00:00From easily overlooked frames that tease the reveal of the real big bad,
00:05to throwaway lines giving away the twist early,
00:08these are those creepy movie reveals you only notice when sitting down for a rewatch.
00:13Gareth here from WhatCulture.com and here are 10 disturbing movie reveals you only notice rewatching.
00:19Oh yeah, and spoilers incoming!
00:22Number 10, you can briefly see Duke's phone is in Miles' back pocket.
00:26Glass Onion, a Knives Out Mystery.
00:28The billionaire alpha co-founder known as Miles Braun didn't do the best job of covering his tracks during Glass Onion.
00:36As revealed by the brilliant Benoit Blanc, not only did Miles murder his ex-business partner Andy,
00:42Braun was also responsible for killing his pal Duke on his island.
00:46Blanc deduces that Duke must have discovered the truth about Andy's death before his own demise.
00:51Braun then seized his phone and gun after poisoning the big lad with pineapple juice,
00:56something he was deathly allergic to.
00:59Doing the former in a bid to keep the gang from learning Duke knew of Andy's end via Google Alert before his own sudden death.
01:06And what do you know, when you revisit the shocking moment Duke surprisingly drops,
01:11get a good look at Edward Norton's behind.
01:14No, not for that reason.
01:15Get your head out the gutter.
01:16As he darts away from the group searching for Duke's phone on his person,
01:20said object can very much be seen in his back pocket long before Blanc discovers it in the film's closing stages.
01:27Just like Miles being an idiot throughout,
01:29this now rather obvious hint at him being behind the disturbing death
01:33was staring both the audience and Blanc in the face.
01:36Number 9, No Incoming Calls Allowed hints at one hell of a twist.
01:41Fight Club
01:421999's classic David Fincher flick, Fight Club,
01:46eventually sees the reveal of the narrator and Tyler Durden surprisingly being the same person all along.
01:52This meant that the narrator was actually the one sleeping with Marla,
01:56and the mind behind Project Mayhem.
01:58However, on a number of occasions over the course of this cult hit,
02:01Fincher definitely made it clear that something rather strange was going on underneath the surface.
02:07Things like the odd flash of Durden,
02:09and the narrator being pulled out of the driver's side post car crash.
02:13Despite Tyler initially being seen driving,
02:15all alluded to the aforementioned big reveal.
02:18But perhaps the most freaky clue comes during the moment the narrator opts to give Durden a call on a payphone,
02:24after his apartment blows up.
02:26Durden initially doesn't pick up,
02:28but said phone then suddenly begins to ring and the narrator answers.
02:32A closer look at said box on a rewatch, though,
02:34reveals the words No Incoming Calls Allowed written in bold on it.
02:38Though you likely missed it during your first viewing of the controversial 90s project,
02:42Fincher was letting you know once again that there was more to this disturbing story than meets the eye.
02:48Did you spot any of the other Tyler narrator twist clues sprinkled in the Fight Club chaos?
02:53Well, drop your favourites in the comments section down below, my friends.
02:568. The Real Reason Adelaide Didn't Want To Go To The Beach
03:00Us
03:01After wandering around a spooky house of mirrors at the Santa Cruz beach boardwalk,
03:06a young Adelaide suddenly comes face to face with her doppelganger,
03:09and looks understandably a little shook up.
03:12However, it's only revealed late on that the young girl we're initially introduced to here,
03:17ended up being forcibly replaced by said double red.
03:20But about an hour or so before that creepy development is confirmed on screen,
03:24the apparent Addy gives off a few clues as to who she really is that are only detectable on a rewatch.
03:31With the family planning on heading to the Santa Cruz beach during their vacation,
03:35fake Addy clearly isn't into the idea.
03:38Eventually, her hubby Gabe is able to convince her it's a good call,
03:41but only if they leave before dark.
03:44When revisiting Jordan Peele's eerie masterpiece,
03:47this reluctance to return to the scene of her swap
03:49acts as the first delicious breadcrumb on the road to learning the red truth.
03:557. Emil Mondavarius Itches Suggest A Big Reveal Is Coming
03:59Scooby-Doo
04:00While still technically a family film,
04:03the late reveal of Scrappy-Doo being the evil pup sitting within a mechanical Emil Mondavarius
04:08is still a little disturbing to watch all these years later.
04:12But that hilariously shocking turn of events was actually hinted at a little earlier in the 2002 live-action Scooby-Doo Madness.
04:20When the spooky island owner is spotted wondering what spooked the titular canine after a mid-film piano performance,
04:26Mondavarius does something that pretty much gives away the twist there and then.
04:30The way he scratches behind his ear here is pretty similar to the way a dog would do that very same thing.
04:37But when taking in the flick for the first time,
04:39you'd be forgiven for thinking Rowan Atkinson's character just had a nervous tick he couldn't control in the moment.
04:45And most weren't exactly quick to jump to the conclusion of the little egomaniac
04:49being the one behind the soul-stealing plot on the island.
04:52However, once you learn exactly which irritating pooch was sitting within this villainous bot all along,
04:57this initially missed puppy-powered hint sticks out like a Scooby snack in the middle of a bag of chips.
05:036. A Piece of Grandma Armitage Is There For All To See
05:07Get Out
05:08Long before the Armitage's sinister brain-swapping scheme is revealed,
05:13Chris is given a tour of his girlfriend Rose's family home by her father Dean in Get Out.
05:18And it's during this wander around the house that Chris has shown everything from family photos
05:23to souvenirs a gracious Dean has picked up on his travels.
05:26But it's the kitchen stop on the journey that brings with it a staggering reveal on a rewatch.
05:31Dean explains to his daughter's partner that his mother loved her kitchens,
05:36so they keep a piece of her in here.
05:38The camera then lingers rather uncomfortably as Georgina, one of the Armitage's housekeepers,
05:43greets Chris.
05:44It eventually becomes known that not only had the Armitage's been offering their creepy service
05:49to people outside of the family, but Rose's grandparents had also both undergone this
05:54procedure, and none other than Georgina was actually possessed by Rose's grandmother,
05:58Marianne.
05:59So when Dean was talking about keeping a piece of his mother in her beloved kitchen,
06:03fans initially didn't realize just how accurate this disturbing statement really was.
06:085. A Random Message From Sev Ohanian Reveals The Disturbing Twist Missing
06:13Following on from the success of their last screen life slice of thriller action known as Searching,
06:19Anish Chaganti and Sev Ohanian once again helped bring another Screen Stuff mystery to life this year
06:25by the name of Missing.
06:27And as with that prior entry, the gang simply could not resist dropping a blatant ending spoiler
06:32right in the middle of the action for all to see.
06:34But with so much information often being thrown at audiences whenever a social media or messaging app
06:39springs up on screen during these unique flicks,
06:42the average Joe or Jane regularly doesn't stand a chance of clocking one of these secret revelations
06:47on a first viewing.
06:49During searching, an email sent by Ohanian himself in David Kim's inbox
06:53suddenly reveals that his daughter was likely being catfished by the Fish and Chips character.
06:58And just like that turned out to be the case,
07:00Ohanian once again dropped an easily missed twist reveal in Missing,
07:05with his text message to June midway through the film explaining that her mom had been lying to her
07:10and her father was not dead at all.
07:12Sure enough, that disturbing detail turns out to be the truth later down the road,
07:16as it's explained that June's mom Grace had been trying to protect her daughter
07:20from the truth of her paps actually being an abusive piece of work.
07:24Simply put, if you see Ohanian's name pop up on screen,
07:27there's a good chance a monumental spoiler is heading your way.
07:31Number 4, Tess Was Warned By Some House Graffiti Barbarian
07:35After making it to the rental house she was staying at before her job interview the next day,
07:40Tess Marshall eventually ends up spending the night in the place with a stranger called Keith Toshko.
07:45Despite being a little concerned about the idea of entering the place,
07:49and sleeping in the same building as a man she's only just met,
07:52Tess just about gets through the night early on in Barbarian.
07:56When she finally sets out for her interview the following morning though,
07:59her bedroom door randomly opening in the middle of the night turns out to be the least of her troubles.
08:04The entire neighborhood around the home is completely battered and abandoned,
08:09and Tess is soon informed at her interview that this area of Brightmoor is not safe at all.
08:14It's eventually revealed that a deformed woman has been living beneath the house in a tunnel,
08:18with this mother being the result of a man known as Frank abducting,
08:22raping, and then keeping various women captive underground over the years.
08:26Said shocking reveal of the mother hiding below was actually hinted at all the way back
08:31when Tess first stepped outside of the home in the morning however.
08:35Though easily missed on a first time viewing,
08:37one of the buildings opposite clearly having the words
08:39death from below spray painted across it,
08:42stands out that little bit more on a rewatch.
08:45The lesson here, do your research before committing to your Airbnb folks.
08:49Number 3, Mother's Unmoving Body Reveals That Ending, Psycho.
08:54And while on the subject of mothers,
08:56one of the most famous and disturbing twists of all time
08:59is actually displayed for all to see earlier in the psycho drama.
09:03Not too long before discovering that Norman Bates killed his mother 10 years ago,
09:07and had been treating her corpse as if it were alive ever since,
09:11the disturbed man can be heard having an argument with her inside her bedroom.
09:15And after squabbling a while, Norman eventually carries his frustrated mother,
09:19who can be heard telling him to let go of her,
09:21down to the fruit cellar.
09:23Though it's evident here that said mother had been replaced with a mannequin for this shot.
09:27On a first watch, your mind simply assumes
09:29Alfred Hitchcock had Anthony Perkins carry a dummy down the stairs,
09:33as it would have likely been easier than trying to have him lug an actual human
09:37for a few takes.
09:38But when revisiting this particularly surreal beat,
09:41it soon becomes clear that this was anything but a botched attempt
09:45at disguising a life-size doll.
09:47It was actually a subtle way of telling the audience
09:49that this rather stiff-looking mother
09:51was indeed very much not alive at this point.
09:55Number 2, The Invisible Glass of Water Hints at Things Not Being As They Seem,
10:00Shutter Island.
10:01It's ultimately revealed that Shutter Island's central figure,
10:04Edward Teddy Daniels, is actually Andrew Laidus.
10:08With the US Marshal being imprisoned on the titular island
10:10for killing his mentally ill wife after she murdered their children,
10:14and creating said other persona out of guilt.
10:17And while this may come as quite the shock
10:18as you come to the end of your first watch of the 2010 masterpiece,
10:22the clues are definitely all there during a revisit.
10:25Perhaps the most blatant hint at things not being what they seem
10:28in Ashcliff Hospital for the Criminally Insane
10:30comes during Daniels and partner Chuck's interviews
10:33with various patients and nurses
10:35about the disappearance of Rachel Salando.
10:38With Chuck actually being Teddy's primary psychiatrist, Dr. Sheehan,
10:42the way one particular nurse glances at Chuck
10:44when discussing Sheehan with Daniels,
10:47and Chuck's awkward reaction in the moment,
10:49both stand out on a rewatch.
10:51Not long after that,
10:52guards are also visible behind Teddy
10:54and various inmates during their interview sessions,
10:57whilst no one appears to be stood over Chuck's shoulder.
11:00A coincidence?
11:01I think not.
11:02And the fact another patient proceeds to drink
11:04an invisible glass of water
11:06before she places an actual glass down in the next shot,
11:09also suddenly tells viewers that there's something off
11:12about this particular investigation early on.
11:151. A scream suggests something creepy is going on in the house,
11:19the girl with the dragon tattoo.
11:20During the 2011 big-screen adaptation of Stieg Larsson's
11:25The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo,
11:26there comes a moment when investigative journalist
11:29Mikael Blomqvist visits the home
11:31of the missing Harriet Vanger's brother, Martin,
11:34and is here when a sharp noise is briefly heard mid-dinner,
11:37with everyone acknowledging the odd sound
11:39before Martin references a window being left open.
11:42Martin then disappears
11:43as a few other whistling noises echo around the house,
11:46and is heard shutting something in the distance.
11:49Later on in the film, though,
11:50the source of said noises is finally
11:52and quite disturbingly revealed.
11:55On the back of learning that Martin and his father
11:57were behind a string of murders over the last few decades,
12:00Blomqvist is captured by the former
12:02and eventually wakes up inside of a basement.
12:04Here, Martin explains that the screams heard
12:06during the pair's dinner actually belonged to his next victim.
12:10He was locked in that very same basement at that exact moment.
12:13Just like that, a weird but not all that shocking sound
12:16is given a whole new meaning when choosing to re-watch
12:19David Fincher's disturbing thriller.
12:21And that's our list.
