Yes I've already seen a few movies with this exact same plot, but i didn't see it coming.
Maybe this is because I watched it without knowing it was supposed to be an horror movie, or a psychological thriller. So I wasn't searching for a big plot twist.
I was just very intrigued by the mother, and wondering what Lukas did to piss her off so much. I suspected Lukas was somehow responsible for an accident that cause her to get heavy cosmetic surgery.
So the third act was really a big reveal and everything made sense.
I like it a lot. -

The Mother got the surgery because she wanted to, not because she had an accident or anything of the sort.
She went through a divorce, then the death of a son, so she wanted a "fresh" start.
Fine, fine, I'll leave! But first I'm going to bother these peanuts! Hmm? Yes? Hmm? HMM? -

It made sense when I realized her son was basically becoming like serial killer. He fit the profile. He was a loner, he tortured insects and killed a cat, his dead twin was his imaginary friend, his only parent ignored him or was abusive. He was mean to his mother before during and after her necessary facial reconstruction surgery.
