Review of The Visit (2015) by J1Train — 30 Sep 2015
The twist works in this ridiculously fun and genuinely scary M. Night Shyamalan thriller. The mockumentary style doesn't always play well, but it's a great way into the relationship between the two young stars and a welcome tweak of the "found footage" genre.
Deanna Dunagan steals the show as the creepy Nana who crawls through the house at night, but 14-year-old Ed Oxenbould comes close as Tyler. The film falls apart in its final 5 minutes when the horror subsides and it throws in one dose of drama and a final dose of comedy.
The mix of horror and humour works well throughout most of the film, but once The Visit becomes all-out scary-movie, it should have stayed there.
