Nope, to be able to have success with that late turn you need to leave what happened before this new ‘family’ moved into the house as implication and backstory, but instead you’ve shown it.
Film description and opening scenes are a deception that could have been handled better.
Then you added a double cross?! Eugh, just no, meddled too much and it’s just an incoherent mess to me.
those absolutely hysterical twists at the end could've saved the movie if there was any decent acting in it aside from eric roberts going "that was rude" in one scene.

Please God, strike this movie down. Even by horror standards, 616 Wilford Lane is impressively bad. Like something a toddler would make in a kitchen, the movie is a tasteless mixture of whichever cliches seemed to suite the writers at any given moment. Young-adult, horror, Hallmark holiday specials - we've got it all here and it goes together just as well as you'd expect. Then, like a wad of hand-lotion in your child's ketchup and dried bean chocolate soup, we get this masterclass-of-failure ending. The family is a group of con-artists who want to scam a real estate agency out of millions by faking a haunting at a murder house. Then, Staci kills Randy and Jim before getting away in a car. Yeah... This is not the right way to do plot twists. There's no way to figure their identities out from the story, we just get a sudden revelation at the end. This both robs the characters of any development because we never really know them, but also means the movie has been a colossal waste of time. If you want a bad movie for the night, there are a ton of better options. Rent anything other than this over-produced skid mark.
