Speaking of the "reversal" of the plot in a movie, it is actually the most commonly used technique in suspense films, and it is also the touchstone that tests the screenwriting skills and director's shooting skills. In the process of watching the movie, the audience will continue to guess the next step according to the existing plot, but reality repeatedly breaks the situation and turns to the completely opposite direction, which makes the film more eye-catching, stuns the audience’s appetite, and even keeps exclaiming "So it can be like this!"
Looking at the entire film history, all the reverse suspense movies can be summed up in one sentence: What you think you think is what you think. Today, I will share with you 8 recommended high-scoring suspenseful films of God Reversal. The ending of each film can be said to be jaw-dropping and tantamount to initiating!
1, "Contained Island" (2010)
, a movie that has me recollecting for a long time, seems full of logic and full of suspense. "The Confinement Island" is based on the American novelist Dennis Lehan’s novel of the same name. The story takes place on an isolated island in Boston Bay. 66 mentally ill criminals are being held here. There are rumors that various human bodies are going on on the island. experiment. Under heavy guard, Rachel, a female criminal who killed three of her own children, disappeared strangely.

And Ted came here with a secret purpose-to find the murderer who killed his wife (Michelle Williams). The story unfolds following this clue, searching for the missing mystery, visiting hospital staff and patients, carpet search...Ted searched the entire island and accidentally discovered that there was another mysterious file on the island: patient 67's! All the secrets on the island are entangled with this extra person. But who is number 67? The entire background of
Confinement Island is set in a mental prison on the island, so the whole movie is filled with a depressive atmosphere. The sky is gray and the walls are hard. The turbulent sea around the island is beating this closed lonely prison, as if pushing it to the high-altitude gray whirlpool, helplessly attacking people's hearts. Such atmosphere rendering is undoubtedly very successful. The audience feels nervous and depressed, getting closer to the protagonist's inner feelings and psychological changes, making the theme of "confinement" clearer. As for the reversal of the following story, it is even more shocking and sad.
2, "Tragedy on the Nile" (1978)
is a recommended and timeless classic detective film, this film is adapted from Agatha Christie's novel, all-star lineup, luxurious clothing, and won the best costume design Golden statue award. The story tells the story of a wealthy newlywed couple who was inexplicably murdered during their honeymoon on a cruise ship on the Nile. Many passengers on the ship were suspected. But under the detectives of the famous Belgian detective Pu Ruo, finally found the real murderer. The film is quite exotic and contemporary, but director John Killaman’s handling methods lack personal style. Fortunately, the finale of the truth is still quite attractive.
In addition to the confusing plot, the most impressive thing about the film is perhaps the big-name stars with outstanding acting skills and personable style. In fact, at least five of them are Oscar winners. Detective Poirot is played by the famous American movie star and playwright Peter Ustinov. He has won two Oscars for Best Supporting Actor for "Spartacus" and "Topkapi Palace." Poirot’s assistant, Colonel Reis, is played by David Niven, who won the Oscar for Best Actor for "The Parting Table". Linnet's love rival Jacqueline played the role of Hollywood's budding star Mia Farrow. This film can be regarded as a rare blockbuster at the time and now. The most fascinating aspect of the
film is that everyone on the ship is suspected of killing Linnet. During the reasoning process of Detective Poirot, all the imaginary scenes were deduced, and the poor victim was killed by N people in turn. Every time after listening to a reasoning, the suspect is conceived with a ghost, and is frightened by the reasoning. The picture is very subtle, everyone is in danger, and the suspenseful atmosphere created is impressive. The funny thing is that Poirot himself has suspicions and was deduced again (according to the good-hearted bean friends, Poirot himself did not doubt himself, it seems that his memory is really unreliable when he is old)
The Nile, the pyramids, and Egypt are full of mysterious places. The confined space formed by a cruise ship itself is painted with a symbol of suspense and charm. Film tone, The composition is full of exotic styles, the costumes are magnificent and elegant, highlighting the noble atmosphere and the identity of the characters, and the plot is complicated and confusing. Poirot's reasoning is very detailed, the dialogue is humorous and humorous, and after a laugh, he ponders and foreshadows.
3, "The Lost Lovers" (2014)
This is a story in which you can't guess from the beginning to the end what will happen next. The narrative perspective is changed, and the truth and lies are intertwined. The original novel has been ranked in the New York Times hardcover novel for eight consecutive weeks. No. 1 on the best-selling list. This is a modern fable about marriage. Regarding marriage, the appearance in this story is still the dilemma of the eternal siege and tomb, passion to daily life, fantasy to disillusionment, love to indifference to resentment to each other. The film is the best box office record in North America among the films directed by David Fincher, beating the best before.
is adapted from Gillian Flynn’s best-selling novel of the same name. It tells a warm but suspenseful story: Nick (Ben Affleck) and Amy (Rosamande Parker) are perfect in the eyes of others Loving couple, but life is unstoppably getting more and more plain...On the day of their fifth wedding anniversary, Amy unexpectedly disappeared! Nick confesses affectionately through the media, frantically looking for his missing lover. However, Amy’s diary seems to point out that Nick is the real murderer...
4, "The Mist" (2007)
This film is adapted from the work of the same name by the thriller Stephen King, Stephen King’s status in the United States is like Jin Yong in martial arts is generally also a best-selling writer. His work is also a frequent visitor to film adaptations. So far, nearly a hundred works have been put on the screen. "The Mist" is a work completed by Stephen King in 1984. Since its introduction, many directors have planned to put it on the screen.
"The Mist" is really one of the few magic films I have seen. The superficial plot is attractive enough, and the underlying metaphor is thought-provoking. The last thing in the movie that really makes people horrible is not the fog or the creatures hidden in the fog. The horror that goes deep into the bones is actually by our side, from the trapped crowd in the supermarket. Under the torture of unbearable pressure, people can often change a very scary side. This film does not only stop at the level of scaring people and telling stories, but more deeply digs into people’s inner fear space...
5, " "Fatal ID" (2003)
is a wonderful suspense film, and there is no truth until the end. This movie is too classic. There is no useless lens, and the suspense is wonderful. All plots have foreshadowings, all foreshadowings have deep meaning, and the overall logic is not BUG. It has changed most suspenseful movies that love mystery, and the process ends in a flicker. The big turning point and thinking back are all the flaws of loopholes. The first part may be a bit old-fashioned, but the puzzle-solving stage in the middle part is very tense. After the truth is revealed, the plot is pushed to a jaw-dropping climax. What is rare is that at the end, it actually gives the audience again A tingling.
Watching this movie is like reading a brilliant detective novel. It can satisfy your curiosity, satisfy your addiction to being a detective, and save you the trouble of turning over the book, so the popularity of this movie is yours It is conceivable.
6, "Fight Club" (1999)
I have seen one of the most complex scripted movies, in which the plot correlation and many easter eggs are at the template level. After this film, David Fincher established his own "Dark Little" The status of "fresh" leader.
The movie "Fight Club" has a suspenseful color that is different from conventional suspense movies. This is caused by the theme and emotion of the film, but its suspense performance is very qualified, and it can present the information and give the audience emotions and ideas. Reasonable mobilization has achieved the effect of expressing the theme, and made the film's shooting and narrative skills more worthy of reflection and aftertaste, and increased the value of the film's research.
7, "Tuner" (2019)
was released in India in October 2018, and in China in April 2019. It's hard to see! The plot is changeable, the black humor is continuous, and there are countless reversals. It is really a god reversal and goose bumps! The beginning and the end of the movie and the last second shot of the male lead really leave a lot of room for imagination! This film is the top ten of India's top ten movies in 2018, and IMDb currently has a score of 9.0. This is the best suspense film I have watched this year, and I highly recommend it!
film "Tuner" adaptationThe classic short film "Tuner" since 2010. In the original 13-minute plot, every second makes people unable to look away, and almost no frame is redundant. Speaking of "adaptation", it has always been biased towards high-traffic IP movies. It has its own topic and popularity. As long as the quality is not too condemning, it will win the support of large fans with low risk and high return. But movies adapted from short films or niche works are on the contrary. Short film expansion is prone to procrastination. Fans of niche IPs have their own picky filters, and a bad producer can easily become a "eternal sinner".
Therefore, from 2010 to 2017, from 2010 to 2017, no directors from various countries dared to try to adapt a classic short film like "Tuner" with a Douban score of 9.2. Unexpectedly, eight years later, a little-known Indian director brought us unexpected joy.
8, "The Invisible Guest" (2016)
"The Invisible Guest" is a suspense film worth watching, with a Douban score of 8.8, the highest-rated European film on the 4th Douban Film Annual List, and ranked 66th on the TOP250 Bit, I believe that after watching this movie, most people will recommend it to those around you: the script is too wonderful, foreshadowing everywhere, layers of reversal, interlaced between reality and reality, undercurrents surging, smart people often fail, and they have the ability to be quiet. Last laugh. Spanish suspense films always surprise people.
