Unexpected Horror Plot Twists

I am going to discuss a few movies without giving away the endings if you haven't seen them that have strange, confusing, and clever plot twists. I'll link the ones that are available free online and show you where to watch the ones that aren't without paying a mint! They are in no necessary order from best to worst, this is just a list.

1.   Gothika (2003) - a film which stars Halle Berry and Robert Downey Jr. Halle portrays a psychiatrist who gets in a car accident nobody bears witness to and she winds up waking up in the very asylum in which she practices. She has to figure out what the hell happened, why she got there, and who committed the horrifying crime for which she is accused.

Gothika is available on Netflix.

Gothika is also available on Amazon & Amazon Prime, Vudu, and iTunes.

Its also available below if you don't have an Amazon Prime Subscription.

2.  The Uninvited (2009) - Emily Browning stars in this thriller, which is the American version of the 2003 South Korean film, A Tale of Two Sisters, in which she returns home from a psychiatric hospital visit which resulted following the death of her mother.  When she arrives home, Anna is shocked to discover that her father has recently gotten engaged to Rachel (Elizabeth Banks), her mother's former nurse. 

Anna's suspicions about Rachel are quickly realized to be true when her deceased mother contacts her from the beyond the grave to warn the girl and her sister to try and convince their father that Rachel is not who he thinks she is. 

You can watch The Univited on YouTube, MGo, Vudu, Amazon, Best Buy's Cinema Now, and iTunes.

Its Korean version, A Tale of Two Sisters is available on Netflix.

3.  Lost Highway (1997) - This one was really weird.  I still don't think I get it all these years later.  Fred Madison (Bill Pullman), a musician, receives a message from an unknown man on his front door intercom saying, "Dick Laurent is dead." When he looks out his window nobody is there, but he hears the faint sound of police sirens.

The next day, there is a random package on his front doorstep with a video tape of inside his house.  After their evening lovins seesion, Fred sees Renee's face as that of a pale old man. Another weird tape shows up showing inside their house and frames of he and his wife in bed sleeping. They call the cops, but two detectives Al and Ed say that there's nothing they can do about it, but agree to keep an eye out.

That evening, Fred and Renee go out to a party held by Andy where Fred meets a creepy old guy played by Robert Blake clas in all black.  Oddly, his face looks like the one he saw on his wife's head after a lovins session the other night.

He actually tells Fred that he is at his house right now. Fred phones his house and the voice of the creepy guy answers his phone while he's standing right in front of him.  Fred walks away and asks Andy who the guy is and and he says he's a friend of Dick Laurent.

The next day, another random tape arrives and Fred watches it alone. I can't say what happens next, but its a really weird flick and you have no idea what's going on until the end.  I still haven't figured it out, but it was entertaining and has a killer soundtrack, which includes music from NIN, Marilyn Manson, and David Bowie.

You can watch it on Netflix, Amazon, Amazon Prime, Blockbuster, and Daily Motion. 

4.  The Attic (2008) - After her family moves into a new house, Emma starts to see visions of her dead twin sister. For her, the attic of her Victorian house may deliver the answer to her questions, but when she starts going up there, she starts getting all crazy.

The Woman in Black      

(Available On Demand) (2012)

A widowed lawyer travels to a secluded village on an important assignment, and encounters a vengeful ghost with mysterious motives. After losing his beloved wife in childbirth, young barrister Arthur Kipps (Daniel Radcliffe) was nearly consumed by grief. A haunted widower father, he raises his young son with the help of his devoted nanny. Arthur is on the verge of losing his job when an important client of the firm dies, and his boss offers him one last opportunity to prove his worth by settling the woman's affairs. Determined to succeed, Arthur travels to the remote village and receives a chilly welcome. Something horrible once happened here, and it seems that the locals are determined to ensure Arthur never finds out what it was. Now, the more time Arthur spends in his client's crumbling estate, the more aware he becomes of a presence that isn't quite human. In this house dwells a woman's ghost. In life she lost something precious, and now in death she'll do whatever it takes to get it back. Until she does, her spectral presence will serve as a harbinger of doom, always to be followed by the death of an innocent.

George A. Romero

Deadtime Stories Vol. 2 (2011)

This release from the horror series Deadtime Stories, created by legendary horror director George A. Romero, includes three hair-raising episodes of the anthology show: one tests the limits of human desperation when three friends become trapped in a cave, one finds a philandering professor haunted by (literal) ghosts of his past, and one tells a story of science gone awry, with an artifact brought back from Mars causing havoc on earth. ~ Cammila Albertson, Rovi

Well, there are a couple to start with.  I'm not Blockbuster's biggest fan, and they closed the closest kiosk and store in my locale, but a free membership, I'll take, even though I already partook, so I can't now, but as for you guys, go for it, and then back to Netflix!

The Garden

Sam (Adam Taylor Gordon) is a young boy with big problems: He has bad dreams, he cuts himself, and he's just been released from a mental hospital. But when he and his recovering alcoholic father (Brian Wimmer) are forced to stay on a ranch owned by the mysterious Ben Zachary (Lance Henriksen of ALIENS), Sam's nightmares become all too real. On this placid land, the dead walk, evil is alive, and a terrifying prophecy may unleash the final apocalypse. As the suffering of the innocent takes root, will the taste of temptation lead Sam to the most shocking act of all? 

Darn, I thought that said Lars Frederiksen.  I was all excited.  I have a picture of Lars.  I snapped it as he was walking off stage drinking a bottle of water.  Lars...oh how I love thee...in a nonsexual way, though...I'd hit that on principle, though. 

Troll 2

 Troll's pretty good, and Troll 2 isn't bad either.  Just think Leprechaun, but a little more twisted, and not as obsessed with gold.  The Leprechaun didn't really mess with kids either, so I guess the Troll is just mean!  But hey, who said trolls were nice???

This handsome fellow is Robert Blake.  He plays the mystery man in Lost Highway.  He was accused of killing his estranged wife back in 2001.  He was tried and acquitted, but lost in the wrongful death suit in 2005.  So, we can say he looks like a murderer, but he isn't one in the eyes of the law.

He is a wrongful death tortfeasor!!!!

T O R T F E A S O R

TORTFEASOR -   A PERSON WHO COMMITS A "CIVIL WRONG", NOT NECESSARILY AN ILLEGAL ACT...

YOU EFFING TORTFEASOR!!!

Tortfeasor is a wicked good word, but a MALFEASOR IS WAY BETTER!  MALFEASORS COMMIT WRONGFUL ACTS, BUT THEIR WRONGFUL ACTS ARE, IN FACT, ILLEGAL.

YOU EFFING MALFEASOR!!!!

I always wanted to use both words in a sentence, and do every time I get a chance.  I know, I'm insane!  However, I am not a TORTFEASOR OR A MALFEASOR!

That's all I really got, guys.  I saw Lost Highway on Hulu, but there were only clips.  I am bummed.  I still don't get that movie, but I did enjoy watching the shiz out of it for like months once.  I like when that handsome creature of  a guy at the costume party with the vampire costume on tells Bill Pullman he's at his house right now and to call him.  Bill calls him and he answer's Bill's phone and they are not at Bill's house, classic!

 Bill Pullman is an underrated actor.  How many movies has Bill starred in, and he gets no play.  Who talks about what a super actor Bill is.  Why does Bill always look confused?  This is probably why!  Bill, we salute you!  I would not hit that on principal, even, though. 

The Donner Party Starring Crispin Glover

The Donner Party was a vast disappointment.  Despite the promise of continuous cannibalism, which it did deliver, I was unhappy with the amount of bloodshed and carnage in this depressing psychological pseudo-documentary.  I also don't think there was as much shooting of people as this adaptation claims.  I think they simply ate people who could not withstand the journey and died.  It was a nice attempt at trying to portray some sinister plot in the mid-1800's Sierra Mountains on a journey to Sutter, California, but it just didn't
deliver :(.

The best part of this flick was Crispin Glover, of course.  He did a good job of changing his demeanor, but you can't see him as anything else but his creepy Willard self or when he played Andy Warhol in The Doors.  It confused me, and that was the only interesting part.  There's lots of snow, and boring cannibalism, and some shooting of half dead people with bags under their eyes who can't defend themselves. 

Its fun to watch if you want to continuously make fun of the film with a group of friends, and you better watch it that way if you want to avoid passing out mid-movie and having to watch it 3 times before you can get through it, yup, it happened.  Granted, it was late when I started watching it, but come on, I can usually get through a film, especially if its in English and involves Cannibalism.
