The Visitwas a bit of a comeback for Shyamalan after a string of flops in the late 2000s.
It’s a decent suspenseful thriller with plenty of thrills.

Brahms never died in the fire and has been tormenting the nanny through the walls.
It is a pretty shocking twist, but itloses its luster after finally realizing it.
The group participates in a deadly game of “Would You Rather?”
for the amusement of a sadistic aristocrat (Jeffrey Combs).
It’sa gut-punching conclusion that feels unnecessarily cruel, considering how depressing the rest of the film is.
That best describes what happens inThe Forgotten, a 2004 sci-fi thriller starring Oscar-winnerJulianne Moore.

It follows her character, Telly Paretta, a grieving mother mourning the death of her son.
It’s a decent premise that’s utterlyruined by its twist finale.
Having it be aliens seems unoriginal and not really that interesting.
But things quickly turn deadly when they’re slaked by a relentless serial killer (Philippe Nahon).
This reveal comes out of nowhere and makes little to no sense.
