10 Horror Movie Plot Twists EVERYONE Guessed

10. The Visit - They're Not The Real Grandparents

M Night Shyamalan, with the exception of his disastrous forays into big-budget blockbuster filmmaking (After Earth and, worse still, The Last Airbender), always includes a plot twist in his movies, and if he doesn't then that in itself is a twist. However, in the case of The Visit, people all over the internet called the twist as soon as they saw the trailer. 

This found-footage horror flick sees two Philadelphia youngsters, Becca (Olivia DeJonge) and Tyler (Ed Oxenbould), going to stay with their grandparents for several days while their mother navigates a divorce. Once they arrive, the two children (who've never met their grandparents before, as their mother was estranged from them) find that their grandparents are behaving extremely strangely, and this only gets worse and worse until the two teens find themselves in mortal danger. 

And why are the grandparents behaving in such a terrifying manner? Because, as plenty of commentators clocked immediately, they aren't the real grandparents. They were dangerous patients from the psychiatric hospital where the grandparents worked; Olivia and Tyler later find the corpses of their real grandparents in the basement. 

So yes, this twist was predictable but The Visit did subvert expectations in another way: it was actually pretty good, a major return-to-form for M Night Shyamalan. Furthermore, a simple and foreseeable twist was certainly preferable to some of the shark-jumping stuff Shyamalan had indulged in with things like Signs and The Village.
