There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

I can't believe I didn't guess the ending! Lol My mind was going down a completely different track. Anyways, this creeped me out! And that's hard to do! The old woman did an incredible acting job. Too good if you ask me. The plot built suspense slowly, but fast enough to make you not want to watch towards the end! Gah. Shyamalan is a master of suspense. He knows exactly what to do to keep you interested and then smack you in the face. Before you know it, you're wanting to escape the movie because you feel like you're a part of it! Ughhhh! Well done man.

When I saw M. Night Shyamalama-ding-dong's name in the opening credits, I knew I had to take whatever was coming next with a grain of salt. However, I didn't expect to need the whole salt shaker. Truthfully, I wasn't expecting this movie to be THAT bad, but it is. "The Visit" is a new low for Shyamalan; embarrassingly bad, and bordering on unwatchable. It's one of those movies where you look at the time several times throughout, and by the time the credits are rolling, you want your time back-assuming you make it that far. This movie takes a few common horror tropes and mixes them together. It tells a very simple story-which needlessly drags its feet at times-from the viewpoint of two young teenage kids who are brother and sister. These two siblings go to visit their grandparents and things start getting weird-not an awful premise for a horror flick. It's not the concept that's bad, it's everything else (and I mean everything). There isn't a single shred of quality film making in this mess, and ironically, the lead protagonist is an aspiring film maker. The cherry atop this crap-cake is that it's ALL shot with handheld cameras, so you get a full 94 minutes of shaky camera time. It's a head-scratching-ly poor choice of style for a seasoned producer like Shyamalan.Maybe if I was still a kid and wanted a "scary movie" with some very mild horror and gross-out elements, then MAYBE I would've found this entertaining. Alas, I'm not, and if you're anywhere north of sixteen, then you probably want to watch a real movie that'll actually entertain you. To put it simply; steer clear of this abomination. The only terror you'll feel is the horror of never getting that hour and a half back.

Why do I watch Shyamalan's movies!! I can't say this is his worst movie (The Village) but geez! I will admit that I did not see the twist coming. Which is the first time that has happened in one of his movies since Unbreakable (most of his movies I cannot even discern what the twist was supposed to be). So some kids go to their grandparents house. The older child is an obnoxious, pretentious film snob -- one can only hope this is Shyamalan admitting to the world that he takes himself and his work WAY too seriously. The pertinent information is set up SO AWKWARDLY it is ridiculous. Randomly, the younger child starts talking about a past football experience that later becomes relevant. There HAD to be a better way to fit that in the story. The germ-phobia was also forced into the story so it could later be a plot device. That could easily have been worked in more elegantly. Also, haven't we seen the germ-phobia thing before? and the sports rage?I was not expecting much from this film, and it delivered. I watched it "to get it out of the way" because I feel obligated to watch his movies for some reason.

This movie is so poorly acted, poorly written, and unintentionally funny, that you'd almost think that this is an M. Night Shyamalan film. Every time the movie tries to be scary, it is funny. And every time the movie tries to be funny, it is cringey. It absolutely blows my mind that people actually like this movie. The twist was the same twist from a Spongebob episode from over a decade ago. Though the twist is actually alright, I just couldn't take it seriously after my brain made that connection. Absolute cancer.
