I love watching films with an unsuspecting twist that catches you out! Obviously by naming them in this thread they wont be unsuspecting but there will still be a twist ;)

Anyway add on films to my list: -

Inside Man
The Usual Suspects
The Departed
The Game
The Uninvited
Saw
The Illusionist
The Prestige
The Others

O it was just that you said you were looking for suggestions which your yet to see....

anyway, yes it is a clever film....I hear from others though that if you've seen "The Tale of Two Sisters", it is a remake from that!

Surveillance appears to be a bit of a marmite flavoured movie, it scores 6.4 on IMDb but that's an average generated by a fair amount of people who rate it quite highly (like me 8-) ) and an almost equal number of people who hate it (like you :wink: ).

Although I disagree that the twist in Surveillance is 'so obvious', does a twist in a movie becoming obvious to the viewer before it is revealed necessarily make it worthless? For example I guessed the 'twist' in The Sixth Sense quite early on but I still viewed it as a great twist regardless of it being (IMO) pretty damn obvious...

No mention of Van Helsing?
Surely the ultimate twist in the tale for you, Chuck as it came after the film was over and back in its box!

One of my favourite films has a great twist. It's a British film called 'Dead Mans Shoes'. It's written and directed by a guy called Shane Meadows. He did 'This Is England? This is much better, great film and great twist. I recommend.
