      @@catisreckless4647 tbf, the ending for the Mist movie was completely changed from the novella. In the novella there is no twist ending, after reaching the car they just keep driving till they decide to take refuge for the night, where David (the main character) hears a voice on a radio that just says "Hartfort" and the group drives off into the mist towards Hartford, and that's where the book ends. Granted if you're talking for the rest of the movie which IIRC was fairly accurate to the novella I can't say anything for that.

    I remember The Arrival. I loved its twist. It also shows how different their minds were. She wasn’t the only one studying the language. They were studying the language together, yet she was the only one who started to see time non-linear way. Also, the whole “dead daughter” thing was awesome, because we thought it was a flashback, but in reality it was a flashforward the whole time.

How the T-850's goal was never to stop Skynet or prevent Judgement Day, the rise of the machines was entirely inevitable. The mission all along was just to get John and Kate together and make sure they survive to form the Resistance. The reveal of them both being not at some central nerve center of Skynet, but a presidential nuclear bunker, is brilliant.

    Maybe not a plot twist per se, but I really didn’t expect “Inglorious Basterds” to go the way it did at the end. I was just expecting another war style film with a Tarantino spin on it, not a complete re-write of how the war was ended.

The flight attendant said " don't worry, he was saying the plane is going to burn in mid air so everyone should leave and that's just crazy". Keep in mind that this is the same thing that happened to him at the baseball game when he saw who was gonna die and stopped it but everyone slowly died one after the other(him and his gf were the only 2 left).

The only two 'survivors' of the fifth movie are on an airplane in the final scene, in what would've been a 'riding off into the sunset' trope. They cut together unused footage of the first film into it seamlessly, making it seem as if the two were on that infamous flight that kickstarted the Final Destination franchise in the first place. Even though I wanted the couple to live, the twist blew me out of the water enough that I was satisfied.

    "Derailed" (with Clive Owen and Jennifer Anniston) really throws you a curveball. I won't spoil it!

    Us ripped off The Simpsons. I remember watching that movie and thinking “I saw this on the Treehouse of Horror, Bart’s “evil twin” is hidden in the basement and it turns out that Bart was the evil twin all along.

      The "Doppelgängers/Twins have been switched" is quite an old trope and a staple of the doppelgänger genre, so I wouldn't say that they ripped off The Simpsons, they just used the same old trope. That said, unless you never have seen or read something with a "Doppelgänger/Evil Twin/Evil Duplicate/copy" plot before, this kind of twists aren't surprising, they are amongst the most predictable twists in horror stories, similar to "the bad guys isn't really dead yet".
