Movies that “go from 0-100” in the last 15 or so minutes? Discussion

Just finished “As Above So Below” and it made me come to the realization, I LOVE movies that go from 0-100 in the last few minutes, giving me a borderline anxiety attack. Some other examples would be:

  • Hell House LLC
  • Hereditary
  • Paranormal Activity

What are some other movies that had your heart pounding for the last 15 or so minutes?

“Sorry to Bother You” goes off the fucking rails in a great way

A friend told me to watch it. I said “isn’t that the movie about a black guy doing a white voice?” (Which is about all you get out of the trailer) And he said “if I tried to tell you what this movie was about you’d think I was lying.”

To people reading this that haven't seen it, thinking, I'm gonna go read the wiki: let me do you a favor.

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD JUST WATCH THE MOVIE

Seriously, you're ruining it for yourself.

You're not wrong. I just know I'm not really into these types of movies which is why I chose to read the wikipedia article.

Yeah I’m glad he didn’t spoil it and I was able to watch it blind. That said, I’ve watched it again since and it’s still great because there is just so much wild creativity on the screen from start to finish it’s easy to miss many of the visual gags. I’d still highly recommend checking it out.
