The Devil Inside twist ending


The Devil Inside generated $34.5 million in box office ticket sales in the first week of 2012. Nonetheless, the exorcism movie featured a horrible twisting ending which could possibly be the worst ever. The producer, director/screenwriter and co-writer assume the movie ending would be innovative.

As a result, The Devil Inside twist ending made a mockery of the horror movie genre. This twist ending analysis explores The Devil Inside twist ending. If you haven't watched The Devil Inside movie, then beware of movie spoilers. This article is my interpretation of the twist ending in the exorcism movie.

***Spoiler Alert***

At the hospital, Father Ben and Michael are in complete shock. In the previous scene, Father David blew his head off with the police officer's pistol. Ben and Michael then watched Isabella Rossi have a seizure. 

Isabella goes crazy and slices another woman's neck. She begins to bend her body backwards, obviously revealing she is possessed by her mother's demons. We never know the true identity of the demons. 

Ben calls another Father to help him to perform an exorcism. The moviegoing public are excited about the final exorcism most expect in exorcism movies. It is the moment we have been waiting to watch since The Rite movie. Most exorcism movies feature the best movie endings. 

Michael is frantically driving the car. Ben is watching Isabella in the back seat. Michael is shaken up, telling Ben he is shocked about what happened to the lady in the hospital room. They believe the woman is going to die. Isabella begins to speak in demon tongues. 

All of a sudden, Isabella chokes Michael. Ben pulls Isabella off Michael. The twist ending is Michael becomes possessed, It seems that Isabella transfered the demons to Michael. 

Michael removes his seat belt. He is ready to do something drastic. Ben is restraining Isabella the best he can, but never expects Michael to slam into another vehicle. 

Ben, Isabella and Michael are tossed around inside the car like action figures. We see them spinning around, unable to survive such a horrific crash. The twist ending is ending the movie without resolving the possession of Isabella. 

Ben, Isabella and MIchael die in the car accident. The case remains open to this day. Of course, The Devil Inside movie is a fake horror movie which is sloppy filmmaking. Compared to The Last Exorcism movie, the Devil Inside movie is a lazy exorcist movie with poor storytelling. 

The twist ending is executed as a marketing ploy to entice the moviegoers to visit The Rossi Files website. This exorcism movie features one of the worst twist endings ever. It is the worst decision hook the moviegoers with what they presume is the final exorcism to exorcise the four demons. 

Thus, we are treated to a horrible movie ending, The twist ending backfired on Paramount because the exorcism movie lost major box office business in the weeks to follow. It didn't take long for the bad word-of-mouth to get around. 

The Devil Inside twist ending frustrated the moviegoing public. We expected to watch a super movie ending. However, the poor execution throughout the fake documentary demonstrated that moviegoers are much more intelligent then the movie studio and the filmmakers make them out to be. 

A twist ending in an exorcism movie with no resolution (no last exorcism and or identifying the demons) is horrible filmmaking. The twist ending in The Last Exorcism movie is excellent, conveying an evil account of demonic possession that gives the moviegoer nightmares long after the initial viewing. 

The Devil Inside is a pile of exorcism crap with a horrible movie ending. The twist ending is unlike most horror movies. The filmmakers didn't care enough to respect the audience. In essence, The Devil Inside twist ending will future film halls with discussions about the worst twist ending in movies.

Final Destination 5 twist ending


Final Destination 5 is the last movie in the Final Destination franchise. We notice a major twist ending in the metaphysical movie about death. If you haven't watched Final Destination 5 yet, beware that this movie ending spoiler features major spoilers.

***Major Spoilers***

Sam stabs his good friend Peter in the back (no pun intended) to save his girlfriend Molly from what would've been another disastrous ending for the former The Walking Dead cast member. 

Sam accepts Agent Jim Block's life to abandon his fate. Supposedly, the person who is destined to die can live if they kill another person. However, Sam never intentionally killed Agent Block. Peter planned to kill Molly to take her life. 

The twist ending begins in the next scene. Peter and Molly are ready to take their much awaited flight to Paris. Sam accepted a cook internship in Paris. The two defied death to survive another day. 

Sam struggles with the overhead compartment on their seat side. Therefore, Sam loads the bag in the compartment adjacent to their seating. The flight attendant secures the overhead department above Sam and Molly's seat. 

The twist ending is now obvious. Young combative adolescents are removed from the airplane. We notice American Pie's Stiffler walking with he group. Alex and Carter are being restrained. Claire also follows because she feels a connection to what Alex is experiencing. 

Seeing the Final Destination characters, hearing the eerie song, and the flight attendant mentioning the kid had a vision confirmed the twist all along. We are watching a prequel to Final Destination. Sam and Molly are flying on Flight 180, the doomed flight that crashed in New York City in the Final Destination (2000) movie. 

Sam views his flight ticket, which shows the 2000 date as consistent with the Final Destination movie released in 2000. This is one plane Sam and Molly should've avoided. Every unfortunate event pointed the couple away from taking this flight. The plane's wing catches fire, creating intense pressure in the cabin. 

The side of the plane blows open to suck out several people, including Molly. Molly smashes into the wing to combust into many bloody pieces. Once the explosion ignites the entire plane, Sam dies. The fiery debris project into the ocean. We see another take on the real events in the Final Destination plane crash. 

Even more disturbing is the fact that Nathan accepted Roy's life. The company performed an autopsy to discover Roy's impending brain aneurysm. As a result, Roy was expected to die prior to actually dying in Nathan's place. The engine from the airplane dropped into the bar to crush Nathan into pulp.     

If you want to watch Final Destination movies in sequential order: 
  1. Final Destination 5
  2. Final Destination
  3. Final Destination 2
  4. Final Destination 3
  5. The Final Destination 
The twist ending in Final Destination 5 is that it's a prequel to Final Destination. Sam and Molly are flying on flight 180, the plane that crashes in Final Destination (2000). The Final Destination plot design is arranged in sequential order from Final Destination 5 to The Final Destination.

The twist ending clues are removing the adolescents from the plane, the flight attendant mentioning the kid having a vision and the plane ticket showing us a 2000 date. As in most Final Destination movies, a relevant song plays to alert the main character of their demise. 

The Final Destination 5 twist ending is catchy since we never expect the movie to be a prequel. Nonetheless, the reversed 180 on the restaurant and the Paris internship point to the twist ending.

The Thing (2011) twist ending

The recent The Thing (2011) movie is supposedly a remake of the 1982 John Carpenter horror classic. In the newest The Thing, the twist ending reveals otherwise, that we are watching the plot unfold into a clever  movie with a twist. If you haven't watched The Thing (2011), please beware the ending will be revealed.

***Movie Spoiler***

The Thing (2011) features a clever twist ending. Kate and Sam leave the spaceship. They destroyed what they think is left of the Alien virus. Sam enters the vehicle. He waits for Kate to get into the vehicle too. 

Kate surveys Sam, hesitating to sit beside him in the snow vehicle. She tells him about how she knew he was human. On the way to the spaceship, Kate looks at Sam's earring and smiles. 

The Thing is unable to replicate any metal objects. Sam must've been infected inside the spaceship. He touches the wrong ear, definitely revealing to the moviegoer he is no longer Sam. 

Kate apologizes to Sam. She torches him alive. Sam's human shell and The Thing burn. We assume kills the remaining Alien virus. 

Back at camp, a helicopter lands on the ground. The pilot calls out for camp members. Lars, who we thought died, frantically runs outside. He is acting hysterical, telling the pilot they must go after the dog. 

The same Husky dog is featured in the opening sequence to the original The Thing (1982). The Thing (2011) twist ending conveys to us that we are watching a prequel to the original movie. 

Lars and the pilot will continue to shoot at the dog carrying the Alien Virus. Eventually, the helicopter will crash. The dog will make it into another camp to infect everyone except for a few characters, with one being Kurt Russell. 

The Thing (2011) twist ending is that this movie is a prequel to the original horror classic released in 1982. Every event leads us up to the ending, and then another round of Alien infestations in The Thing (1982). 

The camp is later visited in The Thing (1982) movie. The Thing (2011) twist ending is obvious to horror movie fans who watched The Thing (1982) version. 

The Thing (2011) is a great movie with a twist ending we never expected until the dog comes running out and Lars and the helicopter go after the Alien virus. Thus, the plot makes sense that this Alien virus can infect any living host.

Devil twist ending

John Erick Dowdle's The Devil movie features a good twist ending that is rather shocking. We never expect the movie ending to twist the movie plot in another direction. If you haven't watched the Devil movie, then stop reading this twist ending assessment now.

***Movie Spoiler***

The Devil twist ending is consistent with most M. Night Shyamalan movies. The moviegoer is always treated to a twist ending. Most moviegoers identify M. Night as Mr. Twist Ending.  

Essentially, M. Night sponsored the Devil movie because his star power is capable of propelling a new movie into blockbuster status. The Devil movie features a frightening twist ending which ties up all loose ends in the plot design. We see the Devil movie as a homage to M. Night's movies.  

Detective Bowden's wife and son died in an explained car accident four years prior. Bowden watches the events in the elevator from the security control room. 

The Mechanic (Logan Marshall Green) is the last person to survive in the elevator. Every elevator occupant died in a mysterious way. Thus, the characters are sinful humans that alerted the devil. 

The twist ending in the Devil movie is the old woman (Jenny O'Hara) resurrecting herself as the Devil in flesh. The devil speaks through the old woman, telling the Mechanic that he is ready to take the sinful young man. 

The Devil rises up with dark eyes. Most moviegoers will find a Devil sighting as an eerie scene in any movie. The Mechanic is imaginably frightened. He admits to his past sin, confessing a car accident that killed two people. The Mechanic leaves a note on the car to say he was so sorry. 

Bowden begins to believe Ramirez's Devil claim. It is one day that is very odd. Everything wrong resides inside the elevator, packed with sinful people who could care less about others. In the twist ending, the Devil frightens the Mechanic enough to make him change. 

Bowden escorts the Mechanic to jail. He reveals his anger to the wrongdoer, but then forgives the man for killing his wife and son. The twist ending is show that forgiving another person can keep hate from manifesting inside. 

Hate is the root of evil. The Devil twist ending shocks the moviegoer with revealing the Devil in the flesh. The old woman is basically a decoy, a human shell that carries the Devil. The elevator occupant are sinners whose souls belong with the Devil. Nonetheless, the Mechanic confesses his sin and defeats the Devil in the process. 

The Devil twist ending is satisfying. The twist ending answers the movie plot questions. In the Devil movie, the plot twist exposes the sinners to deal out the ultimate movie ending. Bowden learns the truth about his wife and son. 

The movie twist ending reveals the Devil in flesh taking sinful souls. Nevertheless, one person is saved after confessing his sin and asking for forgiveness. Detective Bowden forgives the person who killed his wife and son in a car accident. The Devil loses the battle to take all sinful souls.
