Some examples: in horror movies, it&#8217;s when the main characters find out about the monster\/killer; in dramas, it might be when the person finds out they have cancer; in an action, it could be when they begin the heist and start robbing the bank.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, things could start happening before this point, but the tipping-point is when everything becomes clear to everyone. For example, in a horror movie, characters could be dying right from the start, but other characters continue on in ignorant bliss for some time; it&#8217;s when they learn of the threat that the movie has reached the tipping-point.<\/p>\n<p>Some movies have multiple tipping-points, and some don&#8217;t really have any at all. It&#8217;s surprisingly hard to define it, but many movies have a pretty clear one.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s a list of some movies&#8217; tipping-points.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sorttable\">\n<style>table.sortable tr:hover{color:black}<\/style>\n<style>\n\ttable.movietippingpoints {border-collapse:collapse;}\n\ttable.movietippingpoints td,table.movietippingpoints th,table.movietippingpoints tr,table.movietippingpoints\t{border:1px solid black;padding:5px;min-width:8em;}\n\ttable.movietippingpoints td,table.movietippingpoints td+td+td+td+td\t\t\t\t\t\t{text-align: left;}\n\ttable.movietippingpoints td+td,\ttable.movietippingpoints td+td+td,\ttable.movietippingpoints td+td+td+td\t{text-align: right;}\n<\/style>\n<table id=\"movietippingpoints\"  class=\"sortable table table-hover\" >\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Title<\/th>\n<th>Year<\/th>\n<th>T-Point<\/th>\n<th>Length<\/th>\n<th>Percent<\/th>\n<th>Description<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tr>\n<td>Wrong Turn 1<\/td>\n<td>2003<\/td>\n<td>0:31:32<\/td>\n<td>1:24:11<\/td>\n<td>37.46%<\/td>\n<td>They see dead Francine<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Wrong Turn 2<\/td>\n<td>2007<\/td>\n<td>0:52:17<\/td>\n<td>1:32:57<\/td>\n<td>56.25%<\/td>\n<td>They see Kimberly\u2019s tattoo<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Wrong Turn 3<\/td>\n<td>2009<\/td>\n<td>0:37:58<\/td>\n<td>1:32:02<\/td>\n<td>41.25%<\/td>\n<td>Three Toes ambushes them<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Wrong Turn 4<\/td>\n<td>2011<\/td>\n<td>0:48:08<\/td>\n<td>1:33:22<\/td>\n<td>51.55%<\/td>\n<td>They find Porter\u2019s head<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Wrong Turn 5<\/td>\n<td>2012<\/td>\n<td>0:46:11<\/td>\n<td>1:30:48<\/td>\n<td>50.86%<\/td>\n<td>They run over Gus<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Wrong Turn 6<\/td>\n<td>2014<\/td>\n<td>1:12:23<\/td>\n<td>1:30:30<\/td>\n<td>79.98%<\/td>\n<td>They see Bryan being cooked<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>The Fog<\/td>\n<td>1979<\/td>\n<td>1:01:58<\/td>\n<td>1:29:47<\/td>\n<td>69.02%<\/td>\n<td>Dan gets killed<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>The Fog<\/td>\n<td>2005<\/td>\n<td>1:09:18<\/td>\n<td>1:43:14<\/td>\n<td>67.13%<\/td>\n<td>Dan gets killed<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>The Mist<\/td>\n<td>2007<\/td>\n<td>0:13:04<\/td>\n<td>2:05:47<\/td>\n<td>10.39%<\/td>\n<td>Man getting in his car screams<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>The Possession<\/td>\n<td>2012<\/td>\n<td>1:11:39<\/td>\n<td>1:32:00<\/td>\n<td>77.88%<\/td>\n<td>They see face in MRI<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Hostel<\/td>\n<td>2005<\/td>\n<td>0:54:35<\/td>\n<td>1:34:02<\/td>\n<td>58.05%<\/td>\n<td>Paxton sees dead Josh disection<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Hostel II<\/td>\n<td>2007<\/td>\n<td>1:05:55<\/td>\n<td>1:34:40<\/td>\n<td>69.63%<\/td>\n<td>Beth sees the room of heads<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Hostel III<\/td>\n<td>2011<\/td>\n<td>0:53:38<\/td>\n<td>1:27:45<\/td>\n<td>61.12%<\/td>\n<td>Scott and others are kidnapped<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Vacancy<\/td>\n<td>2007<\/td>\n<td>0:34:40<\/td>\n<td>1:25:00<\/td>\n<td>40.78%<\/td>\n<td>Their room in the video &#038;
