a twist is a mechanical cheap shock, a revelation is an organic character-driven moment.
I think of a twist as something that reframes the narrative; a revelation is just information that comes to light. [edit] It can be quite important information, which alters our understanding of the characters, but if it doesn't affect the narrative itself, I don't count it as a twist.
