I worked at Blockbuster when Wild Things came out on video. I had countless people complain they didn't understand the ending. I asked them if they watched the credits all the way through. They said no. I told them the whole thing is explained in the credits. They had to rent it again. Cue evil laugh.

I always loved the reveal that Doofy was the killer in Scary Movie just for the Usual Suspects homage. It doesn’t have quite the shock value, but still a lot of fun.

Wait, do people generally consider The Orphan a dumb movie? I rather enjoyed it and thought that lead actress was phenomenal in it. If you watch it over again knowing the twist ending, you start to notice that the actress, who really is a child obviously, does these small little "adult" mannerisms every now and then which is brilliant in my opinion, because you realize they gave you hints of it through-out the movie... But that actress absolutely nails the adult mannerisms. Really great acting in my opinion.

I expect to see the last Final Destination in here. As a stealth prequel to the 1st even i was impressed

You should do a video on sequels that ruin the plot of the original movie.

When a parody has a better twist than what it's parodying, then it's a smart movie.

I remember the Saw twist. I was repeatedly saying "no fucking way" in the theater someone was laughing at me 🤣

SAW II has such a good plot twist that the “live” cameras are actually prerecorded one day before, and SAW IV had the most original plot twist that the whole movie’s Saw game was happening at the exact same time as SAW III and the games were related to each other (This means they had to plan out the plot twist two movies in advance!!)

Orphan was nowhere near dumb. Vera Farmiga showed a great acting plus the main villain was amazing. Its twist only made it better. Dead Silence and The Boy aren't dumb too. Also, Sleepaway Camp was so silly and the acting was awful but that twist ending made it one of the greatest horrors of the 80's

i'm not sure you can classify the scary movie as dumb when that's it's entire point. it's a parody.

I mean, the Saw sequels are not masterpieces but are really fun to watch and in every movie are good plot twists. But I wouldn’t call them “dumb”. Messy? Maybe. But not “dumb”.

Having not seen the Usual Suspects before, I was genuinely shocked by the ending of Scary Movie. I think that twist alone is what makes it a classic, and why I keep coming back to it years later

the saw franchise was like a goofy tv series it was awesome

Orphan is far from being a 'dumb' movie. Excellently brooding psychological horror, turned into a frenzied fight to survive, superbly paced. It's stark, cold (literally, it's Midwinter, and figuratively), and creepy, in a way that almost makes your skin crawl, and the twist is delightfully startling.

"Dead Silence" is so underrated! 😱💙

It's wild how Orphan is actually, loosely based, on a real story.

I saw the whole saw franchise, and that Hoffmans´s smile in the glass coffin is the most villainous thing in the series

The Doofy reveal in its own way elevated Scary Movie ahead of Scream for me which is weird. Having the cop be the killer, the reporter his accomplice, the Billy and Stu archetypes be silly high schoolers copy catting an actual serial killer and the twist that "there never was a Doofy" took what was fine about Scream and gave it a better ending. Sure it's riffing on Usual Suspects but I wasn't expecting a silent nod to Primal Fear. The ending somehow made what was a spoof of a satire on horror movies released 4 years ago by the same company actually better than the more serious send up.

Plot twist : The Mayans were dyslexic and the world's really going to end in 2021.

Dead Silence scared the hell outta me growing up.

Forgive me but the twilight ending was basically the same. It’s just that in the book we don’t “see” or “read” it happening. I do admit it was nice the added that scene but yeah, that happened in the book it was just a conversation instead of an actual part in the book.

The bigger plot twist is that the movie Orphan actually came true! XD

I've read the twilight books, and that last scene is actually shot for shot exactly how it is in the book. All the fights they have on screen are described in vicious detail... Then Alice reveals all that just happened was a vision. They couldn't deviate because the fans are, as you say, RABID

Genuinely my favourite 10 WhatCulture compilation. Thank you because this was fun

I feel like 'Final Destination 5' should be on this list.

I think repo men had the best twist ending ever. It 100% saved the movie. My jaw dropped.

saw v has a minor twist in the game everyone could have survived if they work together

The Skeleton Key definitely deserved to be on the list.

Does anyone else just want a channel where Jules gives us pep talks? 🥰

I remember seeing breaking dawn part 2 and when the final battle was revealed “to just be a dream/vision” there was an actual audible groan in the theater...

Here commenting entirely because of the end card. That was very sweet Jules and really made the mindlessly easy task of watching a video on KZfaq a little brighter.

In my opinion the original firday the 13th twist on it's own is just a decent twist. But when you add the fact that Jason became one of the biggest horror icons and is the villain in every sequel/remake. It makes it iconic. It's one of the only twists that will always live on. Because each new generation of horror fans will only know Jason and assume he was always the killer. And as famous as the twist is the series itself and Jason are even more famous. So it will continue to stay fresh for as long as the series exists.

Snap! Forgot that Bill Murray was in *"Wild Things."* Reapraisal is at hand.

A Jules video to start the morning is great. Thank you man, I needed that

Thanks for the lovely message at the end! ❤️

I'm pretty sure I've seen them use this exact same list with the title "Great movies ruined by dumb plot twists"

I totally thought Shattered was going to be on here. A 90s B-movie that I sat numbly through, only to have a twist at the end that left me in awe that nothing like that would have occurred to me. As, you know, plot twists do, I guess.

Am I the only one who liked The Boy? I always feel like it haha

Your end comments always make me cry, in a good way! Thank you

Is 1:57am and my seven month old daughter is finally sleeping in my arms while I watching countless “What Culture Videos’ drinking a brew! I’m rock n roll! Hope all that read this pointless comment are doing ok and are well despite the crazy world we currently inhabit.

Yeah, about that Friday the 13th "plot twist"...NO. You never even learn about ol' dead boy Jason until after you've met Mrs. Voorhees (who is never even mentioned until she pops up in the last act) and she talks about her son, so you do not watch the movie thinking resurrected Jason is the killer. At least, not when the movie came out. Only years down the line, after he'd become the antagonist in the sequels and people associated the films with him (even starting to call them "Jason movies") would anyone retroactively go back to watch the first one, assuming Jason would be the killer and then, at the end, be like "what the hell? It's his mom?" You can't really it a plot twist when it was never even a part of the movie to begin with.

That was a plot twist at the end of this video, with the narrator sharing such a positive message. Thanks m8!

The best plot twist has to be 2020

As a person that loves the Saw franchise, I'd like to say that Saw V being called "a dumb movie" is the most subjective term to use in this particular film. I personally loved the fifth entry in the series & will take that statement to my grave.

‘Saw 5’ did have a twist. The players kill each other getting through the games only for the last two to discover they weren’t supposed to kill each other.

How dare you! Sleepaway Camp is GENIUS! INCREDIBLE!

agent strahms death in saw 5 pissed me off. lol. the way he survived the first trap was awesome...but to only be crushed at the end, sad

loved the video and love YOU, Jules! you're the best. ❤

Can I see at least one fucking video without annoying ads???

Amazing video and dead silence is my favourite horror movie of all time and I love the twists at the end Edward wife Ellie is a living doll too.

I was so relieved by the plot twist in Orphan. It was starting to make my skin crawl when it seemed to be creeping toward pedophilia. Although the husband was still looking pretty skeevy at the end.

Most of the movies on that list are true except for orphan I consider that a twisted masterpiece but another movie i wished u added was cry_wolf 2005 the movie is cringey and has a cheesy plot but the end gave it all the energy it needed to become a movie I actually like even if it is directed by Jeff wadlow who made fantasy island and truth or dare that are somewhat good in my opinion.

Orphan wasn't a dumb movie. what made this extra scary -- I was at work, watching this movie, and my work, a group home and one of the residents actually is diagnosed with the Orphan rare disease. that alone, holds a special place in my heart. the movie was generic, not dumb... but the ending was epic

Maybe I'm abnormal, but Dead Silence actually petrified me. The dummies were creepy yeah, but it was the _inevitability_ of the villain that scared me. That, once she's got you, there's literally nowhere safe, anywhere, ever. It's the same nauseating dread Final Destination 2 also filled me with.

10 Great Movies With Horrible Plot Twists: 1. High Tension thru 10. Haute Tension

The end of the video send off I almost drew a tear thanks Jules for being great

That "be good to yourself" message was the wholesome I needed!

The best twist of this video was the dose of positivity I got at the end. Well done.

Fun fact: Seth Rogan brought the studio execs edible brownies and waited for all that kush to kick in before telling them what he wanted to make

Predestination with Ethan Hawke left me SPEECHLESS.

Love how he calls the Volturi the 'evil-doing other vampires' 😂😂

that pep talk at the end got me through my shift thank you for that

You are constantly an absolute banger of a human being. Don't ever change!

Saw 5's ending is awesome in the sense that Hoffman believes so strongly that Strahm won't get in the box that he's willing to risk his life on it and the plot twist is that if Strahm could have closed the jigsaw case if he had only gotten in the box but instead Strahm forces Hoffman into it resulting in his own death

As soon as I saw the trailer for The Boy my 1st thought was 'He's alive and in the walls.'

I would have definitely included The Uninvited and A Perfect Getaway

Dead silence scared the shit out of me but that may be more due to my phobia of ventriloquist puppets

Sleepaway Camp is still a pretty silly fun slasher regardless of the twist IMO. It just makes it a lot more memorable. It certainly wasn't bad a flick.

I like the happy pep talks at the end. :)

That pep talk at the end really made me feel good 🙂

When the twilight final “ fight “ came out to be a vision that was genius I still remember being amazed 😂

My 'Mandela Effect' moment- I 'remembered' the fight scene being in the book when I saw the movie 🤷🏽‍♀️

YOU, are the Legend Jules. 👍

I've seen most of these and those were all awesome.

I'd put Annihilation in this list, it's a very dull movie right until the plot twist, which was genius

The boy was worth every second of my time for that plot twist and that plot twist alone

Hey now! _Sleepaway Camp_ has some iconic lines! "Wasn't that nice of me, hmm?" "Why, of course! I believe there's a whooole bag." "Eat shit and die, Ricky!" "Eat shit and live, Bill." And of course "HEY ANGELA, WHY ARE YOU SO FUCKED UP?"

I think the biggest plot twist I’ve seen in a movie is the movie The Skeleton Key!!!!!

The Lego Movie. For roughly the first half, it seems like just a standard, "okay but nothing special" kiddie flick. Then things start going meta and gradually we realise that the protagonist is standing in for someone else. What at first appeared to be just a slightly silly fantasy tale turns into a touching exploration of the relationship between a father and his son. But it never loses that touch of humour which prevents it from descending into narm territory.

Lol about Breaking Dawn... the way I describe it to people is that the only decent bit of the entire film series, is a bit that doesn't actually happen. Sums it up nicely.

If I didn’t know any better, I’d think this channel was paid to market these movies. This is like the 4th list with, “The Boy”, a movie I never heard of until WhatCulture starting showing up in my newsfeed.

I saw The Boy, That plot twist really got me

I thought PANDORUM would be here...

Nobody who saw the original Friday the 13th back when it came out thought Jason was the killer. The audience had no idea who the killer was. Mrs Voorhees being the killer was such a surprise because nobody expected a sweet faced, middle aged woman to be an axe murderer. Jason was pretty much a non factor in the first movie.

The ending to Sleepaway Camp left my jaw on the floor for a few minutes.

The Doofy reveal was one of my favorites when i was younger, which is funny because the usual suspects twist is my favorite 😆

Now you should do 10 Genius Movies with Dumb Plot Twists

Won't lie, there's times where I watch Saw V that I still expect a twist at the end.

Great list as usual! I actually thought ORPHAN was a very decent horror film and NOT dumb at all. WILD THINGS, while I agree is WAY over-the-top with its convoluted plotting and twists, is still very imaginative and almost works as clever parody of noir thrillers. I forgot Bill Murray was in it too!

Dead silence is maybe not an amazing masterpiece. But it's not a gory slasher film, it actually scares you with sound, atmosphere, a little psychology maybe, and that ending.... That ending is amazing.

Umm... orphan and scary movie aren’t dumb, they are great movies. And saw franchise is good too.

jools makes a vid me skips to end for the inspirational part me happy

Wild Things perhaps holds the record for most plot twists in one movie. And it’s certainly not dumb. Unapologetically sweaty and sleazy, yes, but not dumb.

Dead Silence actually scarred me. I can't watch a Jeff Dunham film without imagination a Jalapeños turing evil on a stick

I never thought I would see scary movie in a top ten nor in second place and the reason why is so fun.

The orphan is actually based on a real life event.

I loooove the Doofy plot twist in scary movie, it was a great way to end that movie and round out doofy’s character

I was a total mark for the SAW movies. I remember in the lead-up to 5 there were “leaked” pictures of the protagonist inside of that last glass coffin trap screaming in pain. It was very meta in that sense. There was a “twist” for the hardcore fans who got led astray by the leaks because he never even gets into the glass coffin, which ironically is why he dies.

Saw V was my first Saw movie and I loved it! I didn't see it coming and it was shocking.

I've missed you Jules!
