In a surprising twist, M. Night Shyamalan\u2019s new horror-comedy \u201cThe Visit,\u201d ends with — a plot twist.<\/p>\n

Most people recognize the name M. Night Shyamalan as the director of the movies \u201cThe Sixth Sense\u201d and \u201cSigns.\u201d After those two outstanding films, Shyamalan\u2019s track record went down from there having made one poorly reviewed film after another. However, \u201cThe Visit\u201d is a step toward his former glory.<\/p>\n

The background is set as two siblings go to their grandparents\u2019 house for a week while their mom and her boyfriend go on a cruise. The grandchildren are excited to finally meet and spend time with their grandparents. However, within a couple of days, the siblings realize that their grandparents are acting out of the norm, starting with a strict 9:00 p.m. curfew where the kids were told to not leave their bedrooms. Before the week comes to a close, everything around the house unravels with the grandparents acting more bizarre and the kids lives at stake. The kids uncover a secret that will throw the audience for a loop.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Will the children make it out of the house safely? What is this secret that their grandparents are hiding, and will the little ones be rescued? Well … you will just have to watch the movie and find out.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

A Shyamalan film wouldn\u2019t be right if it didn\u2019t have intense, graphic scenes to make people jump out of their seats, and that\u2019s exactly what\u2019s packed into this movie. However, the film is filled with comedy that helps release some tension.<\/p>\n

The grandchildren, played by Ed Oxenbould and Olivia Dejonge, performed their roles with excellence. The thrill, horror, suspense and comedy are all there.<\/p>\n

I score this movie 6.5 out of 10. Still, with it receiving a 58 percent from Internet review site Rotten Tomatoes, I recommend at least seeing it at the dollar theater or waiting until it comes out on DVD.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
