10 Best Movie Plot Twists Of 2024
3. It Was Anette All Along - Magpie
The devilishly clever and criminally underseen thriller Magpie stars Daisy Ridley as Anette, a wife and mother whose daughter is cast to star in a film alongside a beautiful actress, Alicia (Matilda Lutz), who Anette's dissatisfied husband Ben (Shazad Latif) swiftly falls in love with.
Throughout the bulk of the film, we're led to believe that Alicia is reciprocal to Ben's romantic advances, evidenced by their sexually charged text messages and videos.
However, the ending reveals that once Anette found out that Ben and Alicia had exchanged numbers, she took Ben's phone and changed Alicia's number to her own, making Ben think he was texting Alicia when it was actually her all along.
Furthermore, Anette even sent a fake striptease video while wearing a wig and posing as Alicia.
The entire "relationship" was vengefully faked by Anette, and just as Ben realises this, he crashes his car, which promptly sets on fire, suggesting he most likely burns to death.
There's revenge and then there's... whatever this savagely twisted scheme was.
