Mind-Blowing Movie Plot Twists That Nobody Saw Coming

The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari

The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari is a 1920 German silent horror film that serves as a cornerstone of German Expressionist cinema. The film's epilogue reveals that the main narrative was Francis' delusion all along; the man Francis calls "Dr. Caligari" is the asylum director. In the end, Francis attacks him and is restrained in a straitjacket before being herded into the same cell where Caligari was confined in Francis' story. The director then announces that he can cure Francis, now that he understands the nature of his' delusion.
