Some parts boring, the raping was repetitive and dull, seemed like it was trying to be modern, the camera shouldn't be hd, that ruins the scares, but entertaining, and there was one scene that made me want to scream

The visit will definitely deliver some satysfying chills, but anyone looking for a proper horror movie might find the visit a little dull.

There are some unsettling discoveries found but when the plot pace speeds up a bit and things do get a bit more sinister, I couldn't help but feel it was a cheap shot at older people with certain types of issues, which is a serious subject but the way this films plot worked, it felt a bit sensationalist or some such. It definitely had the feel of a b-movie about it.

However, the two young-ish kids/teens who are the main characters are relatively well informed and I suppose some believable things happen. It is somewhat atmospheric and its watchable, its not a truly awful film entirely, its alright, not quite really good but ok. It does feel a bit chilling, I just wish that perhaps some tweaks were made to the script/plot...oh and also the fact that the girl kept referring to her grandfather as 'pop pop' really got on my nerves but maybe thats just me?.… Expand

This movie is great comeback for M. Night Shyamalan after giving 2-3 successive disappointing movies. This movie was different and so much creepy.

From day one, you can tell that something isn't right but the suspense keeps on building and you can't tell what is happening until it is revealed.

The most surprising thing about this film is how naturally comedy, suspense, and horror are blended together. Nothing really felt forced or unnatural in acting, pace, or action. Overall, this movie should be given a try. This may prove good experience for you.… Expand

Although this movie isn't fantastic, it is unquestionably enough. It is original, frightening, and entertaining enough, and sometimes enough is enough.

With the humorousness scenes it's quite obvious that the film is not really a purely scary horror movie. But let's face it, there were scenes where it made you **** you pants, as well as making you laugh for minutes. The problem is that it cannot achieve them properly, nor in a nice dose. However, the acting was fine.

Shyamalan's filmography can be divided into pre-2006 and post-2006. The Visit is a bad movie compared to before and a good movie compared to after. If we consider it as an independent one, it's just another mediocre found footage.… Expand

It's a good movie. It's scary and the plot is believable enough, which is quite rare for horror movies. Also, the two kids are likable enough, not too stupid but not superheroes either.
