The Visit *

 directed this Thriller. Watch Preview. Cast: Kathryn Hahn, Ed Oxenbould, Deanna Dunagan, Peter McRobbie, Olivia DeJonge. Rated PG-13 for disturbing thematic material including terror, violence and some nudity, and for brief language. Running time is one hour and thirty-four minutes.

A brother (Oxenbould) and sister (DeJonge) are sent to their grandparents' remote Pennsylvania farm by their mother (Hahn) for a weeklong trip, but discover the elderly couple (Dunagan, McRobbie) are deeply disturbed, making their chances of getting back home grow smaller every day.

The burning question this film asks is, "why on earth are film companies still giving Shyamalan money to make movies?"  The cast is fine as are the production values, but there are so few thrills in this film it quickly becomes a tedious bore. Oh, there are little oddities throughout, but nothing that will keep you on the edge of your seat. There is a Shyamalan twist at the end, but by then you're so disinterested it makes no difference. About the only people I can recommend this to are those suffering from insomnia, and I'm sure there are less painful ways to solve that problem.

There are no additional scenes once the credits begin. Screen size is unimportant. Theatres/Times.
