But while the production values are simple, the script is sneakily complex. Like the best horror merchants, Shyamalan exploits our secret fears – in this case, of old age, ill health and dementia.
With The Visit, a pastoral horror comedy and found-footage, family dysfunction, fairy tale, film-within-a-film fiesta, a Shyamalan rebound happens. It’s a genuinely fun affair – let’s not write it off as a cult classic just yet – with the smirking air of a confidant and mischievous filmmaker.
Give Shyamalan this: He’s not a cynic, a nihilist, or a cynical nihilist — i.e., a filmmaker who leaves his monsters alive for no reason other than the hope of sequel money. The Visit has a rounded structure and a moral befitting a fairy tale. It’s an obvious movie, but a very decent one.
And it’s a movie where an adult diaper dripping with human shit has a key moment to play in the story. That alone makes The Visit worth seeing, but thankfully the film has a lot more to offer than just feces.
Was curious about the twist, but not enough to see it. Thank you Wikipedia.
I kind of feel this way about The Gift with the Arrested Development dude, but I still haven't given up on the idea of watching that one.
