Watching a mystery movie is a whole different experience. They’re often more interactive as the audience tries to solve the mystery problem presented to them in the movie. Often provided with the same clues as the characters, the audience has to try to piece the evidences together throughout the film and hope they got it right towards the end. The whole movie builds up all the way to the grand reveal, and the audience is kept on the edge of their seats!
And if you think that mystery movies are no longer fun once you know the story, you’re wrong! Once you know the ending, watching the movie becomes more enjoyable as you search for glimpses of the evidences that are hidden throughout the movie. Certain actions that the culprit does become obvious, and you notice the hidden clues in the background.
