The Visit is directed by M.Night Shymalan, a director who has been to both ends of the spectrum, from great classics like 'The Sixth Sense' and 'Unbreakable' to utter disasters like 'The Last Airbender' and 'After Earth'. I myself really admired his earlier work and he was one of my favourite director back in the day; before the dark times, before the fall. This movie kinda felt like a return for him. It is about two kids, brother and sister, who are sent to spend a week with their grandparents, with whom their mother hasn't talked to for almost two decades and while they are staying there, things start to get weird. It's a comedy-horror of sorts. The movie was shot in found-footage style and it was nice to see that the movie had a reason to incorporate that. The sister in the movie is an aspiring filmmaker and wants to make this documentary for her mother and stuff. She is accompanied by her younger brother and it was a bold move by Shymala...
