I don’t think the “ twist “ to 10 Cloverfield Lane was bad at all. Especially since people going in knew it was a sequel to Cloverfield, which was about ……ALIENS. Gee what a surprise!
I agree but I do see why some didn’t like it. It was originally written having nothing to do with the Cloverfield (it was called “The Cellar”). I think the producers did a great job of adapting the ending to make it take place in the Cloverfield mythos. But it would have also worked as a standalone film without the Cloverfield connections.
I liked the twist too. The movie had you guessing what the situation actually was right up until she escaped. I think some people saw it not realizing the connection or not having seen Cloverfield at all. I can see the ending being really bizarre to them. The only thing that irked me was how she suddenly became an action movie star and took out the alien ship the way she did and was barely hurt after the jeep fell from that height. That was minor thought and doesn't ruin the movie for me at all.
Twist, hmmm... But I really liked the ending personally and was hoping for a sequel where she joins them... The trauma of her brother's death makes her want to see more suffer...
“The Village” is the greatest love story in film history. The couple’s dialogue on the porch is the most loving thing that I’ve ever heard… a tear falls from my cheek at the same time that one does from Ivy’s, every time…
@@melaniemanning2462 Have they ever seen water before? Water is actually a very rare element in the universe. We're just unbelievably lucky to have so much of it.
I really love "Identity". It's a very suspenseful movie. Each character is interesting (even if they're all in the mind of a madman). The twist makes it scarier, when you realizes that the doctor didn't purged the murderous personality from Malcolm. That has horrifying consequences in his mind and reality.
I did too, but I figured out the twist early on and was praying it wasn't what it ended up being. The supernatural entities in the woods angle was honestly way more interesting than the twist ended up being.
I logically explained Signs before and that is that it's quite possible that although they are "super smart" they do not have water where they come from, which explains 1- why they came to earth and 2- that they didn't know they had a weakness to it because they didn't have it on their home world.
The water from Signs was a good twist and I will die on this hill. As advanced as the aliens are, we are one of the only planets that can hold water (that we know of). There’s no reason the aliens would know that water would be harmful to them in that case. So it makes sense that our biggest difference to the other planets they took over, would be their weakness, and why we beat them.
The fan theory is that the creatures are demons sent from Hell AND that the young daughter is some kind of saint or holy person. She left glasses of water around the house because she "knew" that a demon attack was coming. Since she was holy all the water around the house was blessed and so it was holy water and THAT is why it burned the skin of the monsters.
"Identity"wasn't a bad twist. The better twist was the reveal of the killer identity being the kid. Everyone figured Gordon would come back as an apprentice for a while.
The only thing that may save The Boy 2 twist is that Brahm was so dark and twisted that he attracted the demon to the doll. Like when he gets caught so much malice is unleashed it summons a demon
okay my issue with the holloween kills one here is that holloween ends 100% answers why it had to be Lauries daughter an dnot laurie. because their is the realization that Myers doesn't actually want Laurie and is simply just killing anyone that is in his path. I think that kind of makes him more cold. he isnt vengeance or anything the characters attribute to him. he's just evil.
Man so what if in The Village it wasn't historical cosplay but a time anomaly, and the creatures in the woods were extradimensional guardians trying to repair the rift and keep these people in their proper timeline. I refuse to believe that if you were creating an isolationist cult you wouldn't retcon sweatpants and jeans into your 'pioneer' aesthetic.
I don’t think the twist of Spiral is the *who*. It’s the *why*. But I could also be extremely biased, especially because the only Saw movie who’s twists ever made me angry was Jigsaw.
Dear whatculture, you have a few options. 1. Put the title of the movie on the screen while talking about it, not just at the beginning. 2. Put a list of the movie titles in the description. 3. Put in chapter markers for each film with the title of the movie as the name of each chapter. These 3 things can solve the problem of you being assholes and spoiling things for people that would like to check them out before hearing what happens. I can see the title, know if I have seen it, and then skip to the next movie title after adding the current title being talked about to my watch list. One or all of these 3 things are super simple to do. I want to see the fun thoughts about movies, but I don't need you spoiling things without the option to not have it spoiled. That alone will keep me unsubscribed and from even watching the videos. Or I guess there is a 4th option. Just do what you are doing and let me go cry about it in the corner. That is always an option! Edit: and don't put the damn spoiler ending in the title card or intro audio for each movie before taking about it. Good lord.
I loved Halloween Kills. I liked the idea of Haddonfield's fear of a monster turning them into monsters themselves. Edit: Also, come on, "Do your thing 'cuz" was dope, lol. They turned Leatherface babyface.
12:50 the village is based off of a book and is soooooooooooo good 'Running Out of Time' by Margaret Peterson Hadix it's been one of my favorites for at least 15 years
I remember seeing The Village in theater. When I noticed no date was given, I called the twist x.x I have no idea if it made it better or worse knowing the twist just a few minutes into it, but a good amount of suspense was drained.
I figured out the Village's twist when I took a good long look at the tombstone at the beginning and noticed that the dates on it were all in the 20th and 21st centuries...
What you mean? The ending of Would you Rather is what made the movie. That final bit of dread when you realize her brother is dead and she did all that for nothing is what makes the movie great.
I'd say the end of the My Bloody Valentine remake fucking sucks. We spend the entire film following the main guy, a man who has been traumatized by witness the original murders and has come home to handle his father's affairs, and his unjustly blamed for the copycat killings, no matter how much he tries to prove otherwise. The only one on his side is his former girlfriend, but her husband is the biggest douche and also the town sheriff who tries to do so much illegal shit just to arrest him. Towards the end he finds proof that it's her husband who's the real killer and that he's attempting to frame him, only for the ending to pull "Oh it actually was that guy and he's just so crazy he doesn't remember killing them". Additionally, the girl stays with douche sheriff, even though she knows he cheated on her like crazy and continuously talks down to her for not believing that her friend was behind the murders, even though he had no proof. The ending would have been much better if it was the sheriff the whole time, framing the ex of his wife, or if it was someone else entirely who was trying to frame both of them so no one would know who it really was.
I hate when What Culture makes videos like this and they so clearly miss the mark. They act as if what they are saying is the truth amongst horror fans. I mean who picks these movies and are they even a horror fan!? I can say with certainty that more than a few of these movies endings are perfect and it's what makes them the great horror movies they are. So someone should make a compilation video of how many times What Culture got jt wrong.
New beginning had foreshadowed. The chevron on the hockey mask were not the same as Jason's so you should have known that it wasn't Jason from the beginning.
I remember seeing The Devil Inside in theatre's and almost yelling WTF when it ended like it did. I'm all for weird or unexpected endings but that one was dumb.
Do people not read anymore? The entire Anderson Resident Evil films was made into books; which I have a copy of all but the last one. There really is a lot in the book that never made it onto the big screen, and people really should read the books.
Okay, folks, let's do it again. How do you find out you're allergic to something? How did we (humans) find out that certain plants are toxic? How did we discover that certain animals are venomous? You have to interact with it. So how could the aliens have known that water was toxic if no other planet has water?
The universe is full of water. It's a simple, super-common chemical. How could this be the first time that an interstellar civilization has encountered H2O????
@@szekesfehervar2230 Yes. Start with the wikipedia page for water. How do you not already know this? It's one of the most common compounds in the universe.
Honestly, when I first watched The Village, I was pretty pissed at that plot twist. (I was promised a Dark Fantasy/Horror and it was all a sham?!) That being said, I'd like to rewatch the movie again, almost 20 years later, since there was a lot of stuff that went over my head as a kid when I first watched it. I may actually enjoy it now with a different perspective.
Reading through some of these comments just goes to show, we as a ppl like different things & don’t have to agree & that’s ok!! Ppl think, believe, dress, talk, walk etc differently & it’s not gonna change. Anyhoo 😂 I like the majority of the endings of the movies mentioned. I felt The Village’s twist was genius, as well as High Tension, Would You Rather, Saw 3D & Identity. Brahms The Boy, yeah it was ishy dishy fishy lol! Hide and Seek was good. I didn’t like IKWYDLS II at first, but watching it last year, I appreciated it more. Can you do a video on bad final girls, because the ones of today are unlikable & boring & they’re forcing me to root for the villain & I don’t like it 😅
Had no problem with Karen getting killed in Halloween kills (Halloween Ends is a whole other thing) or Sally in TX Chainsaw. Also didn’t mind the endings in Identity or Signs (I might be in the minority on that one). I liked those two movies.
The Devil Inside was such a lazy ending. Even when the site was functional, it didn't provide any further ending. It was just more fluff that did nothing for the story.
I am so glad Halloween kills in on this list. We needed Karen and if they were going to introduce Corey, it should've been in kills. Good trilogy not great. BAD PLANNING
Umm... "Haute Tension?" Seriously, where's that one? Considering that the "twist" completely invalidates nearly all the action that took place before its reveal, as no one can literally be driving two cars at the same time... I was so pissed I threw a drink at the screen and left the theater.
It doesn't, the movie beginning starts with marine recounting what the Marie personality happened. She doesn't realize at the start of the movie she is the killer so is telling the officer her side of the story before realizing she was the killer. Literally starting with "Is it recording..." Before it goes into the movie. The chase scene was her personalities conflicting. There probably wasn't two cars. As jimmy, the Gas station attendant, probably didn't own a supped up muscle car and it was represention of Marie's want for revenge. She finds Jimmy's car keys and takes off with his gun. I mean watching it I thought it was sort of silly that she was chasing down the killer in a bright yellow car straight from an action film before that is what the weaker personality wanted to be true and thought totally happened. The killer was represention of her violent sexualality, being showcased in the movie. As she got mad at Alex for going out with guys and leaving her, her inability to so and be social and her tendice to stalk Alex outside her shower window.
Would You Rather had a great ending.. she took lives, and now she has to live with the fact that she did what she did and will be alone to mourn her brother and herself.. THATis true horror.
In all fairness to signs and the aliens visitng earth which is 70 percent water. Humans are actively attempting to visit the moon and mars both which have atmospheres that we literally cannot survive without special suits.
Also, nobody ever takes into account that maybe planets with life on them are extremely rare, so yeah they're gonna go to a deadly planet if it's the only one with resources nearby. It's as stupid an argument as the "There was room for Jack on that door, Rose!" people make.
I also go with the theory that signs isn't actually aliens, but demons instead. It would make more sense with all the religious stuff, and holy water hurting the demons instead.
I mean, we learned about the dangers and made the special suits to protect ourselves before heading out into space. Armstrong and Aldrin didn't just hop out onto the Moon in jeans and t-shirts and then find out about the deadly atmosphere that way. The Signs aliens just seemed to show up with no idea that our water is deadly to them, no real protection against it (or anything really, aren't the aliens running around basically naked?) and then they dip as soon as they realize they've made a horrible mistake Like, they didn't even send a probe to check the planet they were going to invade to make sure they weren't going to a planet that's 70% deadly acid? Humans can do that, it's why we aren't trying to get people to Venus
I refuse to believe anyone ACTUALLY cares about this. I don't recall anyone caring about this when it came out. I remember it becoming a joke later and the way I see it is now people have retroactively taken that joke as serious criticism. It's the hating Nickelback of horror memes.
Correction the worst twist is from “I’ll always know what you did last summer” where it’s revealed that the kill is a zombie Ben, even though he has no connection to any of the characters in the film and that the series was never supernatural until now!😅
I own it because it came in a pack with the first two, but the closest I’ve come to watching it is Dead Meat’s Kill Count, and even James couldn’t muster up any joy while covering it. 🤣😭
I’m a huge Saw fan and Spiral was the first time I was old enough to see a Saw film in cinemas and was sooo excited to experience the “twist” and get those chills when the music came on, but nope didn’t happen because I saw it coming from a mile away. Which is funny because I still get chills when rewatching some of the previous Saw films (esp. Saw II), despite knowing the twist. I think it’s because the one in Spiral is just sooo blatantly obvious from the start.
4:20 -- it was explained IN THE MOVIE that the aliens were on a raid harvesting US. They weren't here to invade and populate like in other alien invasion movies like War of the Worlds (1897), but to harvest us.
Not to mention if they had never come across water before, how would they know they were going to be hurt by it. Just because they can fly in space doesn't mean they're smart - plenty of people can drive but they also blow their own hands off with fireworks, SO
That makes it even worse to me 😅 If they aren't even smart enough to recognize an unknown substance that makes up not only most of what they're harvesting, but most of the planet itself, nevermind even attempt to run tests on it, it's so hard to feel threatened by them.
I saw the Would You Rather twist coming a minute or so before it happened, well it was more like “if he’d killed himself would that be fucked up or what” and happened to be right lol
I didn't know that anyone was pissed off by the twist ending of _10 Cloverfield Lane._ I thought it was handled well, it was VERY unexpected, and that it set up possible future installments well.
I can agree on most of these, but not quite all. "Would you rather" didn't piss me off, it crushed me - but disappoint me, it did not. "I still know what you did last summer" was a twist I really enjoyed in 1998, and still do. Imagine a slasher movie villain you didn't see coming, because we all knew Ben Willis to be responsible and the idea that he could have an accomplice ... did that even occur to anyone? If so, kudos to you, me it blindsided! I also approved of the "Urban legend 2" twist, in no small part because I had already seen that very same twist used to great effect in the old Dennis Quaid/Meg Ryan vehicle "D.O.A." (though in the latter it was about a novel, not a movie script). Where I couldn't agree with you more, however, is in the case of "Identity". I really, really, REALLY hate that movie. The "it was all in your head" thing is the worst trope of all on the best of days, but rarely has it come across more stupid-looking than here. And in a movie with the gall to present itself as smart, no less!
Hard disagree on Identity. I think a lot of the hate it gets is that its presented as a standard slasher flick for most of the movie. And it mostly is up to the point of the mid movie reveal. The problem is people dont reflect back and realize theyve actually been watching a psychological thriller and the implications all that brings, and then apply that to the events of the rest of the movie. Part of that is they maybe didnt give enough time for many people to adjust their point of view.
Would You Rather has a great ending that plays into the film's theme, honestly, the idea of being left empty after sacrificing your morals on a bet that doesn't pay off and wondering what's left for you is a great conclusion. RE:A's also isn't really a tiwst, we basically know from the first movie about Nemesis' backstory, so there is no twist or surprise, it's just a take. Identity is another good twist, since the fact that the ten people don't exist doesn't make what happened in the movie meaningless, since the ten identities still matters.
27:55 Bruh. Literally anyone watching it knew the aliens were real. It had "cloverfield" in its title. Also did you guys really just chop up segments of other lists together from different presenters and call it a list?
