Make sure it’s not too general, please!


I love seeing movies where an apartment/house previously seen as inhabited turns out to look completely different without the implication of someone freshly moving out or be completely abadonned for too long to had looked like this at the time of previous insepction.


Movie I know of where it has happened

They Cloned Tyrone had this happen and I loved it so much.


I think I remember seeing this trope at least twice in some horror movies, but I don’t remember their titles. It always gets my attention.

    Closed loop time travel. Where the results of someone travelling back in time are already there for us to see, even before we get to the point where they jump back.

      This was something I really enjoyed about the series Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency. It’s so batshit confusing to begin with but is actually well thought out. As the series continued it all came together and you could see the threads woven throughout. It was still a pretty eccentric series but it was certainly interesting.
