If someone asked me what horror sub-genre the next Wan flick would be I would have never guessed Giallo. That is surprising.

Yeah never in a million years. But this may be the closest we get to him doing a “slasher”
Yes!!!!!The Strange Colour of Your Body's Tears?
Is it any good?
So I’m listening to that screen drafts podcast again and it’s an episode about twist endings. One of the guests nominated night of the living dead. Two of the people on the show disagreed while one other agreed with him.
I don’t see that shyt. Yes the ending is a shocker and a surprise but it’s not a twist. Maybe if you’re white it’s a twist lol but it plays more on twisting audiences convention rather than the narrative of the movie. As an audience we expect certain things. We expect the hero to live. It’s not a “twist” when they don’t. It’s a shock

The only recent Giallo flick I can think of with "color" in the title is All the Colors of Giallo but that was a documentary.

The Strange Colour of Your Body's Tears?

I wouldn't know. I only know of the film because the directors also made the psychedelic sixties-throwback spaghetti western Let The Corpses Tan. Strong visuals, that's for sure, but if it makes for a good movie, that's another...
Yeah that isn't a twist ending.
The ending of the first SAW was a twist. The truth about the grandparents in The Visit is a twist ending.
fukk it, April Fool's Day had a twist ending.
There was a period of time when that became common practice - the "shock" or "twist" endings. I would actually go into a movie assuming the main character or characters weren't going to survive or the experience would end bad. Like whatever the horror movie trope or cliche was - they go so far left with it to the most unexpected outcome or it's an unexpected reveal of a villian or victim. (I'll be back to expand on this).
Yeah I don't see it. His argument was, because the hero died, its a twist. And yeah that just doesn't track for me. A twist ending, a good one anyway, fundamentally changes everything you saw before it happened. The ending of Night of the Living Dead doesn't change shyt
the movie before Duane Jones gets killed doesn't look different because he was shot. It doesn't put anything prior in a new context
