Relative clauses (Restrictive vs. nonrestrictive)

Welcome to WatchMojo, and today we're counting down our picks for the most sinister reveals that change everything about these films.

We'll be getting into some scary spoilers, so consider this your warning.

John was heading to the wolves all along.

The theme of Man vs. Nature is the focus of this movie, where a group of plane crash survivors must navigate the harsh territory they've landed in.

But we shouldn't be worrying about them right now.

The journey isn't for the faint of heart, as many in this ragtag crew are picked off by bloodthirsty wolves.

If you didn't think things could possibly get worse, just wait.

John Otway, the group's leader, shockingly discovers that he wasn't guiding the survivors away from danger.

He was actually leading them towards the wolves' main turf the whole time.

By the time he realizes this, he's the only man left standing.

It's a fatal error that means the chance of escape was always non-existent.

When the Colemans adopt a young girl named Esther, their failed attempt to expand their family takes a drastic turn.

Two girls get into a fight, there she is.

Someone gets caught stealing, there she is again.

It's established very quickly that something's not right with their new daughter, but nobody could have predicted the truth.

Then tell him the little girl in the picture is not really a little girl.

As it turns out, this sweet little girl is actually a psychopath named Lena, who's in her mid-30s.

Diagnosed with hypopituitarism, Lena used her condition to masquerade as a child.

The serial killer would then put the Colemans through hell.

The adoption process can be a nervous experience all on its own, but something as terrifying as this takes things to the next level.

When a grieving couple experiences strange events in Venice that suggest their daughter could still be alive, their trip abroad becomes a psychological minefield.

Maybe I should start taking my pills again.

The father, John Baxter, gets odd glimpses of a girl in a red jacket, who he begins to think might be her.

When he confronts her, John gets the shock of a lifetime.

The girl is actually a little person responsible for multiple murders earlier in the film, who then kills John.

It's certainly a bleak ending, but what makes it worse is that the visions he had were of his own death, meaning he unknowingly got a sneak peek into his demise.

Don't look now isn't just a catchy title, it's a warning for the protagonist.

Spelunking is already dangerous under normal circumstances, so when you add monsters called crawlers in the mix, you've got a recipe for disaster.

At the end of The Descent, Sarah has escaped from this hellhole and got to safety.

She then wakes up still in the cave, with the threat of more crawlers soon on their way.

It's a grim way for the movie to wrap up, and kills any hope for a happy resolution.

It's actually so dark that this ending was only released in the UK.

It was then replaced by a new one where she does get out.

There's a lot to unpack with this film, but the main takeaway is that Madison May has serious family issues.

The cause for the strange occurrences that happen is a man named Gabriel, who we learn is her twin.

He was a parasitic tumor that latched onto the back of her body.

Even though a surgery was done to separate them, Gabriel still lingered in her mind.

And after Madison was injured by her abusive husband, he was reawakened.

He's like an R-rated mashup between Voldemort from the first Harry Potter movie and Jonas

While the twist is admittedly convoluted, it's still ripe with horror.

Seriously, a secret twin brother that shared your body and wanted to kill you?

Growing up never looked as intense as it did in this indie coming of age story.

Why do I and everyone I love pick people who treat us like we're nothing?

Throughout the movie, it's clear that Charlie Kalmekis is dealing with depression.

The troubled high schooler and self-described wallflower goes through a series of lows that spiral until he's in the hospital.

While there, a psychiatrist starts a dialogue with Charlie about the buried memories he had of abuse he experienced as a child from his late Aunt Helen.

Understandably, this is a heavy moment as it forces him to relive his painful past.

You said some things about her in your sleep.

It also recontextualizes how he sees his aunt.

This twist is uncomfortable, but fortunately, Charlie learns to not let his trauma define him.

Once he's put into terms with it, he begins to forge his future.

And in this moment, I swear, we are infinite.

While trying to investigate a young girl's disappearance, Sergeant Howie's time on the island of Summer Isle has him confused to say the least.

Now, for the last time, where is Rowan Morrison?

Howie eventually finds the girl alive, but believes that the islanders want to kill her as a ritualistic sacrifice.

But the thing is, the girl isn't the sacrifice.
