The Visit

Yeah.

What was the, the visit?

the

visits a million times better than this movie oh even that even with that kid

terrible and then what the oh and

then all the while he was servant he was he was doing it from 2019 to 2023 but i don't know if he directed every episode

you know what's funny uh i was just i was popping on a couple videos on youtube about this before i came down while i was reading the the graphic novel and um he paid for all these movies with his own money this i think the visit um all of servant he he made so much money with those first three movies well let's just say what it is with six cents he made so much money with that movie and i i feel that makes a lot of sense he just doesn't give a he just gets a good concept and that guy that reviewer was right man he gets a good concept right

yeah

Horror landscape for 2014 is, you know, Annabelle, it's the purge anarchy, it's Ouija, And then Paranormal Activity, the Mark ones, to your point of a franchise that has now spun off into a much more scripted, you know, style of things, right? Where it's still found footage, but I think I should say less scripted and more sort of streamlined, templatized, right? And it's a how much can you really do with that format this deep in the game? But it's still enough to be a pretty big box office draw, right? And then in 2015, you've got a couple of found footage films as well.

which includes The Visit, which is a highly underrated M.

Night Shyamalan film that I enjoy and is really, really interesting.

Doesn't get enough credit, I think, but there's a twist there.

Have you seen The Visit by chance? Would be would be curious what you thought about it.

But there's a you know, the way that it uses found footage is really interesting of these two kids who go on a visit to their grandparents.

Right.

Yeah, to kind of get ready for this when we first talked about doing the little movie review, it had probably been a while before I actually sat down by myself and watched a movie.

So to kind of get my muscles for watching movies back, I saw The Visit on Prime.

It was pretty good.

It was M.

This text in the 5, 2, 3, 5, 3.

The grandparents from The Visit still has me terrified of most old people.

Have you ever seen the movie The Visit? I've seen it.

I can't

remember.

And so this is a genuinely, like... isolated contained story that is featuring an entirely new community uh demon law i i think we've maybe had some mention of um asmodeus maybe in the first one when they were talking about demons but other than that that's not really the the we ain't been dealing with him for real like throughout and so this feels very separate and in that same vein I would say that the biggest feeling I had throughout this movie is that...

this could have been an like a completely separate horror film like i don't think it necessarily even felt like a paranormal activity movie to me it almost felt more like the visit um in in its nature and in its quality just because i didn't even really feel as though a lot of our scares and a lot of the waking up in the middle of the night and this thing was happening.

Most of it wasn't genuinely paranormal until, like you said, closer to the end where we get a lot more of that demonic activity and there's a lot more happening in that sense.

And a lot of those moments that are the bigger moments sequences, the bigger interactions do feel paranormal activity just in their execution, like Margo being pulled away.

I didn't really feel that way in this one.

And I'm not saying that's a bad thing.

I am just saying that this could have been called The Visit Surviving the Bailers.

And I think that that would have been a totally valid name for this movie as well.
