Really not a single thread about this 2015 film?

I just saw it. I found this one good, and with quite a few scares. Also lots of dark humour in it. I don't think M Night is taking all of this too seriously.

No score in the film, but Paul Cantelon is credited with an Epilogue Theme.

Opinions?

Also, Shyamalan's latest effort, THE SPLIT, released this past weekend, and financed with 9 million of his own money, is a bona fide hit, having already taken over 40 million at the box office.

Atrocious movie, and more than a little offensive when the final reveal comes up.

Which movie are we talking about here? Split or The Visit? I don't remember there being a reveal in The Visit and I haven't seen Split.

The double post strikes again.

I'm speaking of The Visit, which...

...utilizes what is essentially senile dementia as the hook for its would-be thrills, which I find distasteful in the extreme. mad

Ahhhh, I gotcha. I thought they were supposed to be just plain psychotic, hence them having been at a mental health facility. It's no less potentially offensive, but that's what I thought. Then again, the old guy sure was in diapers... It's an awful movie in either case.

I couldn't possibly disagree more with the naysayers here.

THE VISIT is a SUPERB film -- Shyamalan's true return to form. He's playing with genre tropes, but dressing them in his own unique trademarks. Plenty of satire and comedy baked into the -- at times -- quite intense stagings. I absolutely loved it.

I also loved SPLIT, which I saw last week. Except for the overly operatic finale, it's an even more "full" MNS film with loads of yellow, red, balanced stills, recurring geometric figures and slow camera movements. Just a marvel from start to finish, and oncec again cements his return to the stage after the string of studio-produced mess he's done since THE LADY IN THE WATER.
