20 Horror Movies Ruined By TERRIBLE Reveals

3. Trish Planned The Robbery - Killer Whale

Because a killer whale apparently doesn't offer up enough peril and intrigue for a movie called Killer Whale, the script decided to add in a ridiculous extra twist for the sake of it.

For context, at the start of the movie we learn that protagonist Maddie (Virginia Gardner) is recovering from a traumatic incident where her friend Chad (Isaac Crawley) was killed in a robbery.

In an attempt to heal, she heads off to Thailand with her best pal Trish (Mel Jarnson), where they eventually find themselves preyed upon by a captive orca.

But late in the story, Trish drops quite the bombshell - she actually planned the fateful robbery in an attempt to clear her student debt, though of course didn't intend for Chad to die.

It's a completely ridiculous, left-field twist which feels like a desperate attempt to inject some added drama into a film that, again, has plenty of that with the whole giant whale and all.
