It was a lively press conference with writer/director M. Night Shyamalan (The Sixth Sense) and producer Jason Blum (Paranormal franchise) about their new project together, The Visit.
The sister and brother duo are fun to watch, they are played by Olivia DeJonge (Becca) and Ed Oxenbould (as younger brother Tyler) who go on a train trip deep into Pennsylvania farm country to meet their maternal grandparents for the first time. The “grandparents” are Deanna Dunagan (Nana) and Peter McRobbie (Pop Pop) who are creepily good. The other supporting actors are Kathryn Hahn (Mom), Jorge Cordova (Miguel) and Benjamin Kanes (Dad). The cinematography by Maryse Alberti (John Leguizamo’s Ghetto Klown) is beautiful to watch and this new Shyamalan film could finally be a long awaited hit.
To my surprise, I found this horror comedy to be quite funny and enjoyable. — A.O.
