Now streaming on:

M. Night Shyamalan had his heyday almost 20 years ago. He leapt out of the gate with such confidence he became a champion instantly. And then...something went awry. He became embarrassingly self-serious, his films drowning in pretension and strained allegories. His famous twists felt like a director attempting to re-create the triumph of " The Sixth Sense ," where the twist of the film was so successfully withheld from audiences that people went back to see the film again and again. But now, here comes " The Visit ," a film so purely entertaining that you almost forget how scary it is. With all its terror, "The Visit" is an extremely funny film. 

There are too many horror cliches to even list ("gotcha" scares, dark basements, frightened children, mysterious sounds at night, no cellphone reception), but the main cliche is that it is a "found footage" film, a style already wrung dry. But Shyamalan injects adrenaline into it, as well as a frank admission that, yes, it is a cliche, and yes, it is absurd that one would keep filming in moments of such terror, but he uses the main strength of found footage: we are trapped by the perspective of the person holding the camera. Withhold visual information, lull the audience into safety, then turn the camera, and OH MY GOD WHAT IS THAT? 

"The Visit" starts quietly, with Mom ( Kathryn Hahn ) talking to the camera about running away from home when she was 19: her parents disapproved of her boyfriend. She had two kids with this man who recently left them all for someone new. Mom has a brave demeanor, and funny, too, referring to her kids as "brats" but with mama-bear affection. Her parents cut ties with her, but now they have reached out  from their snowy isolated farm and want to know their grandchildren. Mom packs the two kids off on a train for a visit.

Shyamalan breaks up the found footage with still shots of snowy ranks of trees, blazing sunsets, sunrise falling on a stack of logs. There are gigantic blood-red chapter markers: "TUESDAY MORNING", etc. These choices launch us into the overblown operatic horror style while commenting on it at the same time. It ratchets up the dread.

Becca ( Olivia DeJonge ) and Tyler ( Ed Oxenbould ) want to make a film about their mother's lost childhood home, a place they know well from all of her stories. Becca has done her homework about film-making, and instructs her younger brother about "frames" and "mise-en-scène." Tyler, an appealing gregarious kid, keeps stealing the camera to film the inside of his mouth and his improvised raps. Becca sternly reminds him to focus. 

The kids are happy to meet their grandparents. They are worried about the effect their grandparents' rejection had on their mother (similar to Cole's worry about his mother's unfinished business with her own parent in "The Sixth Sense"). Becca uses a fairy-tale word to explain what she wants their film to do — it will be an "elixir" to bring home to Mom. 

Nana ( Deanna Dunagan ), at first glance, is a Grandma out of a storybook, with a grey bun, an apron, and muffins coming out of the oven every hour. Pop Pop ( Peter McRobbie ) is a taciturn farmer who reminds the kids constantly that he and Nana are "old." 

But almost immediately, things get crazy. What is Pop Pop doing out in the barn all the time? Why does Nana ask Becca to clean the oven, insisting that she crawl all the way in ? What are those weird sounds at night from outside their bedroom door? They have a couple of Skype calls with Mom, and she reassures them their grandparents are "weird" but they're also old, and old people are sometimes cranky, sometimes paranoid. 

As the weirdness intensifies, Becca and Tyler's film evolves from an origin-story documentary to a mystery-solving investigation. They sneak the camera into the barn, underneath the house, they place it on a cabinet in the living room overnight, hoping to get a glimpse of what happens downstairs after they go to bed. What they see is more than they (and we) bargained for.

Dunagan and McRobbie play their roles with a melodramatic relish, entering into the fairy-tale world of the film. And the kids are great, funny and distinct. Tyler informs his sister that he wants to stop swearing so much, and instead will say the names of female pop singers. The joke is one that never gets old. He falls, and screams, "Sarah McLachlan!" When terrified, he whispers to himself, " Katy Perry ... " Tyler, filming his sister, asks her why she never looks in the mirror. "Your sweater is on backwards." As he grills her, he zooms in on her, keeping her face off-center, blurry grey-trunked trees filling most of the screen. The blur is the mystery around them. Cinematographer Maryse Alberti creates the illusion that the film is being made by kids, but also avoids the nauseating hand-held stuff that dogs the found-footage style.

When the twist comes, and you knew it was coming because Shyamalan is the director, it legitimately shocks. Maybe not as much as "The Sixth Sense" twist, but it is damn close. (The audience I saw it with gasped and some people screamed in terror.) There are references to " Halloween ", "Psycho" (Nana in a rocking chair seen from behind), and, of course, " Paranormal Activity "; the kids have seen a lot of movies, understand the tropes and try to recreate them themselves. 

"The Visit" represents Shyamalan cutting loose, lightening up, reveling in the improvisational behavior of the kids, their jokes, their bickering, their closeness. Horror is very close to comedy. Screams of terror often dissolve into hysterical laughter, and he uses that emotional dovetail, its tension and catharsis, in almost every scene. The film is ridiculous  on so many levels, the story playing out like the most monstrous version of Hansel & Gretel imaginable, and in that context, "ridiculous" is the highest possible praise.

• EauQuiChante Certains films sont plutôt moyens (ou déjà vu pourrait-on dire) dans l'ensemble mais parviennent à rehausser le niveau par une fin totalement inattendue...Ici c'est le cas: on a un film caméra sur épaule qui nous montre deux enfants qui vont rencontrer leurs grands parents dans une ferme isolée et petit à petit ce qui aurait dû être quelque chose de banal (d'ailleurs c'est l'intérêt de la caméra sur épaule: montrer la banalité du quotidien, tel que chacun peut la voir) se transforme en quelque chose de plus inquiétant. Alors qu'ils devraient être à l'abri chez leurs grands parents on se rend compte que ce n'est pas le cas. C'est de là que vient la tension dramatique. Toutefois, le film reste pendant longtemps trop ambigu, j'ai trouvé que la montée en tension n'était pas forcément très bien négociée et il y a des passages un peu longs...Donc au total un film un peu moyen...jusqu'à la fin, que je n'attendais pas, et qui comme je l'ai dit est très bonne et inattendue, très bien vue. Je me suis fait piéger, ce que j'aime bien dans un film...
• kellymanu Très bon film found footage, le twist de fin est crédible, super bien trouvé et explique beaucoup de chose. Une belle réussite pour moi.
• galaxy22 Pas mal du tout.Après, c'est clair que le réalisateur s'est énormément inspiré de Paranormal Activity, d'une part, avec les personnages qui se filment eux-mêmes pour raconter l'histoire, et d'autre part, concernant la stratégie commerciale du film, à savoir, faire un film avec un budget minimal pour un profit maximal. Et je pense que cette recette a bien marché.
• Naewin Malgré quelques longueurs, c'est un bon petit found footage avec de très bons acteurs et un twist très efficace.
• Cowboys from Hell La mamy est bien flippante par moment 😲 . Le film est assez bon tout comme les acteurs et actrices (Olivia Dejonghe pète l'écran) et un des meilleurs films found footage. 3.5/5.
• Jack Torrance D. Le twist final est incroyable il fait froid dans le dos
• I'm A Rocket Man Film dans lequel je n’avais pas placé beaucoup d’espoir et bien je m’étais trompé. Je m’attendais à un film sans intérêt, un peu racoleur mais pas effrayant deux secondes et bien je peux vous dire que j’ai flippé. Et bien comme il faut ! La grand mère est terrifiante, les scènes la nuit sont angoissantes et le rebondissement final est bluffant. Juste dommage que la réalisation soit si moyenne et que la fin soit un peu décevante vu le potentiel ! Une bonne surprise tout de même (mon chéri se souviendra longtemps de la partie de cache cache au sous sol -_-)
• solaris-33 Et voilà. Encore un exemple de la generation qui ne sait plus regarder un film. Je mate je zappe. Puree, comment juger un film sans l'avoir vu en entier?! Et puis c'est pas du tout un film Netflix. Vous ne connaissez rien au cinema et vous ne savez pas regarder un film. Si votre truc, c'est la grande distribution (Marvel), regardez les super heros et leurs films bourrins décérébrés, plutot. Vous ne serez pas décu.
• evanov Excellent film vu 2 fois un mélange de flippe et d'éclats de rires. Comme d'habitude avec ce réalisateur, casting, mise en scène et scénario au top
• Szerelem De nombreux défauts - un twist attendu, trop peu voire pas du tout de moments effrayants, et beaucoup, beaucoup trop de temps morts qui plombent le rythme de l'ensemble - mais globalement le film reste plaisant et divertissant. Pour moi, un film mineur dans la filmo de Shyamalan. +1 pour la fin, émouvante.
• PowerKing - Les Chroniques du C'est un fait. J'ai du mal m'exprimer en disant qu'il était SUR netflix, et non DE netflix. Comme Avenger en effet.
• Lefandefilms Ravi de même
• Lefandefilms Absolument d'accord ^^
• Adlane M. c pas parcequil est sur Netflix que c un film de Netflix ya avangers sur Netflix ca en fait un film Netflix?
• Adlane M. c pas un film netflix c le réalisateur de Split qui la fait moi j'ai trouvé pas mal sans rien révolutionné
• PowerKing - Les Chroniques du Pas du tout d'accord avec ça. Après, si tu préfère payer 10 balles tous les soirs pour aller au cinoche, fais toi plaise. Ou encore l'incroyable qualité des programmes TV!! Netflix a changer la donne sur bien des points.
• PowerKing - Les Chroniques du Lorsqu'on fait un bref bilan de la filmographie de Night Shyamalan, on comprend alors que le talent n'est pas donné à tout le monde. Lui en tout cas est un maitre du suspens, et plus précisément dans l'art de faire monter l'horreur en puissance. Cette visite tout à fait innocente chez des grands parents jusqu'à ce jour inconnus est un exemple probant de situation dérangeante. C'en est même le paroxysme. A tel point que le dénouement nous prend aux tripes, l'angoisse nous tenaille, lorsqu'on comprend la gravité de la situation. Remercions par ailleurs les bienfaits du hors champs et son pouvoir de suggestion. Depuis quelques années, les caméras en found footage font des ravages, je parle évidemment de REC, pour rester dans le même registre. A noter que les réactions des protagonistes sont très instinctives, réalistes. C'est donc un bon point supplémentaire pour le jeu d'acteur. Une atmosphère insoutenable pour une référence en matière d'épouvante. 4,5/5
• PowerKing - Les Chroniques du En temps qu’adepte de Netflix, je suis ravi de défendre ce film à tes côtés comme il se doit. C'est une petite merveille du genre horrifique. Flippant à souhait.
• garounours ah les films Netflix... on comprend mieux pourquoi c'est pas cher ! il est d'un chiant ce film..il se passe rien, abandon avant la fin, comme la plupart des films Netflix récents.
• Lefandefilms Absolument d'accord. La est la beauté du cinéma , il en faut pour tout les goûts c'est tout tout fait ca :)

Review by Josh Lewis ★★★★ 4

"Old people sometimes have troubles with their body" "People leave. They find something better."

Doesn't quite have the scope of his early work but probably the most vital found footage filmmaking has felt in... ever? Shyamalan's visual grace & intelligence blends really well with the cheap, modern ageism Hansel & Gretal exploitation movie he's making here and he very effectively uses the immediacy inherent to the form to sneak real sudden thrills into some of his usual themes of familial breakdown/estrangement and masking/physically overcoming emotional trauma. There are a number of very creepily conceived shocks but weirdly enough the film is much more emotionally clear & cathartic than it is scary by the end. It totally works though so I have trouble seeing this as a bad thing.

Review by SilentDawn ★★★★½ 16

The works of M. Night Shyamalan, no matter the quality, are each on a quest of searching mystery and eventual discovery. All of his films are bursting with uneasy traps and elusive secrets, and it is these traits in which Shyamalan's fame was built upon. To say he had a dry spell is a massive understatement, but as soon as The Visit flares up with its opening shot, a startling vision immediately makes its presence known.

I felt like I was home again.

The Visit , while advertised as a silly and creepy chiller, is more of an insane boiling pot of family turmoil and batshit antics. It's a bewildering mix of humor, horror, and heart-wrenching dramatic impact, and each…

Review by Neil Bahadur ★★★★½ 10

Unbelievable. Probably my 2nd favourite Shyamalan...one of the great films where everything you thought was right turns out to be wrong, and certainly the scariest film Shyamalan has made. There is explosive digital formalism, cameras seem to be attached to bodies and in moments of intense, quick movement the frame is obscured by flinging hair and occasional ruptures in the image of a human face; abstractions which could be only captured by the size of consumer grade cameras. In a way, it's inspiring because of that.

But much of this movie's terror comes from the opposite of Shyamalan's earlier tendencies, that we should believe in ghosts and demons ala Dreyer or Tourneur. Rather, people are terrifying, and even worse, family.…

▶ 2015 Movie Rankings

▶ RANKED: M. Night Shyamalan

Is it better than Mad Max: Fury Road ? Even a (very welcome and long-awaited) Shyamalan resurgence can't top the chrome juggernaut.

Wait, wait, wait, hold up, hold up... Shyamalan made a good movie?! M. Night Shyamalan? What?! Yes, people, believe it. Your favorite punching bag is back with a vengeance. It's not as great as The Sixth Sense or Unbreakable , but it's a step in the right direction.

Is there a twist? It's Shyamalan. Of course, there's a twist.

Is the twist predictable? I saw it coming from the get-go. It's a pretty good twist though. It's the sort that doesn't ruin the fun even if you do guess it early…

The Visit: Where Was M. Night Shyamalan’s Horror Movie Shot?

Helmed by director M. Night Shyamalan, ‘The Visit’ is a thrilling found-footage film that follows siblings Becca and Tyler as they visit their grandparents, and notice their increasingly disturbing behavior. After arriving at their grandparents’ quaint countryside home, Becca and Tyler are delighted to be able to spend time with them after so long. A day of delightful catching up later, Pop Pop puts the two to sleep and strongly suggests that they not leave their room after nine-thirty. Later that night the children hear loud bangs and scratchings. Soon the elders’ strange behaviour leaks over to the daytime, making the siblings concerned for their safety, but failing to convince their mother to pick them up.

The 2015 film’s tension builds steadily as the siblings uncover dark family secrets and struggle to survive in a house filled with eerie mysteries . ‘The Visit’ delivers a compelling blend of psychological horror and thrilling situations, using its simple backdrop and premise to create terrifying circumstances. The chilling story is contrasted heavily by its seemingly mundane backdrop, which is later revealed to hide disturbing realities within its layers. Thus the atmospheric tension built throughout the tale may spark curiosity in some regarding its real-world filming sites.

The Visit Filming Locations

‘The Visit’ was filmed mainly in Philadelphia, Chester Springs, and Royersford, Pennsylvania, with a few scenes shot in Miami, Florida. Principal photography began on February 19, 2014, under the tentative title, ‘Sundowning,’ and was wrapped up in about a month by March 21 of the same year. In an interview , writer-director Shyamalan marveled at finding the ideal actors to bring his story to life, saying, “This might be my perfect constellation of actors, it’s as if these people were the people that I wrote.” Let’s examine the sites seen throughout the film and their real-life counterparts.

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Situated along the banks of the Delaware River, the city of Philadelphia has a brief appearance in ‘The Visit,’ primarily at the beginning and end of the film. When the siblings are dropped off at the train station by their mother, the site is actually the 30th Street Station at 3001 Market Street. Officially known as William H. Gray III 30th Street Station, the prominent intermodal transit station is defined by its grand classical entrance held up with Roman pillars.

Chester Springs, Pennsylvania

Filming for the grandparents’ house and its exterior scenes was carried out on 3049 Merlin Road, in the unincorporated community of Chester Springs in Chester County. The community lies west of Philadelphia, and its serene snow-covered landscape can be spotted early in ‘The Visit’ as the siblings travel to their grandparents’ house.

Royersford, Pennsylvania

Nestled along the Schuylkill River, the borough of Royersford stood in for much of the town seen in the film as the characters left the house. Shooting for these scenes was done on 330 Main Street, its small-town charm imbuing the narrative with a pleasant departure from the claustrophobic situations at the elders’ house. Further filming was done on location at 705 Washington Street, which is a quintessential suburban neighborhood.

When the grandfather takes the siblings out to a school, shooting for the sequence was done at the 5/6 Grade Center on 833 South Lewis Road. After their visit, whilst returning, they begin to play a game of pointing out at buildings and guessing their stories. The children point to a large, red-bricked complex lined with white windows. The grandfather ominously reveals the structure to be the Maple Shade Psychiatric Hospital, where he had supposedly volunteered at an earlier point in time. The structure is actually the Royersford Spring Company on 98 Main Street which manufactures automotive parts and springs.

Miami, Florida

For a couple of scenes on a cruise ship, the film crew ventured onboard the Royal Caribbean’s Allure of the Seas for a few days in Miami. The city’s bustling seaport, PortMiami, stands as the Cruise Capital of the World, welcoming millions of passengers annually to embark on voyages to exotic destinations. The cruise ship, Royal Caribbean’s Allure of the Seas, was used as a set for ‘The Visit.’ A casting call for extras announced the need for upscale cruise wear and skills related to activities carried out on the ship, such as wakeboarding and rock wall climbing.

The Ending Of The Visit Explained

Contains spoilers for  The Visit

M. Night Shyamalan is notorious for using dramatic twists towards the endings of his films, some of which are pulled off perfectly and add an extra layer of depth to a sprawling story (hello, Split ). Some of the director's other offerings simply keep the audience on their toes rather than having any extra subtext or hidden meaning. Shyamalan's 2015 found-footage horror-comedy  The Visit , which he wrote and directed, definitely fits in the latter category, aiming for style over substance.

The Visit follows 15-year-old Becca Jamison (Olivia DeJonge) and her 13-year-old brother Tyler (Ed Oxenbould) when they spend the week with their mother's estranged parents, who live in another town. Loretta (played by WandaVision 's Kathryn Hahn ) never explained to her children why she separated herself away from her parents, but clearly hopes the weekend could help bring the family back together.

Although The Visit occasionally toys with themes of abandonment and fear of the unknown, it wasn't particularly well-received by critics on its initial release, as many struggled with its bizarre comedic tone in the found-footage style. So, after Tyler and his camera record a number of disturbing occurrences like Nana (Deanna Dunagan) projectile-vomiting in the middle of the night and discovering "Pop Pop"'s (Peter McRobbie) mountain of used diapers, it soon becomes clear that something isn't right with the grandparents.

Here's the ending of  The Visit  explained.

The Visit's twist plays on expectations

Because Shyamalan sets up the idea of the separation between Loretta and her parents very early on — and doesn't show their faces before Becca and Tyler meet them — the film automatically creates a false sense of security. Even more so since the found-footage style restricts the use of typical exposition methods like flashbacks or other scenes which would indicate that Nana and Pop Pop aren't who they say they are. Audiences have no reason to expect that they're actually two escapees from a local psychiatric facility.

The pieces all come together once Becca discovers her  real grandparents' corpses in the basement, along with some uniforms from the psychiatric hospital. It confirms "Nana" and "Pop-Pop" escaped from the institution and murdered the Jamisons because they were a similar age, making it easy to hide their whereabouts from the authorities. And they would've gotten away with it too, if it weren't for those meddling kids.)

However, after a video call from Loretta reveals that the pair aren't her parents, the children are forced to keep up appearances — but the unhinged duo start to taunt the siblings. Tyler in particular is forced to face his fear of germs as "Pop Pop" wipes dirty diapers in his face. The germophobia is something Shyamalan threads through Tyler's character throughout The Visit,  and the encounter with "Pop Pop" is a basic attempt of showing he's gone through some kind of trial-by-fire to get over his fears.

But the Jamison kids don't take things lying down: They fight back in vicious fashion — a subversion of yet another expectation that young teens might would wait for adults or law enforcement officers to arrive before doing away with their tormentors.

Its real message is about reconciliation

By the time Becca stabs "Nana" to death and Tyler has repeatedly slammed "Pop-Pop"'s head with the refrigerator door, their mother and the police do arrive to pick up the pieces. In a last-ditch attempt at adding an emotional undertone, Shyamalan reveals Loretta left home after a huge argument with her parents. She hit her mother, and her father hit her in return. But Loretta explains that reconciliation was always on the table if she had stopped being so stubborn and just reached out. One could take a domino-effect perspective and even say that Loretta's stubbornness about not reconnecting and her sustained distance from her parents put them in exactly the vulnerable position they needed to be for "Nana" and "Pop-Pop" to murder them. 

Loretta's confession actually mirrors something "Pop-Pop" told Tyler (before his run-in with the refrigerator door): that he and "Nana" wanted to spend one week as a normal family before dying. They should've thought about that before murdering a pair of innocent grandparents, but here we are. 

So, is The Visit  trying to say that if we don't keep our families together, they'll be replaced by imposters and terrify our children? Well, probably not. The Visit tries to deliver a message about breaking away from old habits, working through your fears, and stop being so stubborn over arguments that don't have any consequences in the long-run. Whether it actually sticks the landing on all of those points is still up for debate.

Every Character M. Night Shyamalan Played In His Own Movies

The first "found footage" movie came 38 years before the blair witch project, how many m. night shyamalan movies really have twists.

• "The Visit" is a twist-filled thriller that earned its scares through a plausible story and clever use of found footage genre.
• Despite being eerily plausible, "The Visit" is actually a work of pure fiction and not based on a true story.
• The film explores themes of aging, fear, and generational trauma, while also highlighting the importance of forgiveness and reconciliation.

M. Night Shyamalan's twist-filled thriller The Visit kept viewers guessing all the way up to the shocking conclusion, but is the found footage horror hit based on a true story? Released in 2015, The Visit follows teen siblings Becca (Olivia DeJonge) and Tyler (Ed Oxenbould) as they are sent to spend a week with their estranged grandparents. Naturally, strange things are afoot, and the teens must learn the shocking truth about their relatives. As with all of Shyamalan's horror movies, The Visit built up to a shocking twist that many didn't see coming, but it cleverly incorporated humor in a way that left many perplexed by its tone.

Despite a largely mixed critical reaction (via Rotten Tomatoes ), The Visit was a bona fide financial success (via Box Office Mojo ) and it stands as one of M. Night Shyamalan's highest-grossing movies . Unlike many of Shyamalan's other films which incorporate fantastical elements, The Visit earned its scares by being an entirely plausible story. Visually speaking, Shyamalan used the found footage genre deftly to convey a deeper meaning, and he got genuinely creepy moments from what could have easily been goofy. The compelling mix of plausibility and realism had many wondering whether The Visit was actually based on a true story.

Filmmaker M. Night Shyamalan has played characters in 11 of his movies, ranging from starring roles to the smallest of cameos.

The Visit Is Not Based On A True Story

Despite being eerily plausible, The Visit was actually a work of pure fiction and had no connection to real life. The script was penned by M. Night Shyamalan himself, with many of the movie's more positive reviews calling it a return to his former glory. Nearly all the writer/director's films have been works of his own imagination and in an interview with Geeks of Doom he said " That is the primal thing of it, that we are scared of getting old. Playing on that is a powerful conceit ". The director would return to that theme a few years later in 2021's Old but to a less effective extent.

The Grandparents Twist Explained

Throughout the film, Becca and Tyler are unsure about the behavior of their Pop Pop (Peter McRobbie) and Nana (Deana Dunagan), who have seemingly grown worse as the story progresses. Obviously, something wasn't right about the elderly couple, but the pieces finally clicked when Becca discovered the remains of her real grandparents stashed away in the basement. It is revealed that Pop Pop and Nana are actually escaped patients from the local mental health facility and that they have killed Becca and Tyler's grandparents to assume their lives. It is unclear whether the two escapees would have posed a threat to the kids if they hadn't nosed around.

If there is one thing that the multi-talented Shyamalan is best known for it is his films' abundant use of shocking twists towards the end of his stories. Nearly every M. Night Shyamalan twist has kept audiences guessing, and The Visit was unique because it truly earned its shocking climax. Unlike earlier films which stuck a twist in just to fulfill the obligation, The Visit naturally built towards the twist, and it was a crucial part of the plot, unlike so many throw-away gimmick twists of the past.

Why The Visit Is A Found Footage Movie

Thanks to blockbuster horror hits like Paranormal Activity , the found footage genre started to expand in earnest at the beginning of the 2010s. However, by 2015 and the release of The Visit , the style had largely fallen out of favor. Despite this downturn in popularity, The Visit nevertheless opted for an approach that innovated the found footage tropes by injecting a bit of humor and eschewing the self-serious tone. From a story perspective, The Visit is a found footage movie because it is about Becca's quest to chronicle her family for a documentary, but the choice actually goes deeper.

Unlike other directors who chose found footage as a cheap way to save on the movie's budget, Shyamalan intellectualized the style by making it crucial to the plot. In the same Geeks of Doom interview, the director mentioned " The camera is an extension of those characters...It is manifesting in literal cinematography in this particular movie ". Additionally, Becca's abundant camera usage actually factors into the plot, such as when she shows the footage to her mother, which further integrates it into the fabric of the film.

The Blair Witch Project was key in the history of the found-footage technique, but the very first movie to use this style was released in 1961.

The Significance Of Tyler’s Phobias

Horror movies are all about exploiting common phobias , and The Visit used Tyler's irrational fears as a chance to spook viewers and say something about the themes as well. Tyler is shown to be a bit of a germaphobe, and he also has a fear of freezing to death. While both have rational elements and point back to the omnipresent fear of death from which all phobias stem, Tyler's fears also speak to the idea that the elderly are frightening because they are reminders of death. The slow degradation of the body through aging is a lot like freezing to death, and it is clear that Tyler sees his elderly grandparents as unclean which activates his germ phobia.

The hilariously gruesome scene in which Pop Pop rubs his dirty adult diaper in Tyler's face forces the younger man to confront his fears, and it empowers him later when he finally dispatches the imposter grandpa. It is likely not a coincidence that Tyler kills Pop Pop by slamming his head in the refrigerator, as the ice box is an extension of Tyler's fear of freezing. He literally kills his tormentor with a symbol of the thing that mentally torments him.

How Loretta’s Past Affected The Kids

At the beginning of the film, Becca and Tyler's mom Loretta (Kathryn Hahn) explains that she hasn't spoken to her parents in 15 years because she eloped with one of her high school teachers when she was only a teenager. Instead of facing her problems like an adult, Loretta instead allowed her kids to act as a bridge between the generations, inadvertently sending them to live with two violent escapees from the local mental health ward. Loretta would later reveal that Nana and Pop Pop aren't her parents in one of Shyamalan's most terrifying scares , but she was away on a cruise and couldn't come to their aid.

This forces her kids to mature faster than she ever could, and they go on the offense as they are tasked with escaping from the murderous impostors occupying their grandparent's home. At the end of the film, Loretta explains her last interaction with her parents turned violent, which sheds a bit of light on why she couldn't just face up to the past. In some ways, Loretta's choices as a teenager eventually led to the precarious situation that Becca and Tyler ended up in, and she passed a bit of generational trauma on to them.

Why Becca Puts Her Father In The Documentary

Having survived the harrowing ordeal, Becca's documentary finally begins to take shape at the very end of The Visit . She is given the chance to cut in footage of her estranged father, and though Loretta informs her she doesn't have to, Becca opts to put him in. This choice shows that Becca has matured significantly since the titular visit, and she has come to the realization that forgiveness really is the best path. Loretta could never forgive her parents, and it robbed her of a chance for reconciliation. By putting her dad in the documentary, Becca left that door open for her future self and maybe her own children too.

M. Night Shyamalan is famous for his signature twist endings but when put under a more discerning lens, not all of his films have an authentic twist.

The Real Meaning Of The Visit’s Ending

From a horror perspective, the ending of The Visit is all about the fear of death as personified by the elderly. Nana and Pop Pop are terrifying embodiments of the eventual degradation of the body, though they also fill the role of the conventional horror antagonist. However, from a more thematic side, The Visit is also about forgiveness and reconciliation, as the harboring of deep-seated pain can eventually lead to a bad outcome. Even if it isn't literally an encounter with escaped murderers, it is at least a path of nothing but pain and loss.

Bon, pour Shyamalan, je suis resté au 6ème sens. J’avais pas trop apprécié Incassable, je m’étais profondément ennuyé avec Signes, j’avais trouvé Spilt vide et insupportable… Mais voilà, le hasard, le temps qui a passé, je me suis laissé aller à voir The Visit en me disant qu’il avait peut-être retrouvé son génie d’antan ou que j’avais exagéré… Ce n’est pas ce film qui va me réconcilier avec le réalisateur. Le found footage ne sert à rien et offre quasi une heure de creux sans intérêt. L’histoire est basique au possible, d’une facilité déconcertante, sans réelle surprise, même la fin… Je ne crois pas une seconde à la mère qui accepte de confier ses enfants à des parents qu’elle n’a pas vu depuis 15 ans sans les accompagner, aux enfants qui ont envie d’y passer une semaine seuls, aux enfants qui ne demandent pas à rentrer chez eux dès les premiers trucs bizarres de la grand-mère… Il n’y a que l’ambiance qui sauve le truc parce que ouais, après une heure, ça commence à devenir un poil flippant, mais même là, les enfants restent d’un calme olympien rapport à ce qui se passe… Bref, on dirait un truc bricolé à la va-vite ; pas du tout adhéré.

J ai adoré !! Et cette fin tellement inattendue !! Du grand art à la Shyamalan !

Film qui fait assez flipper, surtout la vieille... En fait les deux vieux me mettent assez mal à l'aise. Le petit tour sous la maison... Au secours! D'ailleurs, j'ai du mal à comprendre que les gamins n'aient p as eu l'envie de se barrer après le coup sous la maison et la grand mère qui ressort avec la fesse a l'air.. À leur place, j'aurais demandé à rentrer chez moi.. Par contre, le gamin est INSUPPORTABLE !! Entre ses pseudo rap, sa façon de parler ou ses pics à sa sœur ex: "Et toi t'as rien dans le soutif" ou "touche à ta life ma grande"..personne ne parle comme ça !! Shyamalan a fait tellement mais tellement mieux que ça !

Heureusement que les ados dans la salle criaient à chaqur jump scare et me faisaient rire parce que j'étais TRÈS énervée de le real utilise encore la maladie mentale comme objet d'horreur. C'est hyper insultant au minimum. Surtout quand c'est dans un mauvais film comme ça. Conclusion : merci les ados vous êtes trop drôles 💜

J'ai trouvé l'ambiance du film assez glauque vu qu'il s'agit quand même de 2 vieux, surtout la mamie qui faisait bien flipper. En soit le film n'est pas très extravagant, mais c'est un bon divertissement !

Perso j'ai adoré. Je ne savais pas trop à quoi m'attendre et je me suis retrouvée à rire toute seule. maintenant le goût des uns ne sont pas ceux des autres mais cela change vraiment des autres films et je ne regrette pas de l'avoir regardé

La façon dont le film est fait est intéressante caméra la main des enfants ! Pas de musique ! C'est vraiment total immersion on se prend vite au jeu ! Mais au final le twist de fin est assez faible et c'est bie n dommage ! L'ensemble du film est pas mal, mais la montée en apothéose et la fin pas transcendante !

La chute est inattendue mais il y a que ça de bien dans ce film.

C'est un film angoissant avec une vraie histoire qui prend un peu plus de place que l'horreur pour le coup. Une histoire de famille, chaque génération a ses problèmes, ses doutes, ses non-dits. Ca fait plus p enser à un film classique où les événements s'installent un peu lentement mais sûrement. Les acteurs sont excellents, l'image magnifique. Le point de vue subjectif très bien fait et Shyamalan s'amuse pas mal avec. Des scènes flippantes quand on ne s'y attend pas et un twist final comme le réal sait les faire ! Conclusion : Ce film ne vous fera pas pisser de peur dans votre couche (si vous visionnez le film vous comprendrez), mais si vous appréciez les films d'horreur avec un scénario il y a de grandes chances qu'il vous plaise !

The Visit est le grand retour de Night Shyamalan après les 2 bouses qu'il nous a pondu (After Earth, Le dernier maître de l'air) ... Enfin !

J'ai bien aimé. Ça change des films "d'horreur" qu'on a l'habitude de voir.

Film particulier, mais pas désagréable. Le mélange humour-horreur est sympa, les gamins sont rigolos, et la fin n'est pas prévisible du tout, en tout cas, nous ne nous attendions pas à ça. Malgré tout, la cl assification horreur-épouvante n'est pas justifiée selon moi. Un film à suspens peut-être, et encore ! Nous avons davantage rigolé que flippé donc.... Un film à voir malgré tout selon moi :)

Ce film est d'un ennui édifiant, le plus mauvais Shyamalan vue depuis longtemps mais pour un film d'horreur ou d'angoisse, je dois dire que l'on c'est bien marré les 20 dernières minutes.

SHYAMALAN de plus en plus égal à lui meme... c'est ni bon ni mauvais... c'est bof... un film d'1h30 qui se résume en 15 mn au final...tout le reste, c'est du remplissage... on dirait un film réalisé avec troi s bouts de ficelle...aucun décor, un huit clos avec quelques extérieurs... j'ai pas eu la moindre angoisse, j'ai juste été surpris qd il dévoile qui sont papy et mammy... bon 20 secondes d'émotion...ha si...aussi qd elle gratte au mur toute nue..heu la je me suis dis qu'elle en tient une couche...

THE VISIT (une semaine à la campagne) Un film que j'ai trouvé bof bofce n'est pas mauvais,mais pas super non plus (heureusement qu'il ne dure qu' 1H30) Les paysages sont beaux,ça respire le calme et la séré nité de la campagne,et ça fait du bien. Bon comme dans une multitude de productions américaines,les deux petits vieux vivent dans une baraque qui est,comment dire,IMMENSE!! lool c'est un manoir quoi,tout est démesuré,le four fait 2 mètres de profondeur,même les poignées de portes feraient pâlir de jalousie les matons d'EM CITY:-))) Bref on est aux states,le pays de la démesure... Le film ne m'aura pas laisser un souvenir mémorable,le rythme est assez lent,avec par moments de subites monter en pression,ce qui instille,on doit bien le reconnaître,un certain climat d'angoisse;en fait c'est surtout angoissant car on ne sait pas exactement à quoi s'attendre: du surnaturel,des monstres,des êtres possédés?? Le dénouement peut paraître quelque peu déroutant,même si on voit assez vite dans le développement du film où ça va nous mener. Et la scène finale est tout de même sacrément flippante,en fait c'est une scène dérangeante,et c'est ce qui la rend si flippante. P.S.: comme un con,j'ai regarder ce film à 23 heures,et là je flippe un peu en allant me coucher....

Perso j'ai flipper :/. Surtout parce-qu'ont comprend pas trop se qui se passe!

Je ne m'attendais pas a grand chose et J'ai vraiment été agréablement surprise par ce film ! Le twist de fin est inattendu ! Et le mélange humour/épouvante est bien pensé. Je le recommande totalement ;)

Je l'ai vu comme une bonne parodie de film d'horreur, pas du tout comme je l'attendais. Le petit garçon est excellent !
