Part 2: Great Thriller Movies ... with a Twist!


Without further ado, here are the remaining great thrillers with a twist at the end.

7. Saw (Parts 1 to 7; 2004 to 2010, respectively): A personal note here: I do realise there are seven parts to this movie, but believe me once you watch part 1, you won't stop until you watch part 7! The movies revolve around a vigilante who rather than killing his victims outright involves them in a series of tests to gauge their willingness to live.



8. Passengers (2008): In this psychological thriller, a psychotherapist (Anne Hathaway) becomes suspicious when her clients, victims of a plane crash, begin to disappear.



9. House of 9 (2004): A thriller in which nine strangers are kidnapped and locked up in a house to involuntarily participate in a maniac's reality show, with a cash prize of five million dollars for the survivor.



10. A Little Trip to Heaven (2005): Another personal note: in all honesty, this movie does start a little slow but it picks up in the middle (or is it more towards the end?). In this thriller, an insurance adjuster (Forest Whitaker) investigates a suspicious fatal accident and the beneficiary of the death benefit (Julia Stiles).



11. Red Riding Hood (2011): This dark fantasy thriller revolves around the identity of a werewolf which terrorises a village and its relationship with the 'Red Riding Hood' (Amanda Seyfried).



12. The Village (2004): In this psychological thriller, the people in an isolated village believe that their peace treaty with mythical creatures living in the woods bryond them has come to an end.



Okay, so that's it FOR NOW. Be assured that there will be more (perhaps I can emulate Saw and make it seven installments ;)) as I continue my exploration and enjoyment of thrillers with a twist!
