10 Movie Plot Twists EVERYONE Guessed

Though Life wasn't revealed to be a secret Venom prequel at the end as many hoped it would be, it did nevertheless conclude with a sneaky twist, albeit one which honestly seemed like a foregone conclusion.

In the climax, Dr. David Jordan (Jake Gyllenhaal) agrees to lure the murderous alien lifeform Calvin into an escape pod he's inside, with the intent of piloting it into the reaches of deep space, ensuring it can't reach Earth.

Meanwhile, the incident's other survivor, Dr. Miranda North (Rebecca Ferguson), will pilot the other pod to Earth.

But as the pods head off on their disparate trajectories, they're hit by debris and sent in opposite directions, resulting in Miranda hurtling into deep space while David and Calvin crash-land in Vietnam, where they're "saved" by a group of fishermen. Basically, Calvin's probably going to take over the world.

Yet the last-minute switcheroo is such a wildly overused trope at this point, especially in the horror genre, that it was hilariously easy to see this one coming.
