Becca (Olivia DeJonge) and younger brother Tyler (Ed Oxenbould) 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 (Deanna Dunagan) and Pop Pop (Peter McRobbie), 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.

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

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

While Shyamalan doesn’t reinvent the wheel with “The Visit”, he does show the creative flourishes that made him a respected name and overnight success in the horror-thriller genre.

This movie was more creepy than scary, but it had its subtle scares, and the performers were pitch perfect. More of a slow burning thriller than a gore fest, and I found it fun as hell

Found it easier to fast forward all the pointless fluff and by the end of the movie I realised it was an interesting idea but poorly executed. Good twist but had to wait too long for anything meaningful
