The Visit - Review


The Visit. 

The Visit is a 2015 horror movie directed by the infamous M. Night Shyamalan. Honestly Shyamalan hasn't made a good movie in a long time so my expectations for this were pretty low. The film is about two children who go to visit their grandparents for a week and they turn out to be a little odd. It stars two kids I've never seen before and two old people and they all gave pretty good performances. 

The movie is a lot funnier than I expected, not unintentionally funny but actually funny. It's relatively scary, it's much more unsettling, from the moment they get to the house there's a feeling of unease that never really stops throughout the entire movie. In this unease is where the movie shines, you can tell something is up with the grandparents but you don't know what it is and it lets your mind imagine all of the possibilities. 

There's not much to really say about this movie without giving much away so I'm not gonna talk about it anymore. 

Rewatchability: 1/5, it was a good one-view movie, it had good things about it but I'm not rushing back to the theaters to see it or to get it on DVD. 

Rating: 3.5/5, a solid movie where the unsettling feeling lasts with you even after the credits roll and will leave you discussing the movie a while after. With that said it wasn't a great movie that id recommend to everyone but it was still enjoyable.
