Warning: there are Spoilers for every movie mentioned in this articleThe horror genre is alive and well, thanks to the wonderfully sadistic Art the Clown in his latest sequel Terrifier 3, plus other great franchise movies such as the surprisingly humorous Smile 2. One of the best elements of the horror genre is not just the actual frights and scares that audiences get from the kills and suspense, it's also when there's a plot twist that no one saw coming.

Sometimes, these surprises work extremely well. For example, when John Kramer rises from the dead in 2004's Saw, or when the hag-like creature appears in Barbarian from 2022. They were great plot twists that we never saw coming. However, despite the best intentions of all involved, there are many horror movies with a plot twist that's so obvious, that when it happens it's a let-down rather than a horrific shock.
