It’s the shock of seeing Norman Bates, knife in hand, clad in his mother’s clothes, grinning maniacally in the swinging lamplight. It’s a supposedly dead husband rising from a bathtub with terrifying saucer contact-lenses. It’s finally connecting “I see dead people” with Bruce Willis being shot at the beginning of “The Sixth Sense.” When movies pull the rug out from under us, it’s one of the greatest thrills that cinema can provide.
As Hollywood continues to reboot countless old properties, it’s easy to think that the days of original and surprising storytelling are long behind us.

M. Night Shyamalan‘s latest, Knock at the Cabin, showcases the director’s ability to build suspense through dynamic camerawork and composition. The home invasion thriller, which sees a vacationing family held hostage and forced to make an unthinkable choice, eventually gives way to a contemporary biblical tale.
Shyamalan immediately hits the ground running in his latest movie, wasting no time and cutting straight to the suspense-driven home invasion. He makes the single cabin location visually interesting, injecting taut tension and terror, something common among his genre films.
No matter the story or its tone, Shyamalan can wring potent chills from just about any scenario. To prove it, we’re looking back at five of the scariest moments from Shyamalan movies.

(Welcome to Tales from the Box Office, our column that examines box office miracles, disasters, and everything in between, as well as what we can learn from them.)
M. Night Shyamalan is a name that is downright synonymous with moviegoing. The filmmaker's career began by being shot out of a cannon, with his studio feature directorial debut, 1999's "The Sixth Sense," becoming an absolute sensation that set sky-high expectations for him. Some even called him the next Steven Spielberg. No pressure!
That's not exactly how things panned out. While Shyamalan did have several other hits with "Unbreakable" and "Signs," even by 2004's "The Village," the whole "where's the twist?" thing had started to catch up to him. The burden of audience expectations was, fair or not, being placed heavily upon his shoulders.

Many attribute "Split" to being M. Night Shyamalan's big mainstream comeback after a widely-publicized string of flops, and it's no surprise that the 2016 thriller is given this distinction — it was a box office and critical success, and it was revealed to be a stealth sequel to one of the director's best films. However, the success of "Split" likely would not have been possible without "The Visit," a low-budget horror thriller released the previous year that also was critically and commercially successful. Shot entirely through a found-footage presentation, it followed the exploits of two siblings (Olivia DeJonge and Ed Oxenbould) as they try to figure out what is wrong with their grandparents (Deanna Dunagan and Peter McRobbie) during a five-day vacation.
According to an interview Shyamalan did with MovieWeb back in 2015, "The Visit" had a few different cuts that focused on different elements of the movie. One was a strictly horror-focused cut,...

Spoiler Alert: The following story contains details from the season finale of CBS and MGM Television’s Clarice.
On Thursday, Clarice came to the end of its first (and likely final) season, presenting resolution in the case of the Anacostia River murders, as well as signs of personal growth on the part of the titular FBI agent, and a couple of major deaths.
By the time finale, “Family Is Freedom” kicks off, ViCap has uncovered most of the dark secrets of Alastar Pharmaceuticals and its emotionally disturbed CEO, Nils Hagen (Peter McRobbie). Putting her career on the line to aid them in their investigation is Clarice’s fellow agent and best friend, Ardelia (Devyn A. Tyler), who is told by her boss to stay out of the matter, but refuses to do so.
While it’s clear by the beginning of Episode 13 that Hagen is behind the aforementioned murders, one...

Clarice Episode 13
Clarice, episode 13, “Family is Freedom,” only closes some of the cliffhangers “Father Time” ended on. We still don’t know whether Clarice Starling (Rebecca Breeds) will be reinstated into the ViCAP team, and we never find out what happened to young Clarice when her Sheriff father left her at the mercy of some pissed off criminals.
The last image we saw of that encounter, when Clarice ran it through her repressed memory bank, was a young Clarice with a gun held to her head as her father hangs his head in shame in the distance. The men who said they were cheated, and called Clarice’s dad a criminal and a coward, warned him he couldn’t hide behind his little girl. We never learn how that scenario plays out. How does she live through that incident to become the wild card federal cop she is today?...

Clarice Episode 12
In Clarice episode 12, “Father Time,” Agent Clarice Starling (Rebecca Breeds) finally loses her shit and clocks someone, and the series is better off for it. The young agent who rose to the top of a media circus on her first serial killer case has been scrutinized, chastised, hypnotized, and downsized since returning to the field. She’s had to run amok straight into danger just to get a point across which will solve cases. Tonight, Clarice lashes out at everyone, packs her boxes, and runs until her legs give out. It provides the most satisfying episode the series has given so far.
Starling has even had enough of her chosen, as opposed to assigned, therapist. Dr. Renee Li (Grace Lynn Kung), is the very definition of calming. Just a few words from her mouth usually silence the lambs in Clarice’s head. But...

Clarice Episode 11
Clarice, episode 11, “Achilles Heel,” could almost be called the “I-told-you-so” episode. After half a season of knocking down Agent Clarice Starling (Rebecca Breeds) as a rogue, unreliable, dangerous or mentally unbalanced cop, almost every character who got screen time this season gets to say their version of “we should have listened to Clarice.” This bodes well for the investigation, but also for the psyches of her closest acquaintances.
In the last episode, Clarice decided Catherine Martin (Marnee Carpenter) had to face some consequences for her actions. The surviving victim of the serial killer Buffalo Bill took his mother hostage, not entirely intentionally, but functionally enough to warrant observation. Catherine’s mother, the Attorney General Ruth Martin (Jayne Atkinson), is incensed over the idea her daughter is being victimized by the system, especially since she gave strict orders to the agent she forced to go rogue,...

"You're a time bomb. Ever since the day you were born." LevelFILM has released the first official trailer for a gritty crime thriller titled Juggernaut, the feature directorial debut of Australian filmmaker Daniel Dimarco. This play at a few smaller festivals last year, but has mostly gone under the radar until now. Juggernaut stars Jack Kesy (seen Baywatch, 12 Strong, Death Wish) as a small town outlaw who returns to his hometown, violently obsessed with the notion that his mother's death was not a suicide. The full cast includes Amanda Crew, David Cubitt, Stephen McHattie, Peter McRobbie, Ty Olsson, and Matty Finochio. This is a damn good trailer, very moody with a few cool shots, I'm quite curious about this now. Here's the first official trailer (+ poster) for Daniel Dimarco's Juggernaut, direct from YouTube: After discovering the news that his mother has taken her life, Saxon Gamble returns home,...

Strangely enough, it may just be… When Becca (Olivia DeJonge) and Tyler (Ed Oxenbould) go to stay at their grandparents house it is fair to say that Nana (Deanna Dunagan) and Pop Pop (Peter McRobbie) are strange.

Caged and waiting to be eaten. Visited by the dead at nightfall. Asked to climb into the oven to clean it. The characters in The Green Inferno, Sinister 2, and The Visit are faced with horror of many forms, and while their scary situations are vastly different from one another, all of their stories can now be experienced on Blu-ray.
The Green Inferno: Hopeful for change, the student activists travel to the Amazon rainforest to save a tribe threatened by deforestation, only to be captured by the natives and placed on the menu. In The Green Inferno, Eli Roth exposes viewers to a palpable sense of primal fear, realistically placing his young cast of well-meaning characters in a horrifying “what if?” situation made all the more real by the filming location: a village deep in the jungles of Peru.
Although Roth’s unique brand of humor takes precedence over...

[major spoilers for The Visit; spoiler-free review here]
You know what would have been a surprising twist for M. Night Shyamalan’s latest film, The Visit? If it didn’t have a twist. But Shyamalan seems constitutionally incapable of making a movie that doesn’t want to surprise us with a twist. This is the twist of The Visit: about three-quarters of the way through the film, teen Becca (Olivia DeJonge) and her preteen brother, Tyler, (Ed Oxenbould) discover that the grandparents they are visiting, Nana (Deanna Dunagan) and Pop Pop (Peter McRobbie), aren’t really their grandparents. Nana and Pop Pop are escaped mental patients who murdered their real grandparents and have taken over their lives. And now Pop Pop is trying to murder Becca and Tyler. Why? Who knows? Except he’s a mental patient, and as we all know, crazy people are violent.
Apparently this is meant to harness our fear of old people,...

Chicago – Director and auteur M. Night Shyamalan has been very spotty in the last nine years. “The Sixth Sense” filmmaker has had less of an impact with “After Earth” and “The Last Airbender,” but scores again with the super weird, creepy and funny “The Visit.”
Rating: 4.0/5.0
Shyamalan has discovered the “found footage” genre (the movie is filmed by the characters) in a satirical way – two teens chronicle their visit for the first time to their grandparents– and does it his way, with crisp cinematography and flipped out images of dread and humor that both freezes and engages the soul. It’s funny to the point of stupidity – and it survives a tremendously unnecessary epilogue. I think M. Night has found a new niche, and will panic less about his reputation and begin to deliver more on his unrealized potential, based on his earlier works. And, with a tremendous boost right...

The film stars: Deanna Dunagan, Ed Oxenbould, Kathryn Hahn, Olivia DeJonge and Peter McRobbie. We've posted blurbs from a few of the critics, below. Clark Collis over at Entertainment Weekly, gave it a decent 75 score, stating: "This is the first Shyamalan movie in a long time that viewers may be tempted to re-visit just to see how he pulls off his magic trick." Sara Stewart from the New York Post, gave it a 75 score, saying: "Like the film itself, it’s simple but well-executed enough." Manohla Dargis from The New York Times, gave it a 70 grade, stating: "The director M. Night Shyamalan...

Listen here, internet. Before we start declaring “M. Night Shyamalan Is Back!” with furious aggression, let’s be honest. Shyamalan may be directing good movies again, but he hasn’t returned to his once genius form. I’m not suggesting that he didn’t make The Visit great; there are no killer trees, water ladies, or Jaden ‘effing Smiths in sight, but is The Visit really The Sixth Sense good? Unbreakable good?
Yet, with that said, I tip my hat towards M. Night because The Visit is equal parts creepy family fun and spooky rural nightmare. In other words, a successfully thrilling night at the movies! Again, the phrase “return to form” may be a little much when praising Shyamalan’s latest twisted accomplishment, but there’s still a victory to be celebrated here, and it smells just like Nana’s home cooking.

Over the course of his career, M. Night Shyamalan has shown a deft hand with horror and suspense, a major tone-deafness with interpersonal drama, and a slippery grasp on anything approaching humor. These attributes come out to varying degrees depending on which Shyamalan joint you’re watching, but never has the writer/director thrown himself at a little bit of everything with the perplexing abandon he does in The Visit. Not just a horror-comedy, the film is a sort of horror-comedy-drama from the mind of a man who can’t pick which of those genres to focus on and displays no ability to balance or blend them.
The found-footage film, we’re to understand, is pieced together from video shot by aspiring teenaged filmmaker Rebecca (Olivia DeJonge) during a visit to her grandparents’ house with her younger brother Tyler (Ed Oxenbould). The weeklong stay will be the first time the...

M. Night Shyamalan sure knows what scares us. Dead people who can only be seen by a sad young boy. Mysterious crop circles suggesting something more frightening to come. And now with his latest film The Visit – a shed full of soiled adult diapers! It’s difficult to discuss an M. Night movie without referring to what disasters his last several films have been and the downward path his career has taken, but The Visit is his best movie in years. That’s not saying much, but it might be all the beleaguered director needs right now.
The Visit begins with single mom/Wal-Mart worker (Kathryn Hahn) revealing to her 15-year old daughter Becca (Olivia DeJonge), who’s filming her, that she ran away from home as a teen and has had no communication with her elderly parents since. She wants to go on a cruise with her new boyfriend...

Once again, why does this have to be a first-person narrative? It's not "found footage," because that implies the footage was lost at some point, and that's not the conceit of the film. And yet Blumhouse presents a film that would have worked perfectly well as a regular film with the "I can't stop filming everything" device grafted onto it, and the result is less than it could have been in the most frustrating of ways. One of the things that is most surprising here is that M. Night Shyamalan has apparently given up completely, and is happy to simply be sucking fumes off other people's success now. Seriously… this is where he is at this point? Making one of these omnipresent "boy, I wish someone owned a tripod" horror movies built around a single uninteresting plot point? It has been a tough sixteen years since his breakthrough with "The Sixth Sense,...

Home is Where the Hacker Is: Shyamalan’s Return to Entertaining Cinema
In many ways, The Visit, the latest film from once celebrated M. Night Shyamalan, is praiseworthy considering this follows on the heels of two back-to-back cinematic abominations, The Last Airbender (2010) and After Earth (2013). In a similar vein to his earlier thrillers, the director revisits tight-knit family dynamics marred by domestic dramas and supernatural/sci-fi shadings, resulting in another of his famous ‘twists’ audiences seem to hold out for. Surprisingly, it’s a found footage film, and as many films in the subgenre, falls victim to the obvious artificial editing and a legion of conveniences that tend to distract rather than compel.
Though not quite a return to form, and never quite seizing the mounting dread its narrative tends to suggest, it certainly is Shyamalan’s most entertaining film in well over a decade, and he utilizes a simple scenario to pleasurable effect,...

Olivia DeJonge and Ed Oxenbould play Rebecca and Tyler, who met their maternal grandfather and grandmother for the first time, years after they became estranged from their mother, played by Parks and Recreation and Step Brothers actress Kathryn Hahn. There, they discover a horrifying revelation and things get rather nasty. The movie also stars Deanna Dunagan and Boardwalk Empire and Daredevil actor Peter McRobbie.

Title: The Visit Director: M. Night Shyamalan Starring: Olivia DeJonge, Ed Oxenbould, Deana Dunagan, Peter McRobbie, and Katheryn Hahn The Visit may be better than The Last Airbender, After Earth and Lady in the Water but it is by no means a return to form in the likes of The Sixth Sense, Signs and Unbreakable. The Blumhouse produced horror feature reinvigorates Shyamalan’s sense of suspense in an interesting premise but detracts from it by putting it in the found footage box. When teen siblings Becca (Olivia DeJonge) and Tyler(Ed Oxenbould) encourage their mom (Katheryn Hahn) to go off on a cruise, they embark on a trip to visit her estranged parents.

With films like The Sixth Sense and Signs, M. Night Shyamalan established himself as a filmmaker who relished yanking the rug from beneath the feet of cinemagoers. The Visit, his latest foray into the horror genre, is no exception. Yet a devilishly executed trademark twist is not enough to compensate for the lack of sustained interest and intrigue beforehand.
From the beginning, the film fails to adequately sell a premise that involves a single mother sending her two young children to stay with grandparents she hasn't seen for 15 years after a big falling out. Attempts to suspend disbelief are hampered by the two sprogs constantly talking in a highly self-conscious, cine-literate language that makes it extremely hard to form any kind of emotional connection with them. At one point, Rebecca (Olivia DeJonge) refers to her mother as "a classic narrative character".

The Visit
Written & Directed by M. Night Shyamalan
USA, 2015
M. Night Shyamalan fans, rejoice! His latest feature, The Visit, hints that happier days may lie ahead. This venture, filmed on a modest budget, takes a ton of chances and offers, perhaps, the most unrestrained vision we’ve seen from the divisive artist. Sadly, the awkward tonal shifts between realistic drama and conventional horror never allow The Visit to progress past a curious experiment. But what a bafflingly-curious experiment it is!
Ultimately, as a film critic, you can’t recommend a horror movie that isn’t scary, and The Visit isn’t scary. It’s bat-shit crazy, but it isn’t scary. As you watch the increasingly bizarre events unfold, you aren’t sure if Shyamalan is making a parody of horror films or if he genuinely believes these things are scary. Were it a parody, it would be brilliant, but...

Over the river and through the woods to yet another banal, anticlimactic attempt at storytelling from M. Night Shyamalan. And this time, it’s found-footage. I’m “biast” (pro): nothing
I’m “biast” (con): have no faith in M. Night Shyamalan anymore
(what is this about? see my critic’s minifesto)
I think I’ve figured out the secret of M. Night Shyamalan. His “twist,” if you will. I bet he turns out to be an alien sent to Earth to study humanity. Looking for our weak spots, maybe… except he really doesn’t have even the first clue about us, and his experiments — which have so far taken the shape of movies — mostly go all wrong. He may have imagined, with his flawed understanding of what makes us tick, that The Village and The Happening and (dear god) After Earth were insightful explorations of the human psyche.

The Visit is definitely a horror movie. But the M. Night Shyamalan-directed film is also a comedy. In the movie, Kathryn Hahn plays Loretta, a single mom who sends her two kids (Olivia DeJonge and Ed Oxenbould) to visit with her estranged parents. Turns out grandma (Deanna Dunagan) and grandpa (Peter McRobbie) are very creepy. Not to spoil any big surprises, but the kids are scared for their lives and the story line includes soiled adult diapers. Just when you think you're going to scream, you laugh and vice versa. Hahn first saw the final cut of the film (in theaters Sept. 11) in a screening room with just a few other people. "We were all screaming and laughing by the end of...

While it may not necessarily be a true return to form for the storyteller who brought us such films as The Sixth Sense, Unbreakable, and Signs, there was still a lot that I enjoyed about M. Night Shyamalan’s The Visit. His latest thriller explores the terrors of visiting relatives—especially the elderly—and has an unexpectedly dark comedic twist to it.
The Visit follows youngsters Rebecca (Olivia DeJonge) and Tyler (Ed Oxenbould) as they set out for a visit with their grandparents, Nana (Deanna Dunagan) and Pop Pop (Peter McRobbie). What makes the trip so remarkable for the family is that it is the first time the kids are meeting their grandparents, as their mom (Kathryn Hahn) left home when she was a teenager and hasn’t been in contact with her family ever since. Wanting to capture this monumental occasion forever, Rebecca sets out to create her own documentary about the experience.

M. Night Shyamalan is coming back to cinemas next month, but in a bit of a different form than we're used to from the filmmaker. There's no big budgets, or starry cast, or a big juicy hook—at least one that has been revealed just yet—to snare viewers. It's modestly priced little found footage horror flick "The Visit," and maybe it's just the right size project to put the director back into top form. Read More: M.

During the dog days of Summer, film fans may feel that they’re on an endless Hollywood highway with exits to “sequel city” and “superhero central”. But for those with a quick eye, they can break away from the express lanes and venture down an offshoot rarely used this time of year. Lets call it “art house road”, which also has its share of off ramps. We’ve got the foreign films, the feature documentaries, and the low, low-budget indies. Many of these examples of cinema made their debuts in the film festival circuit. Some are quirky whimsical comedies that often grab a fervent “cult” audience. This is new film is at the opposite end of the spectrum. It’s moody, somber, dark and attempts to comment on humanity, or the lack of such in the world. And occasionally “name” actors will be involved, telling the press that it was...

M.

Check it out below.

The Visit follows the children on a visit to their grandparent’s house in the wilderness where they discover that the house has a weird set of rules — mainly going to bed and staying in your room at 9:30 p.m.
It seems like Shyamalan is back to his old tricks and is hoping a return to horror will help get him back on the map after the failures of The Last Airbender and After Earth. The trailer seems to show that it is more...
