The Twist: We've not had an M. Night Shyamalan twist in years - The Last Airbender and After Earth ended with the rug firmly in place (or were so boring nobody noticed) - so while The Visit sees him go low-budget and try out found-footage, it is something of a return to his old ways; at the end, it turns out the old people the central kids have been staying with aren't their grandparents as they thought, but a pair of escaped mental patients from the hospital their relatives worked at. Why It's So Dumb: The problem really is in its predictability. Shyamalan expectations aside, its first-fifteen-minutes predictable; not only is it the only really logical reveal based on the set-up ("Oh no, I broke your webcam"), it's the exact ending this story would have if it was being told around a campfire by a ten-year-old. Bizarrely, however, it doesn't hurt the film as much as you'd expect. The Visit has a silly, almost comedic tone underpinning much of its horror, so something predictable and childish actually fits. In fact, the real twist of the film was that it was nowhere near as bad as the past ten years of Shyamalan, a return to form of sorts. Sadly his inept dialogue, misuse of found footage and bizarre obsession with rapping ensures that this was clearly accidental.
