10 Massive Movie Twists That Were Secretly Obvious
3. It's The Only Logical Conclusion - The Others
The Others big twist is that Nicole Kidmans character Grace, and her family, are all ghosts. They spend the entire film thinking they're the ones being haunted, but it becomes apparent at the end that the exact opposite is actually true.
When you go back and look for foreshadowing moments, you're likely to find a lot of clues. The fact that Grace and the kids live in the dark, and rarely go outside certainly signposts that something weird is going on, for starters. There's also the fact that Christopher Ecclestons father character emerges from the mist surrounding the house one day; he is quiet and distant, and everyone thought he had died in World War 2. Then he disappears again the next day. How's that for a clue?
Ultimately, it gets to the point where the only way to explain all the ridiculousness is for them to all be dead too.
