I think the best films with a twist are the ones where you're not even expecting a twist, a who dunnit is good fun but the real gaspers are the ones where you're not even expecting it!

Ive found a film called Deadly Strangers 1974 on google starring Hayley Mills which sounds a similar plot but I don't think it was that film. It is now driving me mad!

Shutter Island

Arlington Road, Seven, The Others, Memento, The Mist and Unbreakable all have quite downbeat twists which I always find stick with you longer.

Fracture with Antony Hopkins and Ryan gosling.

High crimes. With Ashley judd Morgan freeman and the lovely Jim caviezel.

ABeautifulLie · 17/04/2014 23:28

storynanny, was it 'Never talk to strangers'?

ODearMe · 17/04/2014 23:31

Sixth sense

WowserBowser · 17/04/2014 23:34

storynanny - was it color of night? With Bruce Willis

WowserBowser · 17/04/2014 23:39

Oh no, this is an old thread so I'll guess we'll never know.

Primrose123 · 17/04/2014 23:40

I second Shutter Island.

place marking :)

mmack · 26/09/2014 22:27

Storynana, could the movie you are thinking of be A Kiss Before Dying, with Sean Young and Matt Dillon?

SecretRed · 26/09/2014 22:31

I loved The Prestige. It's my favourite film.

juneybean · 26/09/2014 22:36

The Others, The Tourist

hollyisalovelyname · 05/10/2014 08:56

Rupreski I loved 'No Way Out'. Great twist.

TheHappyCamper · 05/10/2014 09:33

For me it's got to be Butterfly on a wheel. I totally did not see that coming!

Also love unbreakable and Shutter Island.

I now want to watch Primal fear Smile

Shamelessly place marking

Nataleejah · 19/11/2015 16:54

Ink is very cool film

SmellyFartado · 01/12/2015 10:18

I got Shutter Island straightaway.

Usual suspects was amazing.

To this day, I still can't quite work out Twelve Monkeys

I remember sitting down to watch Vanilla Sky with my husband and a friend many years ago and all of us being slightly bemused and not really knowing what was going on. My husband, who for an intelligent man is hopeless with even slightly complicated film plots, disappeared upstairs to do his ironing about 15 mins before it ended. When he came downstairs again, our friend and I were raving about what a brilliant film it was and how it all made perfect sense etc etc. He was really cross!

The Others is a good one too, as is Identity (the one with John Cusack, whom I have a bit of a crush on).

ohnonotanothernewbie · 01/12/2015 11:40

Another vote here for Identity, brilliant film. Also Orphan, but it's a bit dark!

DurhamDurham · 01/12/2015 13:40

Shutter Island was great the first time around and even though the element of surprise had gone I enjoyed it equally the second time.

I watched the original Wicker Man a few weeks back (I haven't seen the newer one) and although it was beyond weird I stuck with it and the ending was a good one.

TaintForTheLikesOfWe · 01/12/2015 14:05

Jean de Florette/Manon des Sources. The book is The Water Of The Hills by Marcle Pagnol and it's the only book that has made me cry. Brilliant twist at the end. Good film. Excellent book.

CheerfulYank · 01/12/2015 14:36

Not a scary one, but surprisingly I didn't guess the twist in Crazy Stupid Love with Steve Carrell.
