15 Films That Change Tone Midway Through<\/p>\n
1.<\/p>\n
“The first thing I thought of was From Dusk Till Dawn.”<\/p>\n
2.<\/p>\n
“I came here to suggest Sinners, which is a homage to From Dusk Till Dawn.”<\/p>\n
5.<\/p>\n
“Sorry to Bother You has the most sudden and extreme tonal shift I’ve ever seen in a movie.”<\/p>\n
7.<\/p>\n
“Mulan. Once they stumble over the village the singing stops for the rest of the movie. Even if the cross-dressing scheme is funny, the guys still spend the third act of the movie acting like honourable warriors instead of goofballs.”<\/p>\n
8.<\/p>\n
“The Abyss. It starts out like a normal ’90s disaster flick (underwater facility is in danger, panic ensues) and turns out to be something so much better.”<\/p>\n
9.<\/p>\n
“Hard Candy took a left turn for me. I loved how when shit changed to serious, the colour tone shifts to blueish.”<\/p>\n
10.<\/p>\n
“District 9. It goes from weird alien apartheid documentary to crazy action movie with wild alien weaponry. It’s so well done that I don’t think people notice the shift.”<\/p>\n
11.<\/p>\n
“Psycho. This is one of those movies I wish I could have completely erased from my mind and go in watching completely blind.”<\/p>\n
12.<\/p>\n
“Click. This one is definitely one of the most surprising of all time. Goes from a standard and amusing Sandler fart-comedy movie (and that’s all it was ever marketed as), to a heavy emotional drama.”<\/p>\n
13.<\/p>\n
“The Frighteners. Starts off as a fairly goofy supernatural comedy and then gets dark.”<\/p>\n
14.<\/p>\n
“One Cut of the Dead. I feel so lucky to have seen it in a theatre with people. We were like, ‘oh that was neat,’ and then the shift happened and we were like, ‘wait what…,’ and then it clicked into place and we were like ‘omg!!'”<\/p>\n
15.<\/p>\n
“Audition. I still remember the jump scare when the person in the bag moves and you suddenly realise something is very, very wrong.”<\/p>\n
