The name Shymalan is not one that garners the best buzz in the movie world these days. While it is true that M.Night Shymalan has made some hit over the years, the director has fallen from his mantle due to one disastrous film after another. Yet even with a bad track record, M.Night continues to bring new films to the silver screen. Shymalan's latest film takes the director back to the realm of horror with the found footage thriller:
The Visit. Like Shymalan's previous film,
The Visit shrouded itself in mystery as the trailer would give viewers an eerie scenario of children visiting their grandparents. However could
The Visit get Shymalan out of this rut or is this suspenseful fall film just a trip that no one wants to remember?
The Visit centers on Rebecca and Tyler (Olivia DeJonge and Ed Oxenbould) who are making a documentary for their mother (Kathryn Hahn). The two siblings decide to visit their grandparents (Peter McRobbie and Deanna Dunagan) and record the events to give their mother some peace and closure with her parents. However as soon as the trip begin, Rebecca and Tyler begin to notice strange things dealing with their grandparents. From the grandmother's wild spasms in the night to the grandfather hiding things in the shed, the two siblings become very suspicious. What comes after next is tragedy that Rebecca and Tyler will not soon forget.
