10 Horror Movies That Turned Out Nothing Like You Were Expecting

5. Last Night In Soho

The Perfection
Focus Features

Edgar Wright's most recent movie is a must for this list, as it works overtime to give you an experience you are not expecting. Trust the genius behind the Cornetto Trilogy to play with conventions and plot tropes with such ambition.

This mind-bending horror tricks you at first by simply being a horror. The advertisement for the flick and it's initial hour, play into the idea that it will be a 1960s fantasy coming-of-age story with a hint of darkness tossed in. But, once the horror introduces itself, it goes hard.

Wright takes masterful command over your pulse as the film devolves into an array of unpredictable and thrilling sequences, all with a blisteringly electric visual style and a breakneck pace.

Besides that, Last Night in Soho also messes with your expectations through the twists and turns of the narrative. It's constantly leading you astray with red herrings and false directions; you'll think you've cracked what is going on, only to be proven wrong again and again.

Overall, even if you go into Last Night In Soho with a vague idea of what to expect, you'll still be blown away.
