The Visit is a found-footage horror-comedy that marked a "return to form" for director M. Night Shyamalan. Produced on a modest budget by Blumhouse , it follows two siblings—15-year-old Becca and 13-year-old Tyler—who spend a week at their estranged grandparents' remote farmhouse in Pennsylvania while their mother is on a cruise.
: Becca, an aspiring filmmaker, decides to document the trip as a way to help her mother, Loretta, reconcile with her parents, whom she hasn't spoken to in 15 years due to a mysterious falling out.
: During a FaceTime call, Loretta sees her "parents" through the camera and realizes they are total strangers. It is revealed the pair are escaped psychiatric patients who murdered the real grandparents and took their place.
