The Visit focuses on 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.
Shyamalan shot the film in a particularly covert fashion, and it’s rumored to be closer to spirit of his first few films. It was self-financed and shot in and around his home in Pennsylvania. Shyamalan wanted to get back to his roots and make a film outside the studio system.
The Visit hits theaters on September 11, 2015.
