Movie Reviews
I saw the movie at the Fantasy Film Festival in Germany - and I was surprised! Shyamalan is really back! The return to his filmmaking roots was the best he could do.
The story is very original and plays with the fear of getting old. Like most of Shyamalan's movies, this one has also an intimate family drama. So it's not only about horror. That's all Shyamalan. And there is also a big twist (don't worry i'm not going to reveal it) ...
The acting is great, especially Dunagang and McRobbie. The kid's acting is OK! But I must say that the girl plays better than the boy.
On top of that "The Visit" is also a kind of (dark) comedy! That's something completely new, I mean have you seen this before? It's not like the horror comedy "Severance" (Christopher Smith). It's really different! But find it out on your own! I just can recommend the movie!
