Re: movies that shift genre
Funnily, I knew about this movie, and what its broad "real" theme was before I saw it, but when I did first see it, it was because I was randomly changing channels, and the film had started by a couple of minutes, and I just thought "cool, a George Clooney crime film, guess that'll do", and didn't realise what film it actually was. It was only at the turn point did I realise what film it was that I must be watching!

Re: movies that shift genre
Cloud Atlas does this really well imo. It's not really a spoiler but I'll explain
SpoilerThe story follows different people in different times of human history. Each person's arc is told using wildly different genres

Re: movies that shift genre
For my first post i would like to mention Howard The Duck movie. It starts with an alien who resembles a humanoid human duck getting teleport harpooned to earth. Fish out of water comedy. In the second act a diffrent alien gets zapped to earth. And this one is straight out of nightmares, he inhibits a human and starts mutating, eventually regaining his own horrible form. And he plans to zap his bretherens out of space(yeah, they dont inhibit a planet, they are from outer space) to really cut loose on earth. That alien, called the Dark Overlord really scared me as a kid, i remember it was awesome thou.

Re: movies that shift genre
TV Tropes has a page for this; might be worth checking out. EDIT: Although it does not appear to be well-spoilered.
For an example I heartily recommend:
Spoiler: Knives OutStarts as a classic murder mystery. But then, it's revealed who did it, how they did it... and that they're a highly sympathetic character. We then spend most of the rest of the movie rooting for them as the detective works to unravel the case... and then it switches again, as it's revealed that what we knew wasn't the whole story, and there's a murder mystery here after all!Last edited by PoeticallyPsyco; 2021-04-03 at 06:45 PM.
