“Unmasking the Unexpected: The Twists That Transformed Horror into a Heart-Pounding Nightmare”
A Tale of Two Sisters
Korean horror A Tale of Two Sisters follows siblings Su-mi and Su-yeon as they navigate life after the death of their mother.

Don’t Look Now
This 1973 thriller stars Donald Sutherland as John, a father who relocates to Venice following the drowning death of his daughter. John and his wife become involved with two mysterious sisters, one of whom warns John he is in great danger. Far too late, John realizes that the harrowing visions he’s been having are premonitions of his own death, at the hands of a strange woman in a red coat.
Friday the 13th
The camp slasher Friday the 13th sparked an iconic franchise around the hockey mask-wearing maniac Jason, but he isn’t even the villain of the first film. His mother, Mrs Voorhees, is actually responsible for the first set of killings at Camp Crystal Lake.
Cabin in the Woods
Horror-comedy Cabin in the Woods is both funny and scary – not least because of its mindblowing and meta twist. In the typical set up, a group of students head to a dilapidated cabin for a weekend of partying. Little do they know the entire weekend is orchestrated in order to obtain sacrifices for ancient, evil (and gigantic) gods who are apparently huge horror movie fans.
Final Prayer
British horror Final Prayer has been called the most terrifying found footage film of all time – and for good reason. The film follows three men as they investigate supernatural goings-on in an ancient English church. Unbeknownst to them – and us – the church is actually a gigantic, living organism that devours the three men in a most horrifying twist.
