Seasider Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Have you seen it? Was it as clever as The Village and Signs and The Sixth Sense? I love M Night but I can't take another debacle like The Happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jewellsmommy Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 (edited) Not as clever as Sixth Sense and not as good as Signs, but on-par with the Village. Dh and I enjoyed it. ETA: It can be so hard to recommend movies because everyone's tastes are so different! Disclaimer: I don't think I am as picky about movies as most. As long as there is not gratuitous gore, nudity, or sex, I'm pretty flexible. Edited January 26, 2018 by jewellsmommy 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Word Nerd Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 (edited) The setup/premise is so unbelievable that I couldn’t get past it. And that wasn’t even supposed to be the strange part of the story. I love Signs and The Village and even liked Lady in the Water, but after The Happening (hated it!) and this one. Meh. I’m done with M Night. Edited January 26, 2018 by Word Nerd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mothersweets Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 I liked it more than the Village but not as much as Sixth Sense. I totally did not see the ending coming at all. This one was creepier than his others to me. It wasn't so much scary as it was disturbing, kwim? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaillardia Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 (edited) The Visit sounds like a movie I would not like and I really liked Signs. I'm okay with most of M. Night's movies, had not heard of The Happening! I just watched a trailer about The Happening. It looks like my kind of movie. I "like" disaster movies. I like Mark Wahlberg and Zooey Deschanel. Edited to add: Okay, never mind. Gross. Sounds yucko. And i don't watch R rated movies anyway. Edited January 26, 2018 by Gaillardia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beth S Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Our family members are big M Night fans. They went to see it in the theater. They unanimously told me (almost "forbid" me) NOT to watch it . . . as it is very disturbing. YMMV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seasider Posted January 26, 2018 Author Share Posted January 26, 2018 (edited) Oh well, guess I'll pass on it, thanks for the replies. I saw it at the library and as usual, I am so hopeful when I hear he has a new film out. Hopeful that it will be as good as his first few, scared they'll be lousy. Thanks for saving me a couple of hours (and maybe a lot of bad dreams!). Edited January 26, 2018 by Seasider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Home'scool Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Speaking of M. Night, has anyone seen his movie Devil? It got panned by the critics but my family and I love the movie. Very suspenseful, good twists etc. When M. Night gets it right he does a really good job 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poppy Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 It's not a debacle at all. The guy can make a horror movie, and this is a horror movie. It's not my favorite. When he made this movie, he made two version..... one pure suspense, and one highly comic.. The final version is kind of half and half. To me, it felt a little too ha-ha. The same way Happy Death Day did (though The Visit is a much more skillfully made movie). I liked the way The Village and The Sixth Sense took themselves seriously.

It's a fun movie, I liked it, but I don't think it's his movie. Different writer and director. He was just a story collaborator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's definitely a "return to form". 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrincessMommy Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 I'm another M. Night fan but I do not like horror... so that kept me away from The Visit. I liked Signs very much and recently re-watched it when it came on TV. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freeindeed Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 It was disturbing, but IMO the ending was a letdown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Signs is listed as a thriller, mystery and drama. I'll go with thriller. It is scary but not horrifying. I think of Freddie and the chainsaw thing and Nightmare on Elm Street as horror. Okay, I'm that clueless about Freddy and Elm Street. Please forgive. I just watched a trailer for The Visit and that looks like a horror movie to me.

I think of Freddie and the chainsaw thing and Nightmare on Elm Street as horror. Ah, I think of Signs as a monster movie!! (Spoilers--- but Signs came out so long ago, hopefully I'm safe). With that criteria, I'd say The Visit is a thriller. Evokes feeling of fear, but isn't gore for gore's sake. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DesertBlossom Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 It was disturbing, but IMO the ending was a letdown. I just finished watching this tonight. Alone. In the dark. But this is how I felt about it. Definitely a letdown. And disturbing. Blech. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
