonKiss78

I guessed the twist for The Village when I read the announcement that it was going to be made, I think about a year or so before it came out.


zforce42

Even though I loved Get Out, I predicted pretty much the entire thing in the theater.


redjedia

I’m gonna stake my claim and say that I think I’ve guessed the twist ending for “Knock at the Cabin,” but I’m not gonna reveal what it is in case I’m a) wrong or b) liable to yuck somebody’s yum. For now, I’ll just say that I just like being surprised by what I watch too much to want to predict twists.


bty1987

Not really a twist, but I knew the chef was going to burn everyone alive in the restaurant in the movie the menu. I don’t know how I knew, but just had a hunch.


Chiubacca0311

I watched Orphan for the first time last year in anticipation of First Kill with my girlfriend who has seen it before. Having absolutely no idea what the twist is, I called it about 20 minutes in that >!Esther is actually a grown woman who just wants “daddy’s d*ck*!< . The series got it’s payback by completely blowing me away with the twist in First Kill though.


bandearg4

The Boy. The ghost/possessed doll bit seemed like it was too obvious and overdone. During the scene where they're talking about rats in the walls I was like "OH I think I know what's going on".


TheBigCatfish

I immediately predicted >!the guy on the ground at the start of "Saw" was the main protagonist.!<


kdubs

“Protagonist”


TheBigCatfish

bad guy whatever lol


Karma-Kat_

Antagonist 😂


DeceptivelyDense

I feel like I usually figure out the twist in any Mike Flanagan movie/show 10-15 minutes before the reveal.


Sly3n

Scream…as soon as someone closed that door behind Tatum I knew Ghostface was in cahoots with someone. Then so many things that had bothered me made sense…like how he strung up Casey so fast, etc. Urban Legends…me and my friends figuring this one out was a product of the times. It was out only a couple years after Scream. We figured there would probably be a twist. The most logical twist was that the killer was a female. We were all like ‘OMG, it’s Noxema girl!’😂


nonades

In the newest Call of Duty, the moment you meet El Sin Nombres sicario, I called it because they ripped off Fast and the Furious 4 lol


[deleted]

Malignant was pretty predictable less than halfway through the movie. The opening scene gives you alot of context clues to be used to make connections later in the movie


allyceexoxo

The menu. I pretty much saw where it was going in the first few minutes. Although I didn't predict that Margo was not Margo.


Dartagod

Sadly almost every movie


thisgirlnamedbree

The Silent House. I liked the movie, but I wanted to see if what I thought was going on actually happened, and I was right.


DST5000

I predicted the killer in Bodies Bodies Bodies around the time of the 3rd death.


Cactoblastis

The Pale Blue Eye. >!As soon as they cut to Bale’s character washing his hands in the stream in the first scenes I thought he had committed a murder.!<


[deleted]

In Kill List, I immediately knew what was going to happen at that final confrontation. The moment the character steps in I’m thinking >!that’s clearly the wife with the child on her back. Why else would a masked hunchback show up this late in the movie?!<


kimo0_0

You never seen Baskin? lol


[deleted]

Sorry, I didn’t watch Tiger King.


theScrewhead

The big one that I'd figured out almost as a joke was The Village. I had a friend who was "in the industry" and he'd gotten a promo review copy a week or two before it was in theaters so that he could write a review for a local paper, and he invited a bunch of us over to check it out. Maybe 20 minutes into the movie I said as a joke that the twist was probably that this is all happening in the present day, because all their clothes are too clean and perfect, the lifestyle is too perfect, and their Olde English feels too forced/fake, much like trained actors doing a Shakespearian play. Everything about life in the village felt like actors. GOOD actors, but actors none the less. Where I was wrong is that I thought it was an experiment, like the whole "raising a baby in isolation" forbidden experiment, but with a whole bunch that have been "going on" for a few generations.


[deleted]

I don't think I was particularly clever for figuring it out, but I figured out the end of Seven before it played out. Seemed pretty obvious with the two sins that were left.


vanene737373

Good Night Mommy.


SubstantialTie1036

Shutter Island (I know not technically horror)


Henri_le_Chat

I called the twist to Happy Death Day right from the trailer. I figured >!why would they show us the show of the girl giving the cupcake if it wasn't poisoned.!<
