| | | Seven -- two police detectives try to solve a series of murders based on the seven deadly sins. The movie does contain some scenes of tortured victims, but it doesn't flood the audience with blood and gore. Your imagination is allowed to work during the height of the horror.... which is always the most frightening aspect -- the film scenes running through my mind. |

| | | I wanted to tell em' about Seven, and you beat me to it.
Stars Brad Pitt, if anyone's interested. I liked this one, but the ending, ohh ma, ma.
Blood Simple is one I only saw once, yrs ago, and they never play it. It is quite scary, and has a scene never done before or after. Might have been a early Cohen Bros. film.
all I can think of right now.

| | | Just finished rewatching another movie with an excellent twist ending, "Primal Fear", which reminds me of another one, "Presumed Innocent".

| | | How about an uncomfortable twist as in:
The Crying Game
A recent one that had numerous twists (and made a lot of law enforcement people uneasy) ....
Training Day (Denzel Washington)
Then there was the Jodie Foster seeking alien life flick ...
Contact
... and who can forget the neverending twists in both the theatre and television ....

| | | Well, I think I'm probably the only person on earth who actually liked this movie, but it's one of my favorites ...

| | | I've seen it. DeNiro as the devil, good twist (at the time, been done to death since then).

| | I guess I don't see enough movies...
I didn't know the twist had been done to death - not the DiNiro as the devil one, the other one at the end when Mickey Rourke finally finds Johnny Favourite...
I still love it though.

| | | Shawshank Redemption, The usual suspects, L. A. Confidential, Minority Report, to name a few, were interesting with rather unexpected endings.
A recent movie that has a strange twist and is a bit scary is "The Ring". Anthony Hopkin's "Red Dragon" also quite good. |

| | Well, I just saw the twistiest movie I've seen in a long time. It was so twisty, I'm still trying to figure out if it was playing fair all along (I suspect it was). "Basic", with John Travolta and Samuel Jackson. I won't even bother trying to describe the number and degree of twists, but the screenwriter is one cruel sonofagun

| | | Pretzels The Devil's Advocate with Al Pacino and Keanu Reeves and DannyR's choice of Vanilla Sky are my votes. There is more than meets the eye in both films...

| | | I agree,I still don't understand Devil's Advocate eventhough I watched it twice. I have watched Matrix several times, but a lot of stuff i am not sure i understood correct. Had tough time with minority report as well. |
