Universal Pictures and Blumhouse Productions made a splash at CinemaCon yesterday when they delivered the first footage from the new horror thrillerThe Visit. The film marks a return to the genre forM. Night Shyamalan, who later debuted the first official trailer online. And it appears the director, who made a name for himself with the iconic supernatural dramaThe Sixth Sense, the spookyUnbreakableand the terrifyingSigns, is finally redeeming himself for a slew of misfires that include the fantasy failureThe Last Airbenderand the monumental sci-fi bombAfter Earth. A new international trailer forThe Visithas arrived featuring a substantial amount of new footage, and it should help keep the good vibes going forM. Night Shyamalan’s latest effort, which is a decidedly low budget, found footage affair.
The Visittells the terrifying story of a brother and sister who are sent to their grandparents' remote Pennsylvania farm for a weeklong trip. Once the children discover that the elderly couple is involved in something deeply disturbing, they see their chances of getting back home are growing smaller every day. And it’s all because they failed to heed the most important of their grandparent’s rules: Never leave your room after 9:30 pm.
