The Visit (2015)

The visit was scarier than the reviews suggested. It was actually shocking how creepy some of the parts of the film were.

Absolutely dire . One of the WORST films I have EVER had the misfortune of seeing .Avoid it like the plague. You have been warned!

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.

This was an unusual kind of horror,a film made as a handheld docu recording-stylish piece. the story is simple, but varies alot, and i had not expected the way the film ended. i shall not reveal to much about that,but as a nurse working on a mentalgeriatric unit, with all kinds of mental disorders and different kinds of dementia , this film fulfilled my worst nightmares of what might happen at my next nightshift. diapers doesnt necceserially end in the bin,that might give you an idea. i find it a bit troublesome with all the handheld filming.but there are clear view and lots of light so ill manage. the junior actors are great,the elders especially mama are pretty scary,some jump scares throughout the movie.i give it a 6 for originality , the rest is on average. worth a watch.
