I don't like to dwell on a movie's description or details before watching it so I'm looking for movies to go into blind.

I went with a list that has some great twists that work really well if you have no idea before going in.

Midsommar
The VVitch
Unbreakable
The Prestige
The Village
Sunshine

I think this is the first time I've seen someone recommend Sunshine

+1 for it. it's one of my favourite movies, and nobody seems to know about it.

Seconded. Crazy little publicity for a Cillian Murpy mobie.

Funnily enough, the twist in The Village didn't work on me - for some reason, the situation as it was is exactly what my mind had assumed was the case, so when it was revealed it didn't actually register as "the twist" and for the entirety of the movie, I kept expecting something else to be the twist. It wasn't until after the movie was over, and it was discussed with family, that I realized that the "discovery" wasn't what everyone else had automatically assumed to be the case by default, and so everyone else in attendance had been shocked by the information.

Smart money's on many of those people also being the sort to ask ridiculous like: "Who's that?", "What's going on?", "Why are they doing <insert recently described motive> right now/like that?", etc. during the fucking movie

...usually, just as the film answers them for you. 🤬🤷🏼‍♂️
