The best and worst movie twists
Today is April Fool’s Day — a day notorious for pranksters.
It happens at the movies, too, all the time. We’ll be led down one path and suddenly the story makes an about-face. But there are good twists and bad ones, and the line between the two is hotly debated.
In the spirit of the day, here’s a look at some of my favorite (and least favorite) movie twists (and if you haven’t seen any of these films, then WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD).
The best
“The Sixth Sense”“Brazil”
“The Crying Game”
“Psycho”slight
“Memento”
“The Usual Suspects”
The worst
“The Village”“The Happening”
“Planet of the Apes”
“High Tension”
