10 Movie Twists That Are Even Better The Second Time Around

Few events in movies are more satisfying to an invested audience than a well-executed plot twist. Unfortunately, many movies, while great the first time around, can lose their appeal and become frustrating once the viewers already know about the dramatic reveal. Knowing the twist in advance can fully erase any dramatic tension that the film works tirelessly to build up. Therefore, filmmakers have to work extra hard to make sure that their plot twists not only significantly contribute to the overall story, but that they are captivating enough to still be enjoyed on a second watch.

Fortunately, many movies have twists so exciting, they can be watched over and over again without losing any of their punch. In fact, some twists actually manage to make films even more enjoyable the second time around. This is typically the case when the ultimate reveal has been carefully foreshadowed throughout the movie. These meticulously planned moments encourage the audience to search for clues that they may have missed the first time, while also demonstrating that the writers knew what they were doing all along. When these films were written, the writers knew audiences would come back hungry for more.

Much of the 1995 crime drama, The Usual Suspects, is told via flashbacks as Roger “Verbal” Kint discusses the complex series of events that led him and his associates onto a large boat where a brutal massacre has recently occurred. Throughout the film, Kint is being questioned by Agent Kujan, who is determined to figure out the identity of the mysterious crime lord, Keyser Söze.

Life was uneventful for the unnamed Narrator of Fight Club before Tyler Durden showed up. After befriending Tyler, the Narrator begins to take on a whole personality, living a much more active, dangerous lifestyle. He quits his job and, with Tyler, forms an underground network of men looking to relieve stress through violence. As matters begin to escalate further out of control, with the risk of death becoming more of a factor, the Narrator is ultimately forced to confront the shocking reality that Tyler is merely another personality within himself, not a different person.

Rewatching Fight Club reveals that David Fincher knew what he was doing all along when he made the movie. There are numerous clues to the fact that the Narrator made up Tyler within his head, with a key one coming while the Narrator is sitting in a hotel early in the film. If you look closely at the television in the scene, you can see that one of the people onscreen is “Tyler” himself, revealing that the Narrator based Tyler’s appearance on someone he saw on TV. Details like this make Fight Club even more thrilling on a rewatch.

Related Us vs Get Out: Which Jordan Peele Movie Is Scarier?

Both Get Out and Us are terrifying movies from visionary horror filmmaker Jordan Peele. But which of these movies is truly the scariest?

Revealed mere seconds before the end of the film, the final plot twist in Us forces audiences to reevaluate which character is the real protagonist. Viewers are left with the chilling realization that they may have been unknowingly supporting the villain all along. This reveal encourages the audience to rewatch the film, keeping an eye out for any indications that “Adelaide” may not be who she says she is (and there certainly are clues). If anything, many unusual elements (such as Adelaide’s unwillingness to speak following her incident) make a lot more sense when watching the film a second time.

Rian Johnson’s 2019 film, Knives Out, turned the mystery genre on its head by seemingly revealing the killer almost immediately, before ultimately twisting things around again. Early in the film, kindhearted nurse Marta Cabrera inadvertently injects wealthy writer, Harlan Thrombey, with a lethal dose of morphine, prompting him to slit his throat in order to avoid having the blame placed on his beloved nurse. A gripping investigation ensues, culminating in the reveal that Marta was not actually guilty after all, as Harlan’s greedy grandson, Ransom, switched the medicine bottles, intentionally seeking to kill Harlan.

The ending of
Knives Out

Some plot twists are so well done they force viewers to question every second of the film up until that point. This is the case for Shutter Island, the 2010 psychological thriller directed by Martin Scorsese. On a first viewing, the film is portrayed as the gripping story of a detective trying to get to the bottom of the mysterious events unfolding at an island-based mental hospital. Once the twist is revealed, however, it becomes apparent that the protagonist is merely a patient involved in a grand ruse to help him cope with the tragic events of his past.

Shutter Island becomes even more enjoyable upon a second viewing because it is so densely packed with hints that the protagonist isn’t who he thinks he is. Audiences gain the ability to view the film through the lens of it being about a group of people desperately trying to maintain an illusion, all for the purpose of helping a man come to terms with his guilt. All the main character’s flashbacks and strange interactions with others suddenly take on a whole new meaning when the twist is revealed, redefining the entire film for those who know the truth.

Alfred Hitchcock’s 1960 horror classic, Psycho, features an iconic plot twist which has made the film a hit for generations. In the film, mysterious proprietor Norman Bates discovers that a shadowy figure has been committing murders on the grounds of his motel, prompting him to cover them up as he deals with his ill mother. By the film’s conclusion, it is shockingly revealed that Norman’s personality is split between that of himself and that of his overbearing mother, whom he gruesomely killed years before. Overcome with guilt, Norman mummified her body, and carried out murders while embodying her personality.

Every interaction in which Norman alludes to his “ill” mother becomes all the more unsettling when audiences know the truth. Similarly, Norman’s frightened reaction to the first murder reminds viewers just how fractured his mind truly is.

As is the case with all of Wright’s movies, Hot Fuzz is packed with lines that first appear to be casual throw-away gags, but end up being excellent uses of subtle foreshadowing. Practically every line in the script ends up reappearing in some capacity later on, with various characters dropping carefully placed hints about their involvement in the murders. These lines embody the satisfying blend of feeling perfectly natural the first time around, but assuming a whole different meaning when you know the truth.

Many horror movies feature twist endings, but few manage to build them up quite as effectively as the original installment in the Saw franchise. A large portion of Saw‘s narrative occurs in a large, rundown bathroom, which has been repurposed by the Jigsaw Killer for one of his deadly games. The room contains little else beyond the two potential victims, a handful of clues, and a seemingly dead body. It is not until the end of the film that the body rises, revealing itself to not only be alive, but to be the true Jigsaw Killer.

For instance, there are multiple nods to how the killer enjoys watching the devious games he creates, explaining why he would plant himself right in the middle of the room.

The unexpected reveal that every suspect was equally guilty comes as a huge surprise to viewers, and encourages them to rewatch the film with this new knowledge in mind. Without knowing this twist, it is highly unlikely that the audience would have even considered the possibility of every suspect being guilty, as this is drastically different from the resolution of most mystery films. Watching Murder on the Orient Express is even more exciting when using the lens of knowing everyone is guilty, instead of assuming most of them are innocent.
