I mean. . . Lecouffe-Deharme is certainly a better artist than Goodkind is a writer. Also not nearly as much of a dick.

100% agree about The Village.

Especially with the cast, I feel like they snatched defeat from the jaws of victory.

As a young kids who saw it with friends all we talked about was the “Soylent Green is made out of people” moment but as an adult and a long time ICU nurse the scene with Edward G. choosing to die in a room bathed in his favorite colors, listening to beloved music with wonderful nature scenes surrounding him is…

I don’t think there is a way Burton’s twist makes sense. I think it was a cool visual to end the movie and nobody really knew how to get there so they just omitted any attempted explanation.

I think K in Blade Runner 2049-er is a twist. The film sets up the audience to believe K is Deckard’s child and “the one.” All the stuff that happens at the orphanage, like discovering the toy horse where he ‘remembers’ hiding it, leads us (and him) to believe he’s the one. It’s not until someone mentions that…

I don’t get the vitriol this film gets, the twist wasn’t that surprising, but overall, i real kind of like that movie.

It has never been an issue for any of it’s various and sundry movies but the ending of The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is a twist ending. It goes to show what happens when a twist is spoiled and it becomes a cliche. Same goes for the original Planet of the Apes movie.

Yeah, Life was a terrible movie filled with stupid people making awful choices and anyone that staggered to the end of that turd could see the “twist” from a mile away. What is it with this site trying to push such a piece of poo? Like over and over and over.

The Village and The Mist both are in the wrong list.

Could see that ending Light-Years away. I actively praying to myself they wouldn’t take that route.... Annnnnd they did.

I agree. I think he made it a ‘twist’ because the studio insisted the film had to have one. Ivy’s adventures are what that film was about.

I saw The Village, and then heard people talking about the twist, and I honestly had no idea what they were talking about. For whatever reason, I assumed right from the beginning of the movie that the movie took place in a self-isolated community in the modern world rather than in the past (I grew up near Amish…

A few more candidates for the worst list:

Are you fucking kidding me. The Mists ending is universally praised for just how gut wrenching it is. Even Stephen King praises it for being fucking brutal.

I’ve never seen “The Village”. But in elementary school our class had read “Running Out of Time”, the premise of which is that a young girl finds out that it’s not actually the 1840s, it’s the 1990s and she basically lives in a museum expedition. When “The Village” came out and I saw the commercials for it, the twist…

Would Ava’s (sudden but inevitable) betrayal at the end of Ex Machina or K finding out he’s “not the one” at the end of Blade Runner 2049 be considered twists? How do they rate against the others on the list?

I feel like I’ve shouted myself incoherent about this, but LIFE IS NOT A GOOD MOVIE. Every time this website lauds that gimmicky failure they cede their critical authority.

switch Life and Mist and youd have a good list.

I’m surprised that the twist at the end of 12 Monkeys (the film) didn’t make the list.
