THERE’S NOTHING LIKE a good sting in the tale.

Twists are the best.  They keep you guessing, hit you in the gut and there’s nothing better than walking out of the cinema shaking your head, replaying the whole movie in a different light.

If you want the mystery of unknown films preserved, then LOOK AWAY NOW. Or forever hold your peace.
