The 10 Best Movie Twist Endings of the Decade

Twist Endings Movies8. The Village (2004)

The set-up: An insular Pennsylvania village in 1897 is stalked by a species of monster with whom they've had a long-standing truce.

The twist: The village was actually founded in the 1970s by a community seeking to eschew society and modernity. (The estate paid off rangers to keep humans at bay at the sky above it a "no-fly zone.") The monsters are merely the elders' way of scaring the children into not venturing out past the village limits.

Twist Endings Movies7. Gone Baby Gone (2007)

The set-up: A young, neglected girl goes missing in a Boston working class area. A private investigator couple (Casey Affleck, Michelle Monaghan) are hired by the child's aunt to figure out what happened to her.

The twist: The kidnapping was faked by the child's mother's boyfriend. Police Capt. Jack Doyle (Morgan Freeman) is actually raising the child, who is alive and well, with his wife. They wanted a child, and figured this was a happy alternative to the girl living with her drug-addict mother.
