10 Best Movie Plot Twists Of 2024
4. The Lady Is The Killer - Strange Darling
Strange Darling is absolutely a film you'll want to watch as blindly as possible, because the moment anyone tells you that there's a twist, you'll probably be able to figure it out, as well executed as it is.
JT Mollner's electrifying thriller initially appears to be about a young woman (Willa Fitzgerald), credited merely as The Lady, who is on the run from a psychotic man (Kyle Gallner) referred to only as The Demon.
But mid-way through the movie, we learn the truth - The Lady is in fact a serial killer known as The Electric Lady, and the so-called Demon is not merely her latest intended victim, but a police officer.
It's a brilliant script-flipping moment that clearly relishes toying with our preconceptions of gender, even if Mollner doesn't quite stick the landing all the way to the end.
All the same, if you're not already clued into there being a rug-pull moment, the protagonist-antagonist switcheroo makes for one hell of a twist.
