The Visit is a return-to-form for Shyamalan, and a beautiful love-letter to his audience, fans and foes alike. The film works on a baseline level; it was tense and terrifying, and those elements continue to build and build and build.
The film really excels on some more subtle levels, though, which may be hard to explain without spoiling the film. I was really impressed with how much I liked this. It wasn't enough to erase Shyamalan's horrible track record as of late, but it's a hell of a first step.
8.25/10
