I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

One of my all time favorites.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

When I saw M. Night Shyamalama-ding-dong's name in the opening credits, I knew I had to take whatever was coming next with a grain of salt. However, I didn't expect to need the whole salt shaker. Truthfully, I wasn't expecting this movie to be THAT bad, but it is. "The Visit" is a new low for Shyamalan; embarrassingly bad, and bordering on unwatchable. It's one of those movies where you look at the time several times throughout, and by the time the credits are rolling, you want your time back-assuming you make it that far. This movie takes a few common horror tropes and mixes them together. It tells a very simple story-which needlessly drags its feet at times-from the viewpoint of two young teenage kids who are brother and sister. These two siblings go to visit their grandparents and things start getting weird-not an awful premise for a horror flick. It's not the concept that's bad, it's everything else (and I mean everything). There isn't a single shred of quality film making in this mess, and ironically, the lead protagonist is an aspiring film maker. The cherry atop this crap-cake is that it's ALL shot with handheld cameras, so you get a full 94 minutes of shaky camera time. It's a head-scratching-ly poor choice of style for a seasoned producer like Shyamalan.Maybe if I was still a kid and wanted a "scary movie" with some very mild horror and gross-out elements, then MAYBE I would've found this entertaining. Alas, I'm not, and if you're anywhere north of sixteen, then you probably want to watch a real movie that'll actually entertain you. To put it simply; steer clear of this abomination. The only terror you'll feel is the horror of never getting that hour and a half back.

Weirdly creepily absolutely terrifying. If I saw this in a movie theatre I would have kept backpedaling out of there with the horror. Really stupendously awesome. I could see this totally.

Horror is everywhereNot just terrifying ghosts and monstersEven simple visit to your grandparents might be a horror storyP.S. Old people are scary!

A lot of stupid things about this movie. (spoiler alert) 1) How does batter stick to plastic that the point where you couldn't scrape it off with your finger during the scene where the grandma intentionally used batter to cover up the lens so the kid's mom wouldn't be able to identify them. 2) Why is that every time when someone wants to talk to the grandparents, they are gone? For example when the kids used skype on their laptop in the kitchen, the grandparents are outside? Or when the counselor came over to check on up the grandparents because they didn't attend some charity event a few days ago, they were gone as well? 3) Why didn't the mother show a picture of the actual grandparents before sending the kids off? Why didn't the mother go along with them? Because she had to go on a cruise so she chanced her kids to strangers.4) Why didn't the kids question why there are no pictures of them in the refrigerator with the mother and how come all the pictures seem to be torn in half left on the refrigerator? 5) Why wasn't a red flag raised when the grandma intentionally avoids answering any questions when doing the documentary about the their mother? Because she couldn't since she doesn't know anything since she isn't the real grandmother.6) At the beginning of the movie, when the kids arrived at the house, grandpa told them not to go in the basement because there's a mold issue. Right then, had the kids asked "why?" they couldn't go down there because of mold, they would learn that their real grandparent corpses are hidden downstairs in the basement. This movie is based on human stupidity .
