Movies with a sharp turn that derails the expected direction, shifts the tone or genre, or escalates disproportionately to the rest of the movie.
Frequently used in a sentence like…
“Yeah, it was good, but then it took this sharp turn and went this other direction and, idk, just kinda lost me…”
or
“Yeah, it was good, but then it just kinda got crazy at the end and idk…”
Aka...
My favorite kinds of movies.
*NOT referring to movies with a Shyamalan-type BIG TWIST reveal (though might be present).
