10 Best Movie Plot Twists Of 2015

5. The Man In The Mask - The Gift

This is arguably the most divisive twist to make this list, given that, whilst some people loved it, others thought it spoiled some aspects of the movie. Whatever your opinion, The Gift's unforgettable plot twist is worth talking about. The plot of Joel Edgerton's surprising little thriller flick concerns two guys: Simon (Jason Bateman) and Gordo (Joel Edgerton). One day, out of nowhere, Gordo - who knew Simon when they were younger - comes back into Simon's life and slowly begins to ruin it. "Why?" you wonder. "What the heck happened between these guys?" Well... as teenagers, Simon told a story about Gordo that inferred him to be a homosexual - an event caused him much pain and ridicule in their small town, and left Gordo to face the wrath of his father. Who, by the way, tried to set his son on fire as a result of the rumours. Gordo isn't actually gay, but he suffered through a lot of torment anyway. Then comes the twist ending: Gordo gives Simon a video recording that shows his wife, played by Rebecca Hall (who is pregnant during the events of the film), being loomed over by a man in a mask whilst she's passed out. A man we presume to be Gordo. This suggestion of rape is supposed to convince Simon that his unborn child isn't actually his. Does it cheapen the rest of the movie to have Gordo poised as a full-on weirdo? Whatever your opinion, it's a chilling finale and a horrific twist... no matter how you look at it.
