The 10 Most Shocking Movie Plot Twists of All Time
show list info
Depending on how a plot twist is done, it can make or break the movie. If it's an incongruous twist that doesn't make any sense, as with a lot of Shyamalan's movies, then it can ruin the movie. The same goes for if the twist erases the events of the film. In these cases, it can make the actual act of having watched it feel like a waste of time.
But if a twist makes perfect sense and fills in all the gaps that didn't quite make sense to you while you were watching it and all the mysterious parts that you couldn't quite figure out all suddenly fit together and make a complete piece, then it can result in a great movie. This is a list of the ten most mind-blowing and shocking plot twists in film history.
