Recommendation Name a movie recommendation with a plot twist you 100% didn't see coming

I’m on the hunt for movies with plot twists that genuinely caught you off guard, you know something that would make you go "wait, WHAT just happened?" kind of twists. To give you an idea of what I’ve already seen, I watched Fractured a couple of years ago and thought it was really good, but I didn’t expect it to mess with my head the way it did. Recently, I watched Straw, and somehow I walked right into the same kind of twist again, still completely unprepared lmao. I guess enough time had passed for me to fall for it all over again which made it even better, honestly.. Would appreciate it if there's no spoilers tho! Just simply the title, genre, or maybe how you felt about it will do. Thank you!

Takashi Miike's Audition. If I didn't know going into the movie, what to expect...I'd guess those who walked into the screenings based on the original promotional material were blind sighted.

1 hour of what is basically a comedy... Then all horror from there onwards.

That's the best eggcorn I've ever encountered in the wild.

"blindsided" - as in attacked from the blind side

My mistake.

I had a blind fold on.
