The twist is unpredictable but completely believable and ingenious. Heavily inspired by Agatha Christie’s ‘And Then There Were None’, characters stranded at a motel are killed of one by one with a murderer on the loose. The film also doubles up as a brilliant psychological thriller. ‘Identity’ rates among the best murder mysteries you will ever see. For those who don’t, it will either blow up your brains, or you will when it ends. For those who like to think and prefer their films with a side of thought-fodder, this film is a haven among the woods. It may not end up satisfactorily answering a lot of the questions it raises, but it is bound to raise a brow or two with the flawed genius behind the big idea of it all, the idea of a timeless soldier, free from the ideas of ancestry, birth, death, conception, and time itself: a predestination paradox. ‘Predestination’ is a film that toys with complex physical ideas including Time Travel, Temporal Loops, Discontinuities, Paradoxes, concepts that have, till now, caught the fancy of physicists, mathematicians, story tellers and film makers for close to a century. You can watch several of these movies with twist endings on Netflix, Hulu or Amazon Prime. With all that said now, today we are going to list down the greatest twist endings in cinema. I’ve discovered with my exposure to filmmaking that while it isn’t very difficult to come up with a twist ending, it is terribly hard to think one up that fits a story to absolute perfection. The twist ending should allow the audience to understand the elements of a story in a different way, while providing further details about the characters and their surroundings. Mostly used in thrillers, twists can work well in just about any film genre, notable ones being drama, comedy, and horror. When it comes to feature films, the case is different, because so much happens within the time frame of a movie that a twist has to complement everything that precedes it, so that it will make sense, in however subtle a way that may be.
