We all love watching movies that reveal hidden layers upon repeat viewings, whereby we're able to glean new information that enriches the entire cinematic experience and sticks with us forever more.

Then there are those movies which feature hidden details that, once seen, simply make each subsequent viewing more awkward and bizarre than we ever could've imagined.

These 10 movies, then, all include intensely weird and disturbing moments that the overwhelming majority of audiences never actually noticed. Until now, at least.

Once you're in the know, as you're about to be with these 10 hit films, you'll never be able to see any of them quite the same way again, whether for better, for worse, or simply for weirder.

From horror movies that somehow just got even scarier to otherwise family-friendly films which hid an exceptionally unsettling and unnerving Easter egg in plain sight, these creepy movie gags are all sure to leave you rethinking everything you thought you knew about these films.

If nothing else, they're all a testament to the creepily playful nature of most filmmakers...

10. Lilly Was Born In Area 51 - Pitch Perfect 3

The undeniable oddball of the Pitch Perfect franchise is the soft-spoken Lilly Onakuramara (Hana Mae Lee), whose most peculiar claims include having been born with gills, setting fires to feel joy, devouring her own twin in the womb, and professing to know where The Barden Bellas can see a dead body.

Lilly's weirdness is normally played for off-kilter laughs, culminating in the third film having Lilly re-introduce herself to the Bellas as "Esther," while proudly stating that Satan has finally left her body.

But there's a blink-and-you'll-miss-it shot earlier in the movie which seems to tell the actual story of Lilly's origins. On a fleeting glimpse of her passport, Lilly's place of birth is listed as "Area 51, Nevada," quite explicitly implying that she is, in fact, an alien.

Sure, you can call it a jokey Easter egg all you like, but it would certainly go a way to explain Lilly's increasingly weird - and, in retrospect, hella creepy - behaviour.
