10 Awful Twists That Ruined Awesome Horror Movies

10. Identity

This murder-fest from 2003 begins as two parallel stories - one is about a group of people trying to outwit a killer in a motel, the other is a man on trial as a psychiatrist tries to prove his insanity.

What could possibly link these two unrelated events? Bad writing, that's what!

It becomes aparent that the events in the motel are actually playing out in the man on trial's head. Malcolm Rivers, a convicted murderer by the way, suffers from dissociative identity disorder and the different characters inside the motel represent his multiple personalities.

It's up to Ed, the "good" personality, to root out the murderous one before it can strike again in the real world.

Not a bad idea at all, but it all gets very complicated very quickly. The conflict between killer and victims inside Malcolm's mind is meant to represent his internal struggle, but how could we possible feel for a character we know has committed such heinous acts?

Identity starts off fairly promising, has a twist that could have been something, but ultimately ends up as a morally confused mess.
