10 More Horror Movie Twists That Pissed Everyone Off
Those horror twists that left us all frustratingly slapping our foreheads!
Few corners of cinema are as synonymous with twists and turns as much as the horror genre is. For decades, these twisted tales have caught audiences off-guard, zigging when we all thought a film was going to zag.
Often, these shock revelations and game-changing moments leave you stunned in the best possible way, bringing plenty to the table and helping to elevate a picture from average to good, or from good to great. On the other side of that coin, though, there are those other shockers that leave horror hounds baffled and frustrated.
Having already covered 10 Horror Movie Twists That Pissed Everyone Off last year, that means April Fool's Day, The Village, Hide and Seek, I Still Know What You Did Last Summer, Urban Legends: Final Cut, Identity, Saw 3D, Switchblade Romance, Halloween Kills, and Psycho 2 are all off the table this time out. Still, there's plenty more forehead-slapping horror twists to be explored.
With that in mind, then, here are a further ten such swerves that left audiences extremely frustrated.
10. The Twist That Ruined Two Movies - Brahms: The Boy II
Not just does Brahms: The Boy II's twist turn a so-so movie into a stinker, it actually undermines and retroactively ruins its predecessor.
Arriving in 2016, the first Boy movie was somewhat surprisingly decent. Sure, it was no all-time classic, but it was a solid, entertaining, genuinely unnerving picture that was a lot more than the spooky doll feature many presumed it was. With Lauren Cohan's Greta tasked with serving as a nanny to a porcelain doll - that'd be Brahms - The Boy's spooky goings-on across a lavish mansion end up being revealed to be the real-life Brahms who, said to have died years prior, actually lives in the property's walls.
That in itself was a fun twist, but Brahms: The Boy II took a giant dump on all of that.
For The Boy II, it's Katie Holmes' Liza and her son Jude who find themselves tormented by the shenanigans of Brahms. While the action just about limps along, the conclusion of this sequel reveals that the Brahms doll is actually a demonic identity in search of a human host - totally going against what had been established in the first movie.
