10 Worst Movie Plot Twists Of All Time

5. The Kid Was Abducted By Aliens - The Forgotten

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HYdiGm7im1I A terrible film that completely squanders the brilliant and always-appealing Julianne Moore, The Forgotten has a nasty surprise in store for audiences that ends up being more laughable than thought-provoking. The premise of the film is that Moore plays a grieving mother whose son seems to have disappeared during a plane crash, though she is promptly informed that she doesn't have a child. From here things shift gears so violently that it's never able to recover; Moore's character naturally doubts what she's being told, and in the end, it turns out that...Moore's son was abducted by aliens. Apparently they wanted to test the bond between mothers and sons, and frankly, it all just takes a wild left turn into WTF-ville here. Though it's admirable that they tried to eschew the trappings of what I assumed would become a glorified Movie of the Week, what we got isn't exactly a whole lot better.
