Review of The Visit (2015) by Junelkean — 28 Jun 2017
Over the past recent years, M. Night Shyamalan's films have let everyone down and disappointed and they've been considered as awful gems, but after watching The Visit, Shyamalan went back to his comfort zone and really showcased his capability both as a director and storyteller.
The Visit is an insanely ridiculous movie. Some audience would feel entertained after watching it, since it is a dark comedy. It also has great performances from its cast members: DeJonge, Oxenbould, Dunagan and McRobbie. But it never succeeds in hitting the jokes and thrills effective as what it supposed to bring. There are some times that the scenes are near being stupid, and the twist is not as great as others in his past movies.
In the end, The Visit welcomes Shyamalan, but as a film, there are some heavy-handed moments and gives cheap jumpscares and laughs to the audience.
VERDICT: Entertaining, but not funny. Creepy, but not scary.
