“"The Visit" was M. Night Shyamalan's first step back into the spotlight and I enjoyed it well enough when I first saw it despite it's flaws. It really still shocks me how much of a leap in quality happened between this and his next film "Split". I don't believe the film is great, by far, but I do believe it was one with a strong premise and some great scenes that, coupled with the prolific man who made it, will keep it from fading away into obscurity. There is much to say about the movie as it proved a stepping stone for Shymalan but foremost I believe that it would of been best served as a normal movie rather than one in the found footage/faux documentary style. This format hindered it as much as it made it stand out.

This was a nicely enticing paranoia film."

Movies the giraffe watched in 2017: April (28 movies items)"First viewing - April 17th Thanks to Split & encouragement from others (thank you) I happily plucked this off the shelf so I could finally watch it. And man, it's a lot of fun. The Visit is nothing great of course, but Shyamalan has a ball with the story and pokes fun at himself through the dialogue. When things get weird the tension ramps up and these moments deliver the goods. The teen boy's rapping was atrocious and while one could argue that fits it was still painful to sit through each ti"
