5 best Prime Video movies with a surprising twist
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. There's nothing quite like the thrill of a movie that keeps you guessing with a killer twist, and with Prime Video packed full of solid picks, you're spoiled for choice. These movies don't just surprise you, they flip the whole story on its head, even if you think you've got it all figured out. If you want a Prime Video movie that'll leave you reeling, you're in the right spot. Below are my top picks for movies with twists so good, you won't see them coming. And don't worry, no spoilers here. Just pure, unfiltered suspense you can stream right now. 'All the Old Knives' (2022) 'All the Old Knives' is a slow-burn spy thriller that's as much about personal drama as it is about espionage. Chris Pine and Thandiwe Newton play two agents whose past comes back to haunt them in unexpected ways. Set years after a failed terrorist attack, Henry (Pine) is called back for a debriefing with his ex-lover and former colleague Celia (Newton). As they revisit the events that led to the disaster, old wounds resurface, loyalties are questioned, and secrets threaten to undo them both. Stream it on Prime Video 'Black Box' (2021) I'm someone who loves sharing a great movie find with friends and family, as there's something really satisfying about recommending hidden flicks that didn't get much recognition upon release. But after watching 'Black Box,' I just sat quietly, my mind spinning as I tried to process everything I'd just seen. This psychological nightmare follows Nolan (Mamoudou Athie), who loses his wife and suffers severe amnesia after a car accident. He undergoes an experimental treatment using a device called the 'Black Box' to recover memories, but begins experiencing disturbing visions, blurring the line between reality and hallucination as he questions his identity. Stream it on Prime Video 'Totally Killer' (2023) A time travel slasher might sound like an odd combination, but 'Totally Killer' proves it can work. This lively horror-comedy perfectly blends '80s vibes with a fresh, fun twist on the slasher genre. It follows seventeen-year-old Jamie (Kiernan Shipka), who accidentally time-travels back to 1987 after her mother is murdered by the notorious "Sweet Sixteen Killer." Stranded in the past, Jamie poses as a Canadian exchange student and teams up with her teen mom (Olivia Holt) to stop the original killings before history is changed forever. Packed with humor, scares, and heart, the movie is the perfect pick for anyone who loves a good scare mixed with plenty of laughs. Stream it on Prime Video 'Nanny' (2022) 'Nanny' is a haunting psychological thriller that mixes real emotion with some seriously creepy moments. It follows Aisha (Anna Diop), a Senegalese immigrant working as a nanny for a wealthy family in New York while trying to save up to bring her son over. As she deals with feeling isolated and facing microaggressions, strange visions start creeping into her life, blurring what's real and what's not. The movie takes its time, really pulling you into Aisha's world and the fears she's battling. With powerful performances and a touching look at motherhood and identity, 'Nanny' is both haunting and heartfelt, making it a movie that sticks with you long after it's over. Stream it on Prime Video 'Synchronic' (2020) I started watching 'Synchronic' without many expectations, but the visuals quickly stole the show for me. This movie doesn't just twist your mind, but it looks absolutely stunning while doing it, all thanks to Aaron Moorhead's talent for crafting striking, unforgettable imagery. Steve (Anthony Mackie) and Dennis (Jamie Dornan) respond to a series of bizarre accidents linked to a new designer drug called Synchronic. As Steve investigates further, he discovers that the drug warps the pineal gland's perception of time, sending users backward through history. With his own health declining, Steve experiments with Synchronic to find his friend's missing daughter.

'Sleep nanny' offers 14 top tips how to keep babies cool in heatwave
'Sleep nanny' offers 14 top tips how to keep babies cool in heatwave Newborns are at risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) if they overheat An expert has offered tips on how to keep babies and young children cool and comfortable during the heatwave (Image: PA ) The sunny weather can create an uncomfortable sleeping environment for babies and children. When the mercury rises it can be a real worry for parents concerned about their children's health and sleep. It is especially important to keep babies cool in the sweltering heat and The Sleep Nanny, Lucy Shrimpton has issued some tips on doing just that. Your baby is likely to become restless if feeling too hot or too cold so he may let you know. He may be more difficult to settle to sleep than usual or wake more frequently due to the discomfort of the temperature. Newborns are at risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) if they overheat so check your newborn does not have a moist head or neck which are signs of sweating. If the face is redder than usual or he has a rash or you notice rapid breathing, these could be signs of overheating. Ms Shrimpton offered the following top tips on keeping your baby or young child cool and comfortable. 1. Dress your baby appropriately for the room temperature If the room is very hot, for example over 25°C for most of the night, just a nappy and thin cotton vest may suffice. If the room is between 20-23°C degrees a shortie baby grow or shorts and t-shirt pyjamas perhaps with socks or just a nappy and a 1 tog sleep sack. Article continues below If your baby is too young for any kind of bedding and it is too hot for a sleep sack, simply dress them in suitable clothing for the room temperature so that no covering is required. 2. Create a breeze During the day, open all windows on the same floor to create a blow-through and pull curtain two thirds of the way across to block out hot sun but still allow the breeze through. 3. Ventilate your home Open your loft hatch if you have one to allow heat to escape up through the roof. 4. Use appropriate bedding Use only cotton bed sheets and avoid any waterproof mattress covering as this will hold heat and make your baby sweat. 5. Give them a quick, refreshing bath A luke-warm bath or slightly cooler bath than usual might help to refresh your baby before bedtime and relieve any clamminess. Make it a quick bath so that she doesn't get too chilly. 6. Get a room thermometer ...so that you know what temperature you are dealing with. This will take away the guesswork and give you peace of mind that you have dressed your baby suitably. 7. Put ice in baby's room Large bottles of frozen water (1litre plus), placed in the baby's room may help to cool the air as they melt overnight. 8. Give electric fans a helping hand Electric fans will often just blow the warm air around but place a large bowl of ice or some frozen water bottles in front of the fan to cool the air that circulates the room. 9. Keep baby calm A calm baby will remain cooler than a frustrated baby so try to maintain a calming bedtime routine and offer reassurance and comfort if he is agitated. A cool flannel or cold compress dabbed gentle on your baby may help to cool and calm him. 10. Keep some water refrigerated Your baby may need to drink more than usual. Cold water is great so for young babies it is worth cooling some billed water and refrigerating it for night time use. Breastfed babies will stay hydrated on breastmilk. 11. Consider moving rooms If you cannot keep your baby cool in her own room, consider moving her to a cooler room in the house temporarily. 12. Set them up for the whole night - not just evening Remember, no matter how hot it is at bedtime, the temperature will drop in the night so don't put your baby in his cot in just a nappy if it will drop below 25 degrees in the night. You might like to check on him before you go to bed to see how the temperature is. 13. Accurately check baby's temperature Hands and feet do get colder than the rest of the body so it is natural for these to feel a little colder to the touch. If you are unsure about your baby's temperature, feel the back of his neck or use a thermometer. 14. Put yourself in their shoes Babies will be comfortable dressed for temperatures as you would dress yourself. So ask yourself how hot it feels and what you would be comfortable in when you are considering how to dress you baby. Article continues below Just remember, you can pull the covers over you but she cannot, so imagine you are going to bed without any bed covers.

Jessie J admits she may 'seem down' when fans meet her as she's still 'out of it' following her mastectomy as she shares candid update amid breast cancer diagnosis
Jessie J has shared she may 'seem down' when fans meet her as she's still 'out of it' while recovering from her mastectomy. The singer, 37, underwent surgery 12 days ago after being diagnosed with breast cancer, but said in an update last week that the cancer at present had unfortunately not 'all gone'. Taking to Instagram Stories to share a lengthy update, Jessie that she's still 'a little uncomfortable' following her surgery, but has stopped taking her pain medication as it's 'not her thing.' The Price Tag hitmaker revealed last month she'd been diagnosed with breast cancer, and while she reassured fans it's been 'caught early,' she shared her plans to take a break from performing while she recovers. In her post, Jessie wrote: 'For those asking for a health update. l am 11 days post surgery. I'm good. 'Missing being an active Mum / human the most. But it's been nice to slow down and Sky is having a blast with Nanny and Grandad. 'It's still uncomfortable / a little painful but l can handle that. I'm doing my exercises and taking all the healthy things. I have been trying to eat super clean.' She continued: 'I have stopped all pain meds. Just not my thing. Also like to feel how it feels so I don't overdo it. 'I have now done a [poo emoji]. Still have my drain. Anyone else who has had this, did you feel like you are walking around one of those dog / duck toys 'I carry mine on the floor when l'm home so the gravity can help the drain. Hoping it's out by the end of the week. I am feeling positive and grateful.' In another update, Jessie told her fans that may seem 'a little out of it' when fans see her out and about, admitting her road to recover is a 'slow road.' She added: 'If you do see me out, sitting in a park or coming out of a doctors appointment or eating or walking or anything, and I am seem a little out of it. I am. 'It's not personal. I don't have what l usually have to give energy wise, understandably. 'I will get there. It's a slow road. For now l am taking it easy. Enjoying the slow vibes and staying positive.' Jessie previously confirmed that she is not cancer free, a day after posting her hopes to be rid of the disease. The singer said on Friday that her previous post had been 'misunderstood' and while she was 'praying' for good news, the cancer at present had unfortunately not 'all gone'. Jessie went on to say that she was awaiting test results and would be taking a week's break from social media in order to 'focus on her recovery '. Speaking about the misunderstanding she wrote: 'I posted a list of pros and cons of having breast cancer surgery. The first pro I put was... the cancer has all gone'. 'This was a positive affirmation NOT a fact. I don't have my results yet. I added the [fingers crossed emoji] in thinking people would understand and clearly a lot didn't. She went on: 'A weird situation. My fault for not being clearer. But for now I do not have my results after surgery which was only 6 nights ago. I pray it will be true soon but the journey of cancer isn't that simple unfortunately'. Later Jessie said: 'Tapping off socials for a week. Healthy and needed reset. To focus on my recovery and saying stuff that gets twisted of misread'. 'My head and boob hurts. Lol, Bye. Always loveeeee'. The mix up came after she shared a health update on Instagram on Thursday which read: 'Pros: Cancer has all gone.' She added that her mastectomy and breast reconstruction surgery had gone well as she quipped: 'My nipple is where it used to be.' Continuing her list of pros, Jessie wrote: 'I can watch Love Island with no guilt. I am getting to rest and talk to friends more than ever.' She added that her partner Chanan Safir Colman and their son Sky have been providing support as well as her mother. 'My mum lives with us. Sky just being Sky. Chanan making me feel safe and the messages are 10/10.' 'Connecting with other people who are going through a similar time and being able to support each other.' Later Jessie confirmed that while she had written the 'cancer is gone' she included a fingers crossed emoji as 'it's a hope not a fact'. She added: 'I only had my surgery 4 days ago. I was just saying the pros of surgery and this situation and being positive. 'But I will get my results soon. And hopefully I can post that as a fact. But for now I don't know. But I will stay positive and talk what I want into the universe'.

Jessie J gives health update after breast cancer surgery and reveals why she's stopped taking pain medication
JESSIE J has given fans a health update after her breast cancer surgery, revealing why she's stopped taking pain medication. Singer Jessie, 37, took to her Instagram Story today, sharing how she's feeling 11 days after the operation. 7 She wrote: 'For those asking for a health update. I am 11 days post surgery. I'm good. Missing being an active Mum / human the most. "But it's been nice to slow down and Sky is having a blast with Nanny and Grandad.' She admitted the process hasn't been pain-free, adding, 'It's still uncomfortable / a little painful but I can handle that. I'm doing my exercises and taking all the healthy things. I have been trying to eat super clean. In a surprising move, the Price Tag hitmaker revealed she's stopped taking all painkillers. Jessie - who became a mum last year to son Sky with basketball player Chanan Colman - continued: 'I have stopped all pain meds. Just not my thing. Also like to feel how it feels so I don't overdo it. I have now done a [poo emoji]." "Still have my drain. Anyone else who has had this, did you feel like you are walking around one of those dog / duck toys?' 'I carry mine on the floor when I'm home so the gravity can help the drain. Hoping it's out by the end of the week. Despite the obvious challenges of recovery, Jessie said she's trying to stay in a grateful mindset, saying: 'I am feeling positive and grateful.' She also had a message for anyone who might bump into her out and about. Jessie said: 'If you do see me out, sitting in a park or coming out of a doctor's appointment or eating or walking or anything, and I seem a little out of it. I am. It's not personal. 'I don't have what I usually have to give energy wise, understandably. I will get there. It's a slow road. For now I am taking it easy. Enjoying the slow vibes and staying positive. Lots of love.' Last week, Jessie revealed she doesn't yet know if she's cancer free after her mastectomy. The musician had the operation earlier this week in a bid to beat her breast cancer, and some fans misinterpreted a post that stated: "Cancer has all gone." Jessie said her words had been "misunderstood" and that her statement was a "positive affirmation". She wrote: "I posted a list of pros and cons of having breast cancer surgery. The first pro I put was... the cancer has all gone'. 7 "This was a positive affirmation NOT a fact. I don't have my results yet. I added the [fingers crossed emoji] in thinking people would understand and clearly a lot didn't. "A weird situation," she continued. "My fault for not being clearer. But for now I do not have my results after surgery which was only 6 nights ago. I pray it will be true soon but the journey of cancer isn't that simple unfortunately." Jessie is now taking a break from social media as she continues her recovery. "Tapping off socials for a week," she said. "Healthy and needed reset. To focus on my recovery and saying stuff that gets twisted of misread. "My head and boob hurts. Lol, Bye. Always loveeeee." After her operation, Jessie admitted she was struggling not being able to pick up her two-year-old son, Sky. She then outlined the 'pros' of the procedure, writing: "Cancer is all gone. "My nipple is where it used to be, I can watch Love Island with no guilt. "I am getting to rest and talk to friends more than ever. "My mum lives with us. Sky just being Sky. Chanan making me feel safe and the messages are 10/10. "Connecting with other people who are going through a similar time and being able to support each other." The list was then followed by a "cons" equivalent. "Not being the mum I'm used to being and picking Sky up," she typed. "The fear of not knowing if the cancer is all gone - the mental with this is... "The pain and discomfort is ok and expected but a d******d when I'm trying to sleep." Jessie explained how the only painkillers she was allowed to take were paracetamol and ibuprofen due to having low blood pressure. She did try and clear up her post at the time, warning she hadn't meant for the statement to be read as "fact" and that she is still awaiting her results. The BRIT winner added: "I'm getting a lot of messages. Saying so happy all the cancer has gone. To be clear I added the [fingers crossed] emoji as it's a hope not a fact. "I only had my surgery 4 days ago. I was just saying the pros of surgery and this situation and being positive. But I will get my results soon. "And hopefully I can post that as a fact. But for now I don't know. But I will stay positive and talk what l want into the universe." Earlier this month, Jessie revealed she had been diagnosed with breast cancer. Incredibly, she went ahead and performed at this year's Capital Summertime Ball in London on June 15. Jessie held back tears as she told the crowd at Wembley Stadium that she was taking a break to "beat breast cancer". 7 7 7
