15. Mary, Maria, Angela & Laura Are The Same Person - Return to Silent Hill
Most Silent Hill fans weren't really expecting a surprise twist in Return to Silent Hill, considering that it's adapted from one of the most beloved horror games of all time which also boasts an incredibly well-known big reveal.
But in an attempt to ensure even die-hard fans were surprised by something, filmmaker Christophe Gans decided to deviate from the source material when James (Jeremy Irvine) visits his late girlfriend Mary's (Hannah Emily Anderson) grave and it's revealed that her full name was Mary Angela Laura Crane.
Basically, Angela (also played by Anderson) and Laura (Evie Templeton) - who were distinct characters in the game - are revealed to be figments of James' subconscious alongside Maria, who was also an imaginary figure in the games.
Basically, all three of these characters are conflated into an imagined whole, in turn robbing Angela and Laura of the individual agency they had in the game.
It doesn't make any sense at all, and felt like Gans making unnecessary changes to the source material just for the hell of it.
