10 Horror Movie Twists That Were Hiding In Plain Sight

10. Dewey Guesses The Killer In His First Scene - Scream (2022)

Although it's usually difficult to deduce the killer's identity in the Scream franchise, many viewers correctly guessed Amber and Richie were behind the mask in the latest film. When Ghostface claims to have cloned Amber's phone (just like in Scream 3), a lot of viewers didn't think the franchise would be lazy enough to use this trope again and so, suspected it was a bluff.

Likewise, when Richie visits Tara at the hospital, she whacks him with her mobile, causing him to yell, "Did you just hit me with a phone?" This is a callback to how Billy hit Stu (AKA the original killers) with a phone in the first movie. The fact that Amber and Richie are the only new characters to have zero connection with the people of Woodsboro was also incredibly suspicious.

However, the most obvious clue is when Dewey tells the gang Richie is the most likely person to be Ghostface since the killer is usually the seemingly loving boyfriend. And, well, it turns out he was exactly bang on the money, which Richie even comments on at the end of the movie.

Sadly, nobody paid attention.
