10 Best Movie Twists You Genuinely Never Saw Coming

This twist is so damn shocking and brilliant that it even helped the movie win the Best Picture Oscar.

Bong Joon-ho's Parasite begins with an impoverished family, the Kims, progressively insinuating themselves into the lives of a wealthy family, the Parks, each becoming employed in a different position of "hired help" (the chauffeur, housekeeper, and so on).

It's a terrific setup for a delicious black comedy about class inequality, but one that takes a supremely, unexpectedly dark turn around the mid-point when the full grim truth is revealed.

While the Parks are away on vacation, the Kims treat their fancy house as their own, before the Parks' former housekeeper, Moon-gwang (Lee Jung-eun), shows up insisting that she left something in the basement.

Moon-gwang then reveals that the basement harbours a secret bunker where she's stashed her husband, Geun-sae (Park Myung-hoon), who has been secretly living there for four years in order to hide from loan sharks.

At this point Parasite turns into a much darker and more unhinged thriller as these two parties of imposters effectively go to war, all while attempting to conceal it all from the Parks as they return home from their trip.

Parasite is a quintessential movie to watch while knowing as little as possible, but even if you know the basic gist, nothing can prepare you for that table-flipping twist.
