La visite

L'interprétation est en revanche adéquate, avec une mention pour l'étonnante et très expressive Deanna Dunagan, surtout connue pour son travail à la scène.

(...) The Visit place, certes, son réalisateur sur la bonne voie, mais force est d’admettre que le Shyamalan de jadis n’est pas encore de retour parmi nous.

M. Night Shyamalan ends a dry spell with this creepy-grandparents tale.

The movie isn’t without an emotional core, though: It’s Hahn’s mostly absent character, and although she’s called upon to deliver the heavy-handed moral of the story, she manages to make every moment she’s onscreen ring true.

Si The Visit se retrouve à la limite du film d'horreur, on pourra souligner l'effort du réalisateur qui cherche à le transcender.

Avec le rythme lent et délibéré qu'on lui connaît, M. Night Shyamalan parvient bien à faire monter la tension tout au long du film.

Aside from his newfound appreciation for off-kilter humor, Shyamalan and The Visit get leverage from a top-notch cast.

The Visit is a film so bad and uninteresting that it forces you to apologize to any of the other films you've panned this year.

The Visit has a rounded structure and a moral befitting a fairy tale. It’s an obvious movie, but a very decent one.

M. Night Shyamalan returns to thriller filmmaking in the style of low-budget impresario Jason Blum with mixed results.

"The Visit" represents Shyamalan cutting loose, lightening up, reveling in the improvisational behavior of the kids, their jokes, their bickering, their closeness. 

Certainly, this is the first Shyamalan movie in a long time that viewers may be tempted to re-visit just to see how he pulls off his magic trick.
