18. The Number 23

The Number 23 may have confused critics with its bizarre plot and overly dramatic twists, but audiences were still intrigued by its mind-bending mystery. Despite its mixed reception, the film grossed $77 million against a budget of $35 million, likely thanks to Jim Carrey’s unexpected dive into psychological thrillers. Critics thought it lacked depth, but its appeal to fans of quirky thrillers couldn’t be ignored. Directed by Joel Schumacher in 2007, it kept viewers guessing, even if they weren’t always sure why.
