10 Most Confusing Horror Movies You'll Ever Watch

10. Kill List

On the surface, A Field of England looks to be Ben Wheatley's trippiest work by a long shot. But on closer inspection, the British auteur's debut feature, Kill List, deserves that mantle. A Field of England proudly wears its zaniness on its sleeve. Kill List, on the other hand, leads viewers ashtray by pretending to be something else entirely for the majority of its runtime.

The story opens with a hitman called Jay who's tasked with eliminating three targets, to make amends for a previous job he botched. With that set-up in mind, the first two-thirds of Kill List plays out like a Guy Ritchie-inspired crime drama, devoid of any horror elements.

However, the last scene drops viewers into a completely different movie, brimming with vibrant gore, occult imagery, and visceral visuals. What's most bizarre is that nothing in the climax is explained, forcing viewers to futilely try to understand what they just saw.

Although Kill List failed miserably to make a splash upon its release, it's become a cult-classic in recent years, due to its genre-blending narrative, drastic tonal shifts, and disruptive atmosphere.
