10 Underwhelming Shock Twists That Made Films Worse

10. Glass - Ellie's True Allegience 

M. Night Shyamalan's Split exceeded everyone's expectations, not just because of James MacAvoy's scene-stealing performance as Kevin Crumb but the revelation that the story takes place in the same world as Unbreakable.

Because of the amazing twists in Split and Unbreakable, everyone was excited to see what Shyamalan was going to pull out for the crossover, Glass. But the results were mixed. The problem wasn't that the twist was bad; the problem was there were too many.

In Glass, we learn that the train crash in Unbreakable that Elijah Price orchestrated killed Kevin's father, which led to him awakening his powers as The Beast. This was a clever way to link all the characters in this shared universe. As was the final moment that shows humanity learning of the existence of superbeings, which served as a satisfactory ending as it proved David Dunn didn't die in vain.

But for some reason, Shyamalan didn't think two twists was enough and shoved it another. Before David dies, his doctor, Ellie Staple, is revealed to be a member of a cabal that suppresses all knowledge about superhumans. Unfortunately, inserting one twist too many made the last few scenes come across as clumsy and overstuffed.
