Becca and younger brother Tyler say goodbye to their mother as they board a train and head deep into Pennsylvania farm country to meet their maternal grandparents for the first time. Welcomed by Nana and Pop Pop, all seems well until the siblings start to notice increasingly strange behavior from the seemingly charming couple. Once the children discover a shocking secret, they begin to wonder if they'll ever make it home.

Critics Consensus

The Visit provides horror fans with a satisfying blend of thrills and laughs -- and also signals a welcome return to form for writer-director M. Night Shyamalan.

Here, [Shyamalan] loosened up, shed some of his ego, and reminded all of us what a gifted writer and director he truly is.

'The Visit' takes a trip to the grandparents that's positively loaded with laughs and an overwhelming willingness to be weird.

A tepid horror yarn that might as well have been called Old People Are Scary!

This was really creepy at first with a great twist at the end. Then it just got really weird and kinky, and hhonestly kinda sucked. Bad ending to a good movie.

Meh, pretty cheesy and predictable. The kids are really annoying and not likable. Very unrealistic and silly.

The Visit starts strong than becomes very silly and did we really need the kid trying to rap.

The Visit is not a good movie and does not vindicate M. Night Shyamalan. Before the twist at the end is exposed, there is no real danger to the child stars. As soon as they are in danger the movie is over. The last fifteen minutes of film where things get tense is not worth the first hour of the film. The script succeeds when the characters interact with each other and fails when they try to be funny or act independently. The performances are better than the script. M. Night Shyamalan should never attempt comedy again.

I may have related to this movie more if I knew the feeling of what it's like to stay over at a grandparents house.

Right after "The Sixth Sense" the best revelation film in M. Night Shyamalan's film catalogue. Suspensful, frightening and exceptional original. What a joy!
