| I saw the english-dub. Unfortunately, I just can't get into sub-titled films. I guess High Tension wouldn't be bad to watch that way, as there is little dialogue, anyway. The "Dumbass Test" is a really good way to gauge a good twist ending. I felt like a dumbass for not figuring out The Sixth Sense. Not so much with The Usual Suspects, though, as that was also a case of the filmmaker showing you falsehoods, ie, what you saw was the lie Verbal was telling. > > > > My question is this: Does an ending count as a "twist" > > when the film-maker has shown you a falsehood the entire > > time? > > Answer: No. > > The movie claimed to have a surprising ending.
