10 Most Unexpected Twists In Slasher Movies
4. Beth's Delusion - Incident In A Ghostland
From the mind of French director Pascal Laugier, Incident in a Ghostland is a 2018 that begins with a mother and her two daughters surviving a home invasion.
At least, that's how it seems at first.
One of the daughters, Beth, grows up to become a famous author with a new book coming out based on the ordeal she suffered as a child. She learns from her mother, Colleen, that her sister Vera is having traumatic flashbacks to that night, so Beth travels to see her. She probably should have stayed at home.
It turns out that all of Beth's adult life was actually one big delusion. The two invaders actually killed her mother and have been keeping the girls hostage whilst dressed as dolls the entire time. Beth was forced to retreat into her imagination to survive the trauma, but she is eventually forced to confront the real world in order to escape.
There is no hint that Beth's life isn't real until the big reveal. While this may seem like a hokey cop-out, it's done so well that it fits perfectly with the twisted world of this chilling movie.
