Dead Silence Twist Ending

Screenwriter Leigh Whannell is known to feature twist endings. His Saw, Dead Silence, and Insidious movies employ plot twists to shift resolutions into unique directions. We never suspect Dead Silence will end with a twist.

However, the movie ending reflects back on small scenes to explain this twist ending. If you haven't watched Dead Silence, avoid reading the twist ending spoiler below.

***Dead Silence twist ending spoiler***

Mary Shaw is a ventriloquist accused of killing a small boy. This small boy attempted to embarrass Mary Shaw, revealing her doll wasn't real to the live audience. 

The town took the law into their own hands. They ripped Maria Shaw's tongue out, and then buried her with all of her dolls. 

The curse is that Maria Shaw would rip your tongue out. This story was told to children to scare them. Mary would kill any person who screamed after seeing her, removing their tongues and hollowing out their heads. 

In the twist ending, Jamie approached his wheelchair-bound father. His father slouched over, exposing his hollowed-out back cavity. It is then we learn the truth about Jamie's father. 

Ella Ashen, presumed to be the wife of Jamie's father, is an expert ventriloquist. She carved out the perfect doll of his father, tricking him into believing he was actually alive. 

The twist is revealed through flashbacks in which Jamie remembers Ella next to his father's side. We can see Ella guiding his voice and body movement.  

In this twist ending,  a possessed Ella turns into Mary Shaw and kills Jamie. Ella tells Jamie who is the dummy now? She kills him. The trickery is the spirit of Maria Shaw murdering Jamie's wife to draw him close to his father and the town. As a result of this, Jamie is the last living descendant of families connected to those who were responsible for Mary Shaw's death.  

Cool twist ending. Leigh Whannell uses plot twists in all of his movies. Watch his Saw and Insidious movies for these clever twist endings. Insidious features a similar ending to Dead Silence. Lastly, watch the original Saw movie to witness possibly his best twist ending. 

The Loft twist ending

The Loft, a movie about five married men who share a luxury loft, featured a twist ending. We never expected this twist, but it is obvious the writer went the extra mile to conceal this twist until the truth exposed an unsuspecting character.

Back in 2011, I could have watched a free screening of The Loft in Los Angeles. I didn't R.S.V.P. in time, so the screening spots filled up and I missed watching this thriller movie. However, those in attendance at this free screening may have contributed excellent feedback to stall the release of The Loft. The movie didn't reach the box office until last year, which turned out as a box office failure.

We will discuss the twist ending below to shed light on the writer's intentions.

***Spoiler Alert***

In The Loft, Luke Seacord (Wentworth Miller) loved Sarah Deakins (Isabel Lucas) beyond words. He was jealous that Vincent Stevens (Karl Urban) had an affair with Sarah. Out of love, Luke drugged Sarah, and then injected a fatal dose of insulin in her arm. 

Why did Luke do this? If Luke couldn't have Sarah, nobody could be with her. He orchestrated a fake suicide to make Vincent pay for always taking advantage of everyone. 

What Chris Vanowen (James Marsden) discovered is that Sarah didn't die from an overdose. She was in fact alive after presumably taking the pills. Luke is shocked to learn this. Philip (Mathias Schoenaerts) mutilated Sarah's arm to make it appear she committed suicide.  

Chris coerced the truth out of Luke, telling him Vincent will go on trial for her murder. The real twist ending jolts the previous plan to teach Vincent a lesson for his transgressions. Luke wrote the fake suicide note that read, "See you in the next life." 

Luke gains the trust of his friends by sharing secret tapings of Vincent sleeping with women who are important to them. To keep the focus off of him, he reiterates that Vincent uses everyone and deserves his fate. Vincent tries to explain his case, but Luke leaves out the suicide letter. 

The female detective shares that Vincent's prints are on the knife, no suicide note and the pills didn't kill her. This revelation precedes the final twist. 

The main twist ending is that Luke setup this fake suicide out of love for Sarah. He didn't know that she was alive before Philip slit her wrist, so this revelation is a shock. Sarah admitted to Luke she felt nothing for him, and maybe they could be together in the next lifetime. 

Luke wanted Vincent to pay for being with Sarah. His grand plan gets exposed because Chris pieces together the facts. He finds the fake suicide note in the trash. In most good twists, flashbacks are used to reveal all major points. We watch these flashbacks to tie up all loose ends. 

Nevertheless, Vincent getting charged for murder twisted the plot further. After learning of this, Luke indicates that his brother Philip killed Sarah. Chris interrogates Vincent to give up, it is over. 

The Loft twist ending is executed quite well to trick viewers. Ultimately, the irony is that Luke actually commits suicide himself after he faked the suicide of Sarah to repay Vincent. In the end, Luke ends his life to avoid embarrassment. His final words to Chris: tell his wife and his kid he loves them.

Fast & Furious 6 twist ending

Fast & Furious 6 deals out a twist ending. There is more to this twist than most moviegoers anticipate. Recent Fast and Furious movies are infamous for showing a twist at the end.

However, the Fast & Furious twist explains the plot design. If you haven't watched Fast & Furious 6 yet, then avoid reading the twist ending below.

***Spoiler Alert***

***Twist Ending***

What is the Fast & Furious 6 twist ending? Did you walk out of the movie theater too early? Miss the movie end credits? Fast & Furious 6 twist ending occurs in the post-credits. 

Dom and his surrogate family have a barbecue to celebrate their reunion at the Los Angeles home featured in The Fast and the Furious (2001). Fast & Furious 6 is believed to end with this scene.

Not so fast! The post-credits show two hands steering a car that is powering down Tokyo streets. Japanese voices reveal a high speed chase going on downtown. This scene is reminiscent of Tokyo Drift, which is a twist to explain the plot design. 

A silver Mercedes slams right Han's orange Mazda RX7 Veilside. Han's car rolls on its backside. A surprise twist is that Owen Wilson (played by Jason Statham) exits the silver Mercedes.  He walks up to a trapped Han and drops down a silver necklace belonging to Letty. 

Owen walks away, as Han's car explodes in the background. He calls Dom, telling him, "You don't know me, but you are about to". Fast & Furious 6 ends with a twist. Tokyo Drift is now a part of the Fast and Furious movie plot design. Han is now dead. 

This post-credit scene opens the door to the catalyst of Fast & Furious 7. It is highly possible that Lucas Black will make his comeback in Fast 7.    

Sinister twist ending

Sinister features an awesome twist ending. The plot is designed to give clues of the twist. 2012 is the year good metaphysical movies with twist endings. Ethan Hawke plays a great author that stumbles upon a box of Super 8. The twist ending in Sinister is not your typical happy ending. If you haven't watched Sinister yet, beware we will be revealing the twist ending.

***Movie Spoiler***

The Sinister twist ending is unpredictable. We see the Oswalt family exit their home as quickly as possible. Ellison realizes his book plan - moving a home involved in a murder scene - backfired on the family. 

Deputy So-and-So (name Ellison gives him) attempts to call Ellison throughout the day. Ellison ignores the Deputy's call several times, albeit he takes his call. There is a pattern to the murders. Every family lived in the same homes, so there is a pattern to the murders.  

If you remember back to the various footage, there is a camera following the murders. The families were usually helpless, unknowingly meeting their impending death in different ways. The twist ending is that every missing child in these cases committed the murders. Pagan deity Baghul, the eater of children, possessed the child to kill their family. 

Ellison rediscovers the movie box again. He is shocked to see a box he torched at his previous home. He finds an envelope with split film ends. This film ends given an explanation to the murders. Baghul possessed the missing children, who are each responsible for killing their families.

Ashley is the final piece to the puzzle. She poisons her father. In the dining area, Ashley ties up her family. Ellison is helpless. Ashely drags an ax in one hand, and a film camera in another. She butchers her entire family. The missing children show up on the film footage. 

Baghul appears behind Ashley. He picks her up and the two enter the film screen. Sinister twist ending conveys that Baghul possessed the missing children from the previous murders. These children filmed the murders. The catch is the children committed the murders with a lawn mower, fire, hanging, and then finally an ax. 

Ashley draws a picture of her family chopped up in pieces. She tells her father that she will make him famous again. He is longing to find his groove again after writing a best selling crime book. Baghul possessed the children to murder their families. The children committed the murder while filming their insidious act.

Ellison and his family die. There are no survivors. The last remaining child killers are consumed in the film. Baghul is an evil Pagan demon that recruits the children to carry out his evil plan. 

Sinister conveys a cycle that keeps repeating itself. The next family will discover the same movie box. They will watch the film. In the end, one child will murder them.     

Great twist ending to end an awesome horror movie. Sinister is a movie well worth watching this weekend.    

House at the End of the Street twist ending

House at the end of the street twist ending resembles Sleepaway Camp. We sense the movie ending will serve up an identical twist. The psychological thriller builds up tension to release a good twist that explains the motivation driving the plot.

Moviegoers are given enough clues to understand the twist ending. Good twist endings are predicted or are shocking revelations that answer the inciting incident. The inciting incident is revealed in the first 5 minutes of the movie with a murder.

We want to learn more about the murder. The twist ending explains the inciting incident. if you haven't watched House at the End of the Street yet, then beware the twist ending is shown below.

***Movie Spoiler***

Elissa shoots Ryan. He falls to the ground. She draws closer to Ryan. While Elissa carefully searches Ryan's pockets, he grabs a hold of her wrist. Sarah whacks Ryan on the side of his head with a mallet. He drops to the ground, supposedly dead from the gunshot wounds and the head trauma. 

The plot points prior to this basement scene reveal that Ryan is more than just a victim. He accidentally kills a girl we think is his sister Carrie Anne. While trying to silence the girl, Ryan breaks her neck on accident. In the movie ending, Ryan replaces Carrie Anne with another Penn State college girl. 

Elissa finds blue contact lenses in the garbage can. She remembers that Carrie Anne has natural blue eyes. The college girl is a Carrie Anne replacement to fill Ryan's need to connect with his deceased sister. He never recovered from Carrie Anne's death. The twist ending is ready to deal out the shock.  

Elissa and Sarah are moving out of their home. We feel the House at the End of the Street will end. A psychiatric institute is shown in plain sight. We enter a dark room. Ryan sits there quiet. We know then he survived the head trauma and the gunshot wounds. 

We see a flashback of a little girl sitting at a table. The mother tells the young girl Carrie Anne happy birthday. The little girl says I'm Ryan. Thus, the mother slaps him and tell him to shut up because he is Carrie Anne. 

The twist ending is that Carrie Anne never murdered her parents. Ryan accidentally pushed his sister too hard on the swings and she endured fatal head trauma. Ryan's punishment was to replace Carrie Anne. Ryan got tired of living as Carrie Anne that he murdered his parents. 

House at the End of the Street does a good job to conceal the twist ending. We get a few clues to put the plot pieces together. House at the End of the Street delivers a clever twist ending to explain the opening scene. We realize that Carrie Anne died as a young child. As a result, Ryan was forced to accept punishment to live as Carrie Anne. The flashbacks convey the reason he is out of his mind. 

The Possession twist ending

The Possession movie features a shocking twist ending. We expect a wild movie ending, but the last minute is a major twist to spin the plot into another direction. If you haven't watched The Possession movie, then avoid reading the movie spoiler that reveals the details to the twist ending.

***Movie spoiler***

Tzadok senses there is something wrong. The environment is too peaceful. He performs the Jewish exorcism again. Tzadok chants an old Hebrew exorcism prayer to exorcise the female demonic spirit. We see the demon entity crawl out of Clyde's mouth, pressing its hand against his upper lip. 

The demon slides on the ground toward the Dibbuk box. Tzadok casts the demon back into the box. Em and Clyde are saved from the wrath of evil. 

A ring falls to the ground, spinning in circles. Tzadok picks up the ring. We know this ring is an important plot point. He drapes the demon box with a white Jewish satin to trap the malicious spirit. 

Clyde is back at home. Stephanie watches her ex-husband Clyde raiding the refrigerator like old times. Clyde and Stephanie hug, a sign they will get back together soon. A major conflict provide a happy ending. 

Not so fast! The twist is on in the movie ending. Tzadok calls Clyde. He wants to return the BMW car. Nonetheless, Clyde tells Tzadoth he can keep the car since he has no plans to leave his family. 

We see the BMW coast down the residential road. It is quiet. There is something wrong. It is like watching classic The Omen movies, where we sense an evil event. The Dibbuk box is on the passenger seat.  

The BMW crosses the intersection, and then a truck smashes the car apart. Local bystanders engage to save any crash victims that are trapped inside the car. The BMW is an utter mess, which the street appears like a car junkyard. 

A female voice is chanting Hebrew words. We can't understand the chants, but the camera draws to the demon box to reveal the Dibbuk box survived the car crash. This crash scene is executed perfectly, unlike the movie disaster we got in The Devil Inside ending. 

Why does this demon box represent a twist ending? In most exorcism movies, the exorcism is performed to exorcise demons. The exorcist puts an end to the evil. Tzabok makes a rookie mistake with failing to put the ring inside the box. All possessions must be replaced to trap the evil demon spirit. 

The ring is left out to keep the conclusion open. Another person will claim possession of the box. The possession cycle will affect the next family over and over again until the exorcism is performed right. 

Thus, the twist ending is seeing a shocking ending to what we think is a happy ending Clyde and his family rekindling their lost love. Before Em is possessed, the family is in disarray. The possession strengthens the core, helping them to fill the void. 

Tzabok overlooks the ring. He never asked Clyde or Emily about the ring. The ring is the first possession Em pulls out of the Dibbuk box. It is supposed to represent the last possession to reenter the box.

The Possession twist ending is awesome. We expect a big event. When the BMW drives on the empty road, we sense a big car accident will end the movie. The twist is a surprise. Pay close attention to the ring. It is one of the major plot points that drives The Possession story. 

What do you think about The Possession twist ending?   

The Book of Eli twist ending

The Book of Eli is a post-apocalyptic movie. There is a major plot twist that changes the entire movie. If you haven't watched The Book of Eli movie yet, beware that you will view major spoilers.

***Major Spoilers***

The braille Bible reveals that Eli is blind. He memorized the entire Bible, which he recites to an Alcatraz member to create a new edition. The Book of Eli twist ending is Eli's blindness. 

The moviegoers never realized that Eli was blind because he handled himself quite well. He shot an arrow with precision, carried around a Bible he reads daily, and fights with extreme precision. We also never see the inside of The Bible. The braille Bible is a major plot twist. In light of the braille Bible, the moviegoers discover that Eli is blind.

The Book of Eli twist ending is disclosed until the reveal. Carnegie risks the life of his men and himself to retrieve a braille Bible. His previous actions deny him the opportunity to use The Bible. The twist ending is none the less Eli's blindness that is never revealed until the movie ending.

Silent Hill twist ending

Silent Hill arrived in the movie box office in 2006. The metaphysical movie features a twist ending that explains the movie plot. If you haven't watched Silent Hill, then we recommend you avoid reading the twist ending spoiler below.

***Movie Spoiler***

Rosa Da Silver fights against the evil town people and the monsters that reside in the Silent Hill town, an evil underworld. She has no clue about what is causing the unexplainable events to occur. Rosa's husband Christopher goes looking for his wife and daughter in the deserted Silent Hill town. Silent Hill is a town that previously burned down due to a major fire.    

In the Silent Hill twist ending, the moviegoer finally discovers Rosa and her daughter Sharon are dead. The two died in a car accident (the turning point), which is the reason their souls are capable of moving about the subplanes of The Astral Hell. The evil astral beings and town people remain trapped in Silent Hill because they continue to channel their hate into revenge.  

Rosa could never communicate with Christopher. We think Christopher will eventually hear Rosa shouting on the other side of the wall. However, Rosa and the policewoman, Cybil Bennett are trapped in another dimension.   

The twist ending reveals that Rosa and her daughter are dead. Cybil, Rosa, and Sharon died in a collision on an icy road leading up to Silent Hill. Without knowing so, the three characters assimilated into the town with deceased citizens who died in the previous fire.

Rosa and Sharon's point in view (darkness ambience) inside their home show the two are indeed deceased. Christopher probably felt their presence, but he couldn't see his wife and daughter in human form. The clever twist ending explained the movie plot, conveying to us that only the dead can see the true evil from within Silent Hill.  

Shutter Island twist ending

Shutter Island has one of those twist endings with a major revelation. Leonardo DiCaprio plays Teddy Daniels, a detective investigating the whereabouts of a missing patient. In the movie ending, the plot twist will have moviegoers reflecting back to the beginning, middle, and then to the end again. 

***Spoiler Alert***

Detective Daniels is dispatched out to Shutter Island to investigate a missing patient. The missing female patient tells Daniles there are unauthorized experiments going on at Shutter Island. 

In the Shutter Island twist ending, Dr. Cawley (Ben Kingsley) informs Teddy he killed his wife after she murdered his children. It is an accident that leaves his mind crazy. Teddy refuses to believe, though he finally remembers the moment he comes home to find his children laying on the grass dead. 

His wife Dolores is acting as if nothing happened. After Teddy attempts to resuscitate his children, he eventually loses it and accidentally kills his wife in the process. Teddy creates a fantasy world in his mind to suppress the traumatic experience which institutionalized him. 

Chuck Aule (Mark Ruffalo) is supposedly Teddy's partner. The two are viewed as U.S. Marshalls. However, Chuck is a physician at Shutter Island. In the final scene, Teddy continues to believe he is a U.S. Marshall instead of an ailing patient. Dr. Cawley authorizes a lobotomy to free his mind. 

Shutter Island twist ending conveys an imaginary world devised to suppress horrible memories. The movie ending explains the entire plot with clever tricks throughout the story. Shutter Island executes the the best twist ending to reveal the truth of Teddy's state of being. Great twist ending!     

Sleepaway Camp (1983) Twist Ending

Sleepaway Camp (1983) features one of the best twist endings in horror movies. Several camp attendees are murdered throughout the film, though we never discover the true identity of the actual killer until the movie ending. This is one twist ending you'll never forget.

***Spoiler Alert*** 

The young Angela integrated herself into the camp quite well. We could identify her as an instrumental part of the camp. However, Angela is revealed at the end to be the camp killer. Even more shocking, Angela is sporting a penis because she is a dude.

The mother raised Angela as a girl. Nonetheless, Angela's real name is Peter. Peter never realizes he is a boy. Thus, Angela experiences an identity crisis at the camp. The suppressed rage attributed to Peter's gender switch could've sent the confused Angela spiraling out of control.

The two adolescents are shocked to see Angela standing there with a knife, next to a decapitated head of another male camp member. With this twist ending, moviegoers hung out on the edge of their seats.

Angela makes a creepy Jack Nicholson The Shining face, an annoying hissing sound what we deem as coming from a psychotic person, and is revealed to be packing wood in an identity crisis reserved for film theory discussions.

This slasher film throws a curve ball with this twist ending, smacking the movie audience on the head with Angela's wood reveal. Seriously, Sleepaway Camp's movie ending is arguable one of the best twist endings in a low budget horror movie.

The moviegoer never expects to see a female killer packing wood. Angela is one scary ass killer who looks psycho as hell. In Sleepaway Camp, the movie audience is treated to a major twist ending that changes the entire movie plot through revealing the penis on a character mistaken as a girl.

Essentially, Angela knowingly thinks she is a girl, but in fact her true roots stick out in plain sight. Watch the video to see what many think is one of the best horror movie twist endings. Sleepaway Camp (1983) movie ending is indeed a shocker to most horror movie fans.
