Mystery Movie “Spoilers”

1. Murder on the Orient Express :

2. The Maltese Falcon :

3. The Usual Suspects:

4. The Third Man:

5. And Then There Were None:

6. Shutter Island:

7. Clue:

8. Identity:

9. Jacob’s Ladder

10. The Others

The mother and her children and the three servants are all dead and the “ghosts” are actually the living people in the house.

Apparently

the main character’s dead

is a super common twist. Dates back at least as far as Ambrose Bierce; I wonder if it’s older.

The bars have jawas, but the droids ain’t free  
You’ll find a smuggler in every dark Cantina  
A wretched hive of scum and villany,  
I can feel Darth Vader walking next to me…”_
