Becca and younger brother Tyler say goodbye to their mother as they board a train and head deep into Pennsylvania farm country to meet their maternal grandparents for the first time.

Here, [Shyamalan] loosened up, shed some of his ego, and reminded all of us what a gifted writer and director he truly is.

A tepid horror yarn that might as well have been called Old People Are Scary!

While Shyamalan doesn’t reinvent the wheel with “The Visit”, he does show the creative flourishes that made him a respected name and overnight success in the horror-thriller genre.

An honestly underrated horror film, with really good performances and a great idea. A combination of some genuinely scary scenes, great cinematography, and a fun puzzle to solve. This twisty-turny film shows M. Night, he's still got it when it comes to twist endings.

Cool story with great twist the way it’s shot is also good. Ending, while a little lackluster to me was still fine.

Has feel of sinister running thru it. Moments work others not. Twist as usual in his films .make it different. Hand held camera becomes waring. spent most of time working out,could you actually film like this.
