Visit, The

Visit, The

Comedy, Horror

A single mother finds that things in her family's life go very wrong after her two young children visit their grandparents.


The critical consensus

Ham-fisted horror-comedy from the serially inept M Night Shyamalan.

*(*)(*)(*)(*)Nikki Baughan, The List, 09/09/2015

The Sixth Sense director despatches a pair of charmless tweens to a predictable fate in a dull, derivative and dated drama.

*(*)(*)(*)(*)Mike McCahill, The Guardian, 10/09/2015

M Night Shyamalan's shocker-by-the-numbers has a twist in the tale.

**(*)(*)(*)Geoffrey MacNab, The Independent, 11/09/2015

None too original but effective. Scares, laughs and some authentic heartache as Shyamalan once more examines the wounds of a fractured family.

***(*)(*)Jamie Graham, Total Film, 10/09/2015

Shyamalan finds freshness in familiar horror tropes. After some big budget misfires, it’s great to see him go back to his smaller, scarier roots.

***(*)(*)Nick de Semlyen, Empire Online, 07/09/2015

Moderate fun but fairly forgettable.

**(*)(*)(*)Allan Hunter, Daily Express, 11/09/2015

There’s horror and comedy in this messy, shaky-cam nadir, but not the kind Shyamalan was aiming for.
