This isn't quite what you asked, but High Tension is a weird film where it's primarily memorable because of how awfully the twist RUINED the entire movie. It was a brilliant horror thriller for 96% of the film which would be widely remembered and discussed as a 'best of all time' horror, probably, but that twist is SO bad it totally overshadowed the good parts of the film, wrecked the plot, and the movie is mostly remembered for how much that twist butchered the movie.

Yepppp. I always told people to just turn the movie off when the cops get to the gas station.

The strange thing is that up until close to the twist, the movie is beat-for-beat a ripoff of a Dean Koontz novel called Intensity. They should have just optioned the novel and adapted it, and it would’ve been great.
