Why it’s HorroRated
The Visit is a late-career Shyamalan film that works because he calibrated the tone precisely: unsettling enough to function as horror, funny enough to release the tension, and structured around a reveal that reframes everything. The grandparents are well-cast and the found footage format is used with more discipline than the trend usually produced. One of his better recent films.
Synopsis
M. Night Shyamalan returns to found footage with a film that works better as a slow comedy of anxiety than as horror, with a reveal that reframes everything. The grandparents are well-cast and the format is used with more discipline than the trend usually produced. A smaller film than most of his work.
