Movies like these have enormous rewatch value for at least the second viewing. You have to reevaluate nearly every single scene from a new perspective. And even after that second viewing it still holds up. No, obviously it'll never hit the same way as the first time, but people rewatch all kinds of movies even though they know all the details. Just because this one ends with a mega twist doesn't mean it should be held to some higher standard than all those other movies we rewatch. If all it had going for it was the twist then yes. But it's so much more than that.

I don't understand that. And it's an opinion so I'm not saying you're wrong, just that I don't get it. Do you not enjoy rewatching movies in general? To me, a person who enjoys rewatching movies every few years, my enjoyment isn't affected by knowing the twist or the beats of the story. If this movie sucked all the way through and was only enjoyable for that one moment where the twist is revealed, then I'd understand. But this movie is an effective chilling "horror" or psychological thriller on its own.

I suppose it just depends on what you get out of a movie.If the twist in the end, is it.It would only be interesting for me If I was watching with someone who hadn't seen it.I have movies that I really like to watch multiple times.Pretty Woman,Red Planet,The Martian,Looking for Alibrandi,disaster movies in general,Bicentennial Man.Australian based movies in general Like Man from Snowy River,The Light Horsemen,also War Horse.The shape of Water and musicals like Oklahoma,My fair Lady,King and I .As with you it's usually the journey and not just the destination.
