[Movie Review] The Visit 09-19-2015, 10:02 PM

I went and saw The Visit earlier today. All around, it was pretty good. Possibly the only good M. Knight Shamalaman movie since, well, ever.
I don't want to give too much away, so I'll keep the synopsis brief.
With a somewhat Blair Witch Project-y vibe, it follows a girl and her brother making a documentary about their grandparents, whom they've never met, as their mom had a terrible falling out with them when she was young.
At first, all seems normal with the grandparents, but things get progressively more twisted and creepy, with more jumpscares and the like as the kids start to figure out their dark secret.

It's often the outcasts, the iconoclasts ... those who have the least to lose because they
don't have much in the first place, who feel the new currents and ride them the farthest.
