Twisty thrillers are my favourite kind of movies which is why I was very excited about Wandering Through the Shelves' Thursday Movie Picks this week. When I realised I've used most of my favourite twisty thrillers, well, I was no longer excited at that point. Lucky had that I had my music on shuffle mode and a song by an Italian rapper came on. How did it help me? Because each line of that song spoils a movie and I remembered about some pretty shocking twists. Without further ado, here are my picks.
PS I'm so awesome I kept this post spoiler free. I'm kidding. It's spoiler free because I was too busy (Giro d'Italia passed in front of my house yesterday and although I don't care about cycling at all it was freaking exciting and time-consuming) to write a decent post lol
Psycho (1960)
After stealing a lot of money from her employer, Marion Crane (Janet Leight) runs away and eventually gets lost and decides to spend the night at a desolate motel run by Norman Bates, a quiet young man dominated by his mother. I was aware of the twist when I first saw it but it still was so damn effective.Seven (1995)
Close to his retirement, detective William Somerset (Morgan Freeman) is paired with a short-tempered but idealistic young detective (Brad Pitt) and must stop a serial killer whose actions are inspired by the seven deadly sins. This caught me completely by surprise as it is one of the most clever twists ever.Child psychiatrist Malcolm Crowe (Bruce Willis) takes on the task to help a terrified boy (Haley Joel Osment) who is plagued by visions of ghosts. Someone spoiled this one for me and I couldn't stop thinking about the twist for the whole film but it still entertained me.
