Chris S @Janomi 2 days ago The Visit has plenty to like because the creepy grandparent premise is simple and effective. Two kids visit grandparents they have never met, and the longer they stay, the more wrong everything feels. The movie turns something that should be warm and safe into something strange, embarrassing, funny, and terrifying. Olivia DeJonge and Ed Oxenbould are strong leads. Becca feels smart, guarded, and committed to turning the visit into a documentary, while Tyler brings nervous humor and awkward confidence. Their sibling dynamic gives the movie more personality than a standard found-footage horror setup. Deanna Dunagan and Peter McRobbie are deeply unsettling as Nana and Pop Pop because they keep shifting between sweet, confused, funny, and horrifying. The found-footage style can feel forced, and the twist is effective but simple, but The Visit has enough weirdness, tension, and dark comedy to stay entertaining.

The lead character is a boy around age 12 who "freestyle raps." None of it is believable. Probably the worst written script ever brought to screen. The co-lead is the boys sister who finds her brother’s rapping compelling enough that she records his impromptu performances on her camera, along with the rest of the action contained in the film, as part of a documentary, thus the premise of the film. If it isn’t abundantly clear by thus point in the review, this is one of the more contrived screenplays ever put into production. It only gets worse from there. There’s 90 minutes of this tortuous exercise in mediocrity. They go to their grandparents’ house and nothing happens. The end. Also this has me rethinking m night’s other Gino’s which I previously held in esteem, and also my personal judgment.

M. Night Shyamalan turns an ordinary family visit into a nightmare, making even the simplest moments feel suspicious. The performances are convincing, especially those of the grandparents, whose strange behavior creates an atmosphere of constant unease. The found-footage style adds intimacy and makes the tension feel surprisingly real. I also loved how the humor gives you a moment to breathe before the film pulls you back into its creepy world. The twist is shocking and makes the earlier scenes even more disturbing in hindsight. For me, *The Visit* delivers everything a great horror movie should: memorable characters, growing tension, and an ending that stays with you. Absolutely worth watching - five stars!

Some good humor mixed in and just enough suspense and weirdness to keep things moving along. The ending/explanation keeps this from being 5/5 See more Read all reviews
