    They showed it in the trailer. The first tip off is Leo's character not handing over a gun in one of the first scenes.

    Oh I couldn't recall one of the trailers if I tried. Great film though.

    Man, Dead End is so f---ing underrated it makes me sick. One of the most unsettling films I've ever seen. Saw, as much s--- as the series as a whole gets (and deservedly so), the original and its ending are still great. I had no idea there was a twist ending before seeing it and I did not see it coming from a mile away. As soon as "Hello Zepp" plays I still get the chills every time.

    Everyone else already mentioned all the best ones. Psycho, Vertigo, Shutter Island, The Sixth Sense, Fight Club, all great as well. Big Hitchcock fan here btw.

    I watched 'Hard Candy' last week. It doesn't really have a twist in the end but it happens earlier. It doesn't compare to most movies mentioned but the twist (although not really kept a secret for long) is pretty good imo
