The Visit (2015)

This is such a late review, but I don't give a shit because this movie kicked some serious scary ass.  Film director M. Night Shyamalan once again brings to life a creepy and memorable story that is sure to make you look at the elderly in a very different way.

A brother and sister go to visit their long estranged (from their mother) grandparents.  The teenage girl is an aspiring documentarian and the younger brother is a funny little guy who enjoys rap and substituting female pop singers for cuss words ("Oh Shakira!"). 

Grandma & Grandpa seem nice.  They live on a farm.  Homemade cookies and flannel shirts and...diapers?  Running through the house naked, scratching on the walls, pounding on the doors?  I literally felt like I needed a diaper once the madness started. 

This was a legit scary film with twists and turns and some all out screaming moments.  The storyline was unique and had you captured almost at once.  Well done!  Finally a movie that my wife enjoyed and that made our son pee his pants a little. 



Find The Visit - Trailer, make yourself some cookies, sit down and cuddle up, because these grandparents are going to haunt your dreams for weeks to come.
