20 Most WTF Movie Moments Of 2021 (So Far)
7. The INSANE Final Fight - The Woman In The Window
The Woman in the Window is pretty much a 100-minute WTF moment, a movie that once upon a time was courting awards attention yet, after multiple delays and a round of reshoots, went straight-to-Netflix where it received largely negative reviews.
The film reaches its nutty apex in the third act, when it's finally revealed that Ethan (Fred Hechinger) is the movie's murderer and, more to the point, a serial killer.
This results in a showdown between Ethan and protagonist Anna (Amy Adams), which honestly plays out more like a skit from a Scary Movie film than a genuine, serious-minded thriller.
Between the goofy camerawork and hilariously telegraphed climax in which Ethan is pushed through the apartment's skylight, it's shockingly poor work from a director as talented as Joe Wright, and feels like it belongs in a different movie entirely.
It sure is fun to laugh at, though. Say what you will about this movie, but few would call it boring.
