Their fatal interaction reveals that the seemingly "normal" woman we've been watching all along was actually born a member of the mysterious, "evil" Tethered race.John Gaspard is the author of mysteries and nonfiction film books, a podcast host, and film director. At the end of the film we discover this massive twist when Adelaide and Red fight to the death in the underground tunnels beneath the boardwalk. The doppelgänger essentially then steals the real Adelaide's life, going back to her parents and living above ground. Red proceeds to drag Adelaide down to the tunnels and trap her there with the rest of the Tethered. But during that trip, the real Adelaide wanders off by herself into a hall of mirrors and is captured by her own doppelgänger, another little girl named Red, who looks exactly like her from her face to her choice of clothing. The twist: Long before she's a paranoid suburban mom, Adelaide (Lupita Nyong'o) was just your average preteen getting taken to the Santa Cruz boardwalk for her birthday by her parents. Over the course of one night they do battle with their "Tethered" clones and desperately fight to survive. The synopsis: A family of four heads to Santa Cruz for a Summer vacation, where they're soon terrorized by people who look exactly like them. The amount of damage it'll do to your psyche: 🔪🔪🔪 There's then a big, deadly showdown between Becca, Tyler, and the faux-grandparents, involving poopy diapers and some big shards of glass. She's like, "Hey, not to freak you kids out or anything, but THOSE AREN'T MY PARENTS." The real grandparents were counselors at a local psychiatric hospital, and ended up being murdered and impersonated by pair of their elderly patients, who have been with the kids all week.
Night Shyamalan's found-footage film, the kids are telling their mother via Skype about how concerned they are about their grandparent's behavior, when their mom happens to see a glimpse of the grandparents in the background. The twist: In a truly chilling moment of M. As the week wears on, their grandparents become stranger and stranger, leaving both kids terrified and afraid for their lives. Neither of the kids have ever met their grandparents before, and plan to document the whole experience on their video camera. The synopsis: A teenaged brother and sister, Becca and Tyler, head to their maternal grandparents' house by train for a week while their mom goes on a cruise with her new boyfriend. The amount of damage it'll do to your psyche: 🔪🔪🔪🔪 She gets out with the help of some cops, and Jason is never seen again (well, until the 300 or so sequels that came out afterwards). All of a sudden, Jason's shriveled, gross, Gollum-like body leaps from the depths and drags her overboard. Not so luckily, she decides the best way to decompress after all that murder is to paddle a canoe out on the lake. Luckily the final survivor of the massacre, camp counselor Alice, kills Mrs. The twist: Jason's mother, driven crazy by the death of her son, went on a killing spree out of revenge (the original counselors were too busy getting it on to notice Jason drowning). Upon its reopening in the '70s, the killer returns to take down the fresh crop of counselors. After a few of the counselors are mysteriously murdered, the camp shuts down for over two decades. The synopsis: A little boy named Jason Voorhees drowns while swimming at Camp Crystal Lake in the '50s because the camp counselors are distracted, and his body is never found.
