Sinopsis & Review The Visit, Teror di Rumah Kakek Nenek

Menghabiskan waktu berlibur di rumah kakek dan nenek seharusnya menjadi pengalaman yang menyenangkan. Namun lain halnya dengan yang dialami oleh kakak beradik dalam film berjudul The Visit ini. 

Pada kunjungan mereka ke rumah kakek dan neneknya, keduanya justru menemukan hal—hal janggal dan cukup menyeramkan yang dilakukan oleh kakek dan neneknya. Seperti apakah kengeriannya? Berikut review dan sinopsis dari film The Visit. 

Sinopsis 

Film The Visit menyajikan visual berupa found footage seorang remaja bernama Becca yang ingin membuat film dokumenter mengenai kunjungannya ke rumah kakek neneknya.

Di awal film, sang ibu, Loretta menceritakan mengenai hubungannya yang tak baik dengan orang tuanya. Di masa muda, Loretta pergi dari rumah orang tuanya karena memilih kawin lari dengan pria pujaannya. 

Namun pernikahannya tidak berlangsung baik. Suaminya meninggalkannya setelah memiliki dua anak, Becca dan Tyler.

Kini setelah 15 tahun berlalu, orang tuanya menghubunginya kembali dan ingin mengajak cucu-cucunya berlibur sepekan agar bisa mengenal kakek dan neneknya. Becca dan Tyler pun antusias dan semangat untuk berangkat ke rumah kakek nenek mereka. 

Becca dan Tyler juga memiliki misi untuk membuat film dokumenter dan mengobati masa lalu sang ibu dengan orang tuanya yang buruk serta membiarkan ibu mereka berkencan dengan kekasihnya saat ini.

Hari senin pagi, Becca dan Tyler berangkat ke kota Masonville. Mereka pun dijemput oleh kakek nenek mereka, Maria dan Frederick yang dipanggil Nana dan Papa. 

Hari pertama, Becca dan Tyler masih belum merasakan hal aneh dan menikmati kunjungan mereka. Nana banyak memasak kue untuk mereka berdua.

Di malam hari, Papa mengatakan bahwa jam malam di rumah itu adalah pukul 21.30. Namun malam itu Becca tidak bisa tidur dan ingin mengambil kue di dapur. Saat menuju dapur, Becca menemukan Nana yang tampak muntah-muntah tak wajar. 

Keesokan harinya, Becca bertanya pada Papa yang menjelaskan jika Nana memang memiliki flu. Becca dan Tyler pun melanjutkan aktivitasnya.

Namun, Papa juga mulai menunjukan gelagat yang aneh, misalnya dengan tiba-tiba memukul orang tak dikenal dan aktivitas mencurigakannya di kandang. Malam harinya, Becca dan Tyler mulai mendengar suara aneh di luar kamar mereka. 

Saat pintu dibuka, mereka melihat Nana yang telanjang dan memukul-mukul dinding. Keesokan harinya, Becca kembali bertanya pada Papa tentang kejadian semalam. Papa menjelaskan jika Nana memiliki gangguan yang disebut sindrom matahari terbenam.

Papa pun menegaskan agar mereka tak perlu keluar kamar setelah pukul 21.30. Sementara itu Tyler menemukan popok penuh kotoran manusia di kandang. 

Semakin hari mereka pun semakin merasa aneh dengan kakek nenek mereka. Meski begitu, Becca tetap berpikir logis dan menganggap jika hal itu hanyalah penyakit yang menimpa para lansia seperti mereka.

Mereka juga hanya bisa melakukan panggilan suara tanpa panggilan video pada ibu mereka karena Nana secara tak sengaja menumpahkan adonan kue ke kamera laptop Becca. 

Jelang malam terakhir, mereka semakin melihat gelagat aneh dari Nana dan Papa sehingga keduanya berinisiatif menyimpan kamera tersembunyi di ruang tamu. Namun saat rekamannya mereka lihat, Nana tertangkap kamera dan mengetahui keberadaan kamera tersebut. Ia lantas membawa pisau ke arah kamar Becca dan Tyler. 

Sabtu pagi, Becca dan Tyler yang ketakutan melakukan panggilan video pada ibunya dan mengatakan hal-hal aneh yang dilakukan oleh Nana dan Papa. Saat Tyler menunjukan wajah kakek dan nenek mereka yang sedang berada di kebun, ibunya kaget dan mengatakan jika kedua orang itu bukanlah kakek dan nenek mereka. 

Sang ibu segera menelpon kepolisian dan berangkat menjemput keduanya. Ia juga menyuruh Becca dan Tyler untuk keluar dari rumah itu. Namun Becca dan Tyler terperangkap karena Nana dan Papa mengajak mereka untuk tetap di dalam rumah.

Di malam hari, kekacauan pun terjadi. Becca mengetahui jika kakek dan neneknya yang asli telah dibunuh di basement rumah itu. 

Sementara  yang mereka panggil Nana dan Papa adalah Mitchell dan Claire, pasien RSJ di tempat kakek dan nenek mereka menjadi sukarelawan.

Becca dan Tyler nyaris terbunuh dengan serangan yang dilakukan Mitchell dan Claire, namun akhirnya mereka berhasil lolos dan keluar dari rumah. Bertepatan dengan itu, sang ibu beserta para polisi sampai dan menyelamatkan keduanya. 

Konsep Visual Found Footage yang Menegangkan 

Sejak film The Visit ini dimulai, kita bisa melihat konsep visual yang cukup unik dari film ini. Film The Visit menggunakan teknik sinematografi dengan konsep found footage , yaitu konsep pengambilan gambar dalam film yang seolah-olah menyajikan gambar dari rekaman kamera amatir seperti kamera ponsel atau kamera keamanan. Konsep ini memang sering digunakan pada film-film horor. 

Pada film ini, konsep found footage dimaksudkan bahwa kita sebagai penonton hanya melihat gambar melalui apa yang direkam oleh kamera Becca dan Tyler. Selain membuat visualnya menjadi unik, konsep found footage yang digunakan ini juga membuat kita merasakan suasana yang lebih menegangkan. 

Konsep ini membuat kita sebagai penonton hanya bisa melihat peristiwa apa yang terjadi sama seperti sudut pandang si karakter utama. Ditambah lagi dengan tidak adanya musik pengiring selain di awal dan akhir film, konsep ini membuat adegan demi adegan seolah kita saksikan secara nyata dan realistis. 

Plot Twist Menarik dan Alur Cerita Tak Tertebak 

The Visit tampaknya menjadi salah satu film horor yang memiliki plot twist terbaik dalam alur ceritanya. Sejak awal, kamu mungkin akan menduga-duga mengenai apa yang salah dengan pasangan kakek dan nenek ini.

Namun plot twist yang diberikan di akhir film nyaris tak tertebak dan membuatmu melongo. Setelah plot twist -nya terkuak, semua kejadian yang terjadi di awal film pun menjadi masuk akal. 

Selain plot twist dan alur cerita yang tak mudah ditebak, sebagai film bergenre horror dan thriller , The Visit, juga berhasil menyajikan vibes film yang mengerikan tanpa harus memberikan terlalu banyak jumpscare atau pun adegan berdarah-darah. Selama durasi film sepanjang 94 menit ini, bahkan tak ada adegan sadis yang diperlihatkan. 

Namun meski tak menyajikan adegan sadis atau jumpscare yang terlalu banyak, vibes misteri ini sudah bisa kamu rasakan sejak awal film bermula. 

Akting Deanna Dunagan Perankan Nenek Gila 

Salah satu aspek yang membuat film The Visit menjadi begitu menarik adalah akting dari para pemainnya.

Namun tampaknya karakter yang paling mencuri perhatian di sepanjang film adalah karakter sang nenek yang diperankan oleh aktris Deanna Dunagan . Aktris Deanna Dunagan mampu menunjukan perubahan karakter sang nenek pada awal dan akhir film. 

Di awal film, impresi yang ditunjukkannya memperlihatkan bahwa ia adalah nenek yang cukup cantik dan sehat serta begitu baik dan perhatian. Namun seiring dengan tanda kegilaan yang ia tunjukan di setiap malam, karakternya pun berubah.

Ekspresinya lebih sering kosong atau pun mengerikan hingga puncaknya ia menjadi sosok nenek yang begitu menyeramkan. 

Itulah review dan sinopsis dari film The Visit, film yang akan menyajikan teror menyeramkan dari pasangan kakek dan nenek lanjut usia. Mari berandai-andai jika kita adalah Becca dan Tyler yang terjebak bersama kakek dan nenek, apa yang akan kamu lakukan saat mengetahui fakta sebenarnya? Yuk kita berimajinasi di kolom komentar!

Movie Reviews

Tv/streaming, collections, great movies, chaz's journal, contributors.

Now streaming on:

M. Night Shyamalan had his heyday almost 20 years ago. He leapt out of the gate with such confidence he became a champion instantly. And then...something went awry. He became embarrassingly self-serious, his films drowning in pretension and strained allegories. His famous twists felt like a director attempting to re-create the triumph of " The Sixth Sense ," where the twist of the film was so successfully withheld from audiences that people went back to see the film again and again. But now, here comes " The Visit ," a film so purely entertaining that you almost forget how scary it is. With all its terror, "The Visit" is an extremely funny film. 

There are too many horror cliches to even list ("gotcha" scares, dark basements, frightened children, mysterious sounds at night, no cellphone reception), but the main cliche is that it is a "found footage" film, a style already wrung dry. But Shyamalan injects adrenaline into it, as well as a frank admission that, yes, it is a cliche, and yes, it is absurd that one would keep filming in moments of such terror, but he uses the main strength of found footage: we are trapped by the perspective of the person holding the camera. Withhold visual information, lull the audience into safety, then turn the camera, and OH MY GOD WHAT IS THAT? 

"The Visit" starts quietly, with Mom ( Kathryn Hahn ) talking to the camera about running away from home when she was 19: her parents disapproved of her boyfriend. She had two kids with this man who recently left them all for someone new. Mom has a brave demeanor, and funny, too, referring to her kids as "brats" but with mama-bear affection. Her parents cut ties with her, but now they have reached out  from their snowy isolated farm and want to know their grandchildren. Mom packs the two kids off on a train for a visit.

Shyamalan breaks up the found footage with still shots of snowy ranks of trees, blazing sunsets, sunrise falling on a stack of logs. There are gigantic blood-red chapter markers: "TUESDAY MORNING", etc. These choices launch us into the overblown operatic horror style while commenting on it at the same time. It ratchets up the dread.

Becca ( Olivia DeJonge ) and Tyler ( Ed Oxenbould ) want to make a film about their mother's lost childhood home, a place they know well from all of her stories. Becca has done her homework about film-making, and instructs her younger brother about "frames" and "mise-en-scène." Tyler, an appealing gregarious kid, keeps stealing the camera to film the inside of his mouth and his improvised raps. Becca sternly reminds him to focus. 

The kids are happy to meet their grandparents. They are worried about the effect their grandparents' rejection had on their mother (similar to Cole's worry about his mother's unfinished business with her own parent in "The Sixth Sense"). Becca uses a fairy-tale word to explain what she wants their film to do — it will be an "elixir" to bring home to Mom. 

Nana ( Deanna Dunagan ), at first glance, is a Grandma out of a storybook, with a grey bun, an apron, and muffins coming out of the oven every hour. Pop Pop ( Peter McRobbie ) is a taciturn farmer who reminds the kids constantly that he and Nana are "old." 

But almost immediately, things get crazy. What is Pop Pop doing out in the barn all the time? Why does Nana ask Becca to clean the oven, insisting that she crawl all the way in ? What are those weird sounds at night from outside their bedroom door? They have a couple of Skype calls with Mom, and she reassures them their grandparents are "weird" but they're also old, and old people are sometimes cranky, sometimes paranoid. 

As the weirdness intensifies, Becca and Tyler's film evolves from an origin-story documentary to a mystery-solving investigation. They sneak the camera into the barn, underneath the house, they place it on a cabinet in the living room overnight, hoping to get a glimpse of what happens downstairs after they go to bed. What they see is more than they (and we) bargained for.

Dunagan and McRobbie play their roles with a melodramatic relish, entering into the fairy-tale world of the film. And the kids are great, funny and distinct. Tyler informs his sister that he wants to stop swearing so much, and instead will say the names of female pop singers. The joke is one that never gets old. He falls, and screams, "Sarah McLachlan!" When terrified, he whispers to himself, " Katy Perry ... " Tyler, filming his sister, asks her why she never looks in the mirror. "Your sweater is on backwards." As he grills her, he zooms in on her, keeping her face off-center, blurry grey-trunked trees filling most of the screen. The blur is the mystery around them. Cinematographer Maryse Alberti creates the illusion that the film is being made by kids, but also avoids the nauseating hand-held stuff that dogs the found-footage style.

When the twist comes, and you knew it was coming because Shyamalan is the director, it legitimately shocks. Maybe not as much as "The Sixth Sense" twist, but it is damn close. (The audience I saw it with gasped and some people screamed in terror.) There are references to " Halloween ", "Psycho" (Nana in a rocking chair seen from behind), and, of course, " Paranormal Activity "; the kids have seen a lot of movies, understand the tropes and try to recreate them themselves. 

"The Visit" represents Shyamalan cutting loose, lightening up, reveling in the improvisational behavior of the kids, their jokes, their bickering, their closeness. Horror is very close to comedy. Screams of terror often dissolve into hysterical laughter, and he uses that emotional dovetail, its tension and catharsis, in almost every scene. The film is ridiculous  on so many levels, the story playing out like the most monstrous version of Hansel & Gretel imaginable, and in that context, "ridiculous" is the highest possible praise.

Review by SilentDawn ★★★★½ 16

The works of M. Night Shyamalan, no matter the quality, are each on a quest of searching mystery and eventual discovery. All of his films are bursting with uneasy traps and elusive secrets, and it is these traits in which Shyamalan's fame was built upon. To say he had a dry spell is a massive understatement, but as soon as The Visit flares up with its opening shot, a startling vision immediately makes its presence known.

I felt like I was home again.

The Visit , while advertised as a silly and creepy chiller, is more of an insane boiling pot of family turmoil and batshit antics. It's a bewildering mix of humor, horror, and heart-wrenching dramatic impact, and each…

Review by Josh Lewis ★★★★ 4

"Old people sometimes have troubles with their body" "People leave. They find something better."

Doesn't quite have the scope of his early work but probably the most vital found footage filmmaking has felt in... ever? Shyamalan's visual grace & intelligence blends really well with the cheap, modern ageism Hansel & Gretal exploitation movie he's making here and he very effectively uses the immediacy inherent to the form to sneak real sudden thrills into some of his usual themes of familial breakdown/estrangement and masking/physically overcoming emotional trauma. There are a number of very creepily conceived shocks but weirdly enough the film is much more emotionally clear & cathartic than it is scary by the end. It totally works though so I have trouble seeing this as a bad thing.

Review by Gonzo ★★★½ 47

▶ 2015 Movie Rankings

▶ RANKED: M. Night Shyamalan

Is it better than Mad Max: Fury Road ? Even a (very welcome and long-awaited) Shyamalan resurgence can't top the chrome juggernaut.

Wait, wait, wait, hold up, hold up... Shyamalan made a good movie?! M. Night Shyamalan? What?! Yes, people, believe it. Your favorite punching bag is back with a vengeance. It's not as great as The Sixth Sense or Unbreakable , but it's a step in the right direction.

Is there a twist? It's Shyamalan. Of course, there's a twist.

Is the twist predictable? I saw it coming from the get-go. It's a pretty good twist though. It's the sort that doesn't ruin the fun even if you do guess it early…

Review by Neil Bahadur ★★★★½ 11

Unbelievable. Probably my 2nd favourite Shyamalan...one of the great films where everything you thought was right turns out to be wrong, and certainly the scariest film Shyamalan has made. There is explosive digital formalism, cameras seem to be attached to bodies and in moments of intense, quick movement the frame is obscured by flinging hair and occasional ruptures in the image of a human face; abstractions which could be only captured by the size of consumer grade cameras. In a way, it's inspiring because of that.

But much of this movie's terror comes from the opposite of Shyamalan's earlier tendencies, that we should believe in ghosts and demons ala Dreyer or Tourneur. Rather, people are terrifying, and even worse, family.…

Critic Reviews for The Visit

Audience reviews for the visit.

Super creepy. Nice twist at the end.

A disturbing and creepy premise. It'll keep you watching until the very end!

The Visit was a not Shyamalan's greatest work but it worked in its low budget way. The acting was horrendous and the plot was predictable, though the camerawork was at least steady to not make it so shaky.

Risible "return to form" (it's not), featuring two INCREDIBLY irritating performances/characters at the centre. The found footage/documentary style grates and is noticeable only for its complete lack of style, the attempts at comedy are woeful and there is no suspense or shocks. The "twist", supposedly hiding in plain sight, is exactly what one supposes it might be from the first 10 minutes.

What is the story of The Visit?

The Visit is about two kids visiting their grandparents for the first time. They are also going there to hope and rebuild a bridge between their mom and grandparents and help their mom heal after a painful divorce. The movie is in documentary form.

The Visit is one of the most unnerving and realistic horror stories. A good thing about classic horror movies is that, after the movie ends, you can switch it off and go to bed,  knowing that you’re safe . Vampires, ghosts, and demonic powers don’t exist, and even if you are prone to these kinds of esoteric beliefs, there are safeguards. If your home is not built in an Indian burial ground and you haven’t bought any creepy-looking dolls from your local antiquary, you’re perfectly safe.

However, what about the idea of two kids spending five days with two escaped psychiatric ward patients in a remote farmhouse? Now, this is a thought that will send shivers down your spine. It’s a story that sounds not just realistic but real. It’s  something that might have happened in the past  or might happen in the future.

This is  what  The Visit  is all about . This idea, coupled with documentary-form storytelling, is why the movie is so unnerving to watch.

The Visit: Plot Explained

Loretta’s past.

As a young girl, Loretta Jamison fell in love with her high school teacher and decided to skip her hometown with him. Before leaving, she had a heated altercation with her parents and hasn’t seen them since. At the movie’s start, she is a single mom of 15-year-old Becca and 14-year-old Tyler, and she  hasn’t spoken to her parents in 15 years .

What really happened on the day Loretta left?

Loretta’s mom tries to stop her from leaving the house, and Loretta hits her mom, and her dad hits her. Soon after, her parents try to reach out to Loretta, but she refuses to take their calls, and years go by.

Meet The Grandparents

Years later, Loretta’s parents reach out to  meet their grandchildren . The grandparents are, seemingly, wholly reformed and now even help at the local psychiatric hospital. Although initially not too fond of the idea, Loretta is persuaded by the insistence of her children. While she had no intention of visiting the parents, she permitted her children to pay their grandparents a five-day visit.

At The Grandparents’

Their first meeting with Nana and Pop Pop starts on the right foot. They start getting to know each other, and other than a simple generational gap, nothing seems too strange. The only thing that seems off is that they are warned  not to leave the room after 9:30 in the evening .

The kids break this rule, and on the first night, they notice  Nana acting erratically , projectile vomiting, scratching wallpaper with her bare hands, and running around the house on all fours. Grandpa appears paranoid and hides his adult diapers in the garden shed, and the situation escalates each day.

The Visit Ending Explained: What happens in the end?

The ending of Visit has the kids finally showing the elderly couple to Loretta. She, completely horrified, states that  those are not her parents . The pair posing as Pop Pop and Nana are escaped psychiatric institution patients who murdered their grandparents and took their places.

The kids survive, kill their captors, and are found alive and well by their mom and the police. Becca kills Nana with a shard from the mirror, thus symbolically overcoming her fear of her reflection. Tyler kills Pop Pop by repeatedly slamming him in the head with a refrigerator door after overcoming his germaphobia and anxiety about freezing.

The Sense Of Dread

The elements of horror in this movie are just  perfectly executed . First of all, the film is shot as a documentary. Becca is an aspiring filmmaker who records the entire trip with her camera. From time to time, we see an interview of all the characters, which just serves as the perfect vessel for characterization.

No Ghouls or Cults

Another thing that evokes dread is  realism . There are no supernatural beings or demonic forces. It’s just two kids alone in a remote farmstead with two creepy, deranged people. Even in the end, when Loretta finds out what’s happening, it takes her hours to get there with the police. The scariest part is that it’s not that hard to imagine something along those lines really happening.

The  house itself is dread-inducing . The place is old and rustic. Like in The Black Phone soundproofing a room  could have prevented kids from hearing Nana rummaging around the house without a clear idea of what was happening, but this was not the case, as the old couple weren’t that capable.

The  characters  themselves  are perfectly played . Something is unnerving about Pop Pop and Nana from the very first scene. It’s the Uncanny Valley scenario where you feel that something’s off and shakes you to the core, but you have no idea what it is.

Separation, Remorse, and Personal Fears

What this movie does the best is explore the  ugly side of separation, old grudges, and remorse . The main reason why kids are insistent on visiting their grandparents is out of their desire to help their mom.

They see she’s remorseful for never  working things out with her parents . In light of her failed marriage and the affair that caused it to end, she might live with the doubt that her parents were right all along. This makes her decision and altercation with her parents even worse. Reconciling when you know you were wrong is harder than forgiving the person who wronged you.

The Kids’ Perspective

There are personal fears and  traumas of the kids . Tyler, in his childish naivete, is convinced that his father left because he was disappointed in him as a son. Tyler tells Becca that he froze during one game he played, which disappointed his dad so much that he had to leave. While this sounds ridiculous to any adult (and even Becca), it’s a matter of fact to Tyler. As a result of this trauma, Tyler also developed germaphobia. In Becca’s own words, this gives him a greater sense of control.

On the other hand,  Becca refuses to look at herself in the mirror  or stand in front of the camera if she can help it. Both kids  had to overcome their fears to survive , which is a solid and clear metaphor for how these things sometimes turn out in real life.

Frequently Asked Questions Answered

The visit: what’s wrong with the grandparents who are the grandparents.

The people who hosted Becca and Tyler were runaway psychiatric hospital patients who murdered the real grandparents and took their place. Nana’s impostor (Claire) was actually responsible for murdering her children by drowning them in a well. Pop Pop’s impostor (Mitchell) wanted to give Claire a second chance at having kids / being a grandparent.

How did the imposter grandparents know about the kids’ visit?

It appears Claire and Mitchell hear the real Nana and Pop Pop brag about their grandkids’ visit. They also learned that neither the grandparents nor the kids had seen each other. The real grandparents appear to have been consulting in the same hospital Claire and Mitchell were being treated. The two crazies take this opportunity to break out, kill the real grandparents and go to the station to pick up the children.

The Visit: What is Sinmorfitellia?

Claire and Mitchell believe that Sinmorfitellia is an alien planet, and the creatures from there lurk on Earth. They spit into the waters of wells and ponds all day, which can put people into a deep sleep. They take  sleeping with the fishes  quite literally. Long ago, Claire drowned her children believing they would go to Sinmorfitellia.

The Visit: What happened to the real grandparents?

Claire and Mitchel killed Nana and Pop Pop and put them in the basement. This information went unnoticed because Becca’s laptop’s camera was damaged by Nana, so Loretta could not confirm the imposters. Claire and Mitchel were not present every time someone came to visit, so no one suspected foul play except Stacey, who received help from the real grandparents. As a result, she is killed.

What did Claire and Mitchel intend to do?

They plan to go to Sinmorfitellia with Becca and Tyler. They all plan to die on that last night and enter the well, which they believe is their path to the alien planet where they can be happy together. This is perhaps why the grandparents hang Stacey outside the house because they don’t care about being caught.

The Visit: What’s wrong with Nana?

We don’t know what caused Nana’s mental illness, but she was crazy enough to kill her two children by putting them in suitcases and drowning them in a pond. It appears she suffers from schizophrenia as she has delusions.

The Visit: Wrap Up

From the standpoint of horror, The Visit has it all. An unnerving realistic scenario, real-life trauma, and an atmosphere of fear. Combine this with  some of the best acting work in the genre  and a documentary-style movie, and you’ve got yourself a real masterpiece.

On the downside, the movie leaves you with a lot of open questions like:

• Considering the kids have never seen the grandparents and are going alone, Loretta didn’t ensure her kids knew what her parents looked like?
• How are Claire and Mitchell out and about so close to the hospital without being caught?
• Considering they are mentally ill, how did Claire and Mitchell plot such a thorough plan? (e.g. strategically damaging the camera of the laptop)
• I understand  Suspension Of Disbelief  in horror films, but neither kids drop their cameras despite the terror they go through only so we, the audience, can get the entire narrative?

The Ending Of The Visit Explained

Contains spoilers for  The Visit

M. Night Shyamalan is notorious for using dramatic twists towards the endings of his films, some of which are pulled off perfectly and add an extra layer of depth to a sprawling story (hello, Split ). Some of the director's other offerings simply keep the audience on their toes rather than having any extra subtext or hidden meaning. Shyamalan's 2015 found-footage horror-comedy  The Visit , which he wrote and directed, definitely fits in the latter category, aiming for style over substance.

The Visit follows 15-year-old Becca Jamison (Olivia DeJonge) and her 13-year-old brother Tyler (Ed Oxenbould) when they spend the week with their mother's estranged parents, who live in another town. Loretta (played by WandaVision 's Kathryn Hahn ) never explained to her children why she separated herself away from her parents, but clearly hopes the weekend could help bring the family back together.

Although The Visit occasionally toys with themes of abandonment and fear of the unknown, it wasn't particularly well-received by critics on its initial release, as many struggled with its bizarre comedic tone in the found-footage style. So, after Tyler and his camera record a number of disturbing occurrences like Nana (Deanna Dunagan) projectile-vomiting in the middle of the night and discovering "Pop Pop"'s (Peter McRobbie) mountain of used diapers, it soon becomes clear that something isn't right with the grandparents.

Here's the ending of  The Visit  explained.

The Visit's twist plays on expectations

Because Shyamalan sets up the idea of the separation between Loretta and her parents very early on — and doesn't show their faces before Becca and Tyler meet them — the film automatically creates a false sense of security. Even more so since the found-footage style restricts the use of typical exposition methods like flashbacks or other scenes which would indicate that Nana and Pop Pop aren't who they say they are. Audiences have no reason to expect that they're actually two escapees from a local psychiatric facility.

The pieces all come together once Becca discovers her  real grandparents' corpses in the basement, along with some uniforms from the psychiatric hospital. It confirms "Nana" and "Pop-Pop" escaped from the institution and murdered the Jamisons because they were a similar age, making it easy to hide their whereabouts from the authorities. And they would've gotten away with it too, if it weren't for those meddling kids.)

However, after a video call from Loretta reveals that the pair aren't her parents, the children are forced to keep up appearances — but the unhinged duo start to taunt the siblings. Tyler in particular is forced to face his fear of germs as "Pop Pop" wipes dirty diapers in his face. The germophobia is something Shyamalan threads through Tyler's character throughout The Visit,  and the encounter with "Pop Pop" is a basic attempt of showing he's gone through some kind of trial-by-fire to get over his fears.

But the Jamison kids don't take things lying down: They fight back in vicious fashion — a subversion of yet another expectation that young teens might would wait for adults or law enforcement officers to arrive before doing away with their tormentors.

Its real message is about reconciliation

By the time Becca stabs "Nana" to death and Tyler has repeatedly slammed "Pop-Pop"'s head with the refrigerator door, their mother and the police do arrive to pick up the pieces. In a last-ditch attempt at adding an emotional undertone, Shyamalan reveals Loretta left home after a huge argument with her parents. She hit her mother, and her father hit her in return. But Loretta explains that reconciliation was always on the table if she had stopped being so stubborn and just reached out. One could take a domino-effect perspective and even say that Loretta's stubbornness about not reconnecting and her sustained distance from her parents put them in exactly the vulnerable position they needed to be for "Nana" and "Pop-Pop" to murder them. 

Loretta's confession actually mirrors something "Pop-Pop" told Tyler (before his run-in with the refrigerator door): that he and "Nana" wanted to spend one week as a normal family before dying. They should've thought about that before murdering a pair of innocent grandparents, but here we are. 

So, is The Visit  trying to say that if we don't keep our families together, they'll be replaced by imposters and terrify our children? Well, probably not. The Visit tries to deliver a message about breaking away from old habits, working through your fears, and stop being so stubborn over arguments that don't have any consequences in the long-run. Whether it actually sticks the landing on all of those points is still up for debate.

Sinopsis Film The Visit

Mengutip IMDb, film ini dimulai dengan Rebecca 'Becca' (Olivia DeJonge) yang berusia 15 tahun mewawancarai ibunya, Paula (Kathryn Hahn) untuk sebuah film dokumenter yang dia buat tentang bertemu kakek-neneknya untuk pertama kalinya.

Paula menjelaskan bahwa sebagai seorang remaja, dia jatuh cinta dengan guru penggantinya, dan orang tuanya tidak menyetujuinya.

Sesuatu terjadi ketika dia berusia 19 tahun yang menyebabkan dia tidak ingin melihat orang tuanya lagi, selama 15 tahun terakhir.

Dia menunjukkan bahwa suaminya akhirnya jatuh cinta dengan wanita lain yang dia temui di Starbucks, dan pindah ke Palo Alto.

Becca memintanya untuk kembali dan menjelaskan apa yang sebenarnya terjadi yang menyebabkan bertahun-tahun tidak berkomunikasi, dan ibunya mengatakan kepadanya bahwa dia tidak akan memberitahunya; jika kakek-neneknya ingin memberikan informasi itu, terserah mereka.

Dia mengatakan kepada mereka meskipun dia tidak berbicara dengan mereka selama bertahun-tahun

Karena belum pernah bertemu kakek-nenek, para remaja berniat merekam film dokumenter tentang kunjungan mereka menggunakan camcorder.

Becca dan Tyler bertemu kakek-nenek mereka, yang disebut sebagai "Nana" dan "Pop Pop", di stasiun kereta.

Ketika mereka tiba di rumah pertanian mereka yang terisolasi, Becca dan Tyler diinstruksikan untuk tidak pernah pergi ke ruang bawah tanah karena mengandung jamur, dan waktu tidur adalah pukul 9:30 setiap malam, setelah itu mereka tidak boleh meninggalkan kamar mereka.

Malam pertama, satu jam lewat jam malam, Becca turun ke bawah untuk makan dan melihat Nana muntah di seluruh rumah, yang membuatnya takut.

The Visit revolves around Claire Zachanassian, a wealthy woman who returns to her impoverished hometown of Brachen, Switzerland. The town is in desperate need of financial assistance, and Claire offers to provide a substantial sum if the townspeople fulfill a dark request revolving a man who once wronged her. As the townspeople grapple with the moral dilemma, The Visit becomes a haunting exploration of greed, revenge, and the consequences of choices.

Everything you need for every book you read..

The Visit tells the story of a woman returning to her hometown after forty-five years to exact revenge on the man that betrayed her—or, as she puts it, to “buy justice.”

The play opens on a gaggle of unemployed townsmen who sit at a railway station in the fictional Swiss town of Güllen, awaiting the arrival of the famed billionairess Claire Zachanassian . They bemoan the deterioration of their home; Güllen was once a renowned cultural capital but has since fallen into a deep and devastating economic depression. Its impoverished citizens nevertheless hold out hope for their township—hope that Ms. Zachanassian, who was born and raised in Güllen, might endow the town’s restoration. Alfred Ill , Güllen’s “most popular man” and mayor-to-be, is leading a campaign to secure Claire’s donation; he was once her lover, and he expects that he should be able to leverage his relationship to her to get to her millions.

Claire arrives in Güllen several hours earlier than expected, throwing the townspeople into nervous disarray. While she and her entourage get off of the train, the Gülleners scramble to pull together the formal welcome they planned for her, frantically convening the choir and changing into their frock coats and top hats. Ill is the first to welcome the billionairess, bringing the two face-to-face for the first time in forty-five years. Ill showers Claire with compliments, hoping to loosen her purse strings with appeals to her vanity, but this fails. Claire bluntly states that she and Ill are old and fat now, and she proceeds to show him her many prosthetic limbs. She also takes a moment to introduce her Butler, Boby ; her henchmen, Roby and Toby ; her seventh husband, Moby ; and the blind eunuchs Koby and Loby . She explains that she gave her attendants rhyming names to suit her own preferences. Claire’s strange retinue, her disarming directness, and her outlandish luggage—which includes a caged panther and a coffin, among other things—unnerves some Gülleners, particularly the Teacher . Nevertheless, all are hopeful about her visit.

While her luggage is moved to her accommodations at the Golden Apostle Inn, Claire revisits her old trysting haunts with Ill. The two reminisce about their young love affair, which ended when Ill left Claire for the then-wealthier Matilda Blumhard , owner of Güllen’s general store. Claire fell into prostitution after Ill abandoned her, and thus met the wealthy john that became her first husband (the oil magnate Zachassian).

Following their walk in the woods, Claire and Ill return to the Golden Apostle, where a banquet is being held in Claire’s honor. The Mayor makes a speech lionizing the billionairess in an obvious grab for money. Claire is unmoved by the insincere speech, but she nevertheless pledges one billion dollars to the town. She has only one condition: that someone kill Alfred Ill. This, of course, catches Ill off guard—until this point, he thought that he had the billionairess eating out the palm of his hand. Furious, he dismisses Claire, but her Butler steps forward to explain. Forty-five years ago, before he was in Claire’s service, the Butler was Güllen’s Chief Justice and he heard a paternity case that a young Claire had brought against Ill. Ill falsely denied that he was the father of Claire’s child, and he bribed two witnesses to corroborate his claim, thus losing Claire the trial and causing her exile from Güllen and her lapse into prostitution. The perjuring witnesses were none other than Koby and Loby, whom Claire tracked down years later and had blinded and castrated. Her campaign of revenge continues now in Güllen with Ill as her target: she only wants “justice,” she says, and now she can afford it. Claire’s murderous proposal takes the Gülleners aback. Citing the town’s commitment to a rich humanistic tradition that values human life over capital, the Mayor emphatically rejects Claire’s offer on behalf of his constituents. Claire simply replies that she will wait for them to change their minds.

In the days following the dramatic banquet, Ill sees Claire’s henchmen regularly changing the wreaths on the empty coffin Claire brought with her to Güllen, presumably for Ill. He also sees an increase in business at the general store he manages; his customers have started buying previously unattainable luxury items on credit. When Ill notices his customers all wearing the same new and expensive yellow shoes , he begins to suspect his neighbors of considering Claire’s proposal—of buying goods in advance of her billion dollar donation (a prerequisite for which is Ill’s death).

A paranoid Ill visits Güllen’s authorities one by one—the Policeman, the Mayor, the Priest—seeking protection, but he finds that they too have begun to live above their means. Though the Gülleners insist that they will not consider Claire’s offer, their increase in spending indicates that they do anticipate Claire’s donation (and, by extension, Ill’s death). Understanding this, Ill attempts to flee town on the train, but he is intimidated into staying by the mob of townspeople that crowd around him at the station. Meanwhile, Claire observes the town from her balcony at the Golden Apostle as a mob of Gülleners hunt down her escaped black panther .

At the start of the play’s final act, Claire has just married her eighth husband, but is already preparing for divorce. In the midst of managing her marital business, she is visited by the Doctor and Teacher. They inform her that the townspeople have drawn up exorbitant debts, and that the town needs her help more than ever, but that no one is willing to kill Ill. They propose an alternative to Claire’s offer, suggesting that Claire invest in Güllen’s industry, which would not only reintroduce paying jobs in town, but would also produce returns for Claire. Much to their consternation, Claire reveals that she already owns the town’s industry. She intentionally ran it into the ground to cause Güllen’s financial collapse and lay the groundwork for her revenge on Ill.

Meanwhile at the general store, Ill’s wife’s customers have taken to openly denigrating Ill and sympathizing with Claire, marking a major shift in public opinion since the Gülleners defended Ill and rejected the billionairess’ offer. When journalists enter the shop asking questions about Claire and Ill’s relationship, the townspeople offer platitudes about young love and nostalgia, but keep mum on the issue of Claire’s ultimatum. The Teacher, drunk and full of guilt, almost breaks the silence, but is kept in check by his fellow citizens until the journalists leave.

After days of keeping to himself above his shop, Ill suddenly reappears. He seeks out the Teacher who, still drunk, admits that the town cannot resist the temptation of Claire’s money. When the Mayor stops by the shop to advertise a public meeting about Claire’s offer, Ill promises to defer to the town’s verdict. The Mayor indirectly advises Ill to kill himself (and save someone else the trouble), but Ill refuses, demanding that the people of Güllen take responsibility for their choices and kill him themselves.

Faced with what seems to be an inevitable early death, Ill spends his last few hours driving with his family and reconciling with Claire in the woods. Claire admits that she never stopped loving Ill, but that years of bitter resentment turned her love into something evil. When Ill is dead, Claire says, she will finally possess him as she’d always wanted to. The couple parts, and Ill heads to his “trial.” The public meeting is well attended by the townspeople and by journalists reporting on Claire’s visit. The Mayor, who moderates the meeting, takes pains not to alert the press to Claire’s deadly ultimatum; he leads Güllen in a vote “to make justice a reality.” The townspeople unanimously vote to accept Claire’s money, and thus sentence Ill to death without saying so. They murder Ill while the journalists are at dinner and inform the press that Ill died from joy when Claire’s endowment was accepted. Later, Claire collects the body and delivers a check to the Mayor. As she leaves Güllen with her former lover’s body, the citizens of Güllen revel in their newfound prosperity.

Taiwan's Vice President-Elect Makes Czech Visit, Angering China

TAIPEI (Reuters) -Taiwan's vice president-elect and former de facto ambassador to Washington, Hsiao Bi-khim, is on a visit to the Czech Republic following a low-key trip to the United States, the foreign ministry said on Tuesday, triggering anger from China.

Hsiao, who takes office with president-elect Lai Ching-te in May, is detested by China which calls her a "diehard Taiwan independence separatist" and has placed sanctions on her.

China claims democratically governed Taiwan as its own territory, a view the government in Taipei strongly rejects.

Taiwan Foreign Ministry spokesperson Jeff Liu said Hsiao had been invited to the Czech Republic by the Sinopsis think-tank and will speak to them, as well as meet other "friends" in the country to exchange views ahead of her inauguration.

Czech Senate speaker Milos Vystrcil, who visited Taiwan in 2020, on Tuesday posted a picture on his X social media page of him meeting and chatting with Hsiao.

In Beijing, Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Lin Jian said the Czech government should "severely restrain certain (Czech) politicians" and "take effective measures to remove the negative influence of this incident".

Taiwan has no formal diplomatic ties with any European country except the Vatican.

But Central and Eastern European countries have been particularly keen to show support for Taiwan - especially following Russia's attack of Ukraine - defying Beijing's anger about such contacts and lessening Taiwan's international diplomatic isolation.

China expressed anger last week about Hsiao's U.S. trip, on what both Taiwan and the United States termed a private visit.

China calls for czech republic to honor its pledges.

China has urged the Czech Republic to honor its commitment to the one-China policy, and stop harming ties between the two countries, and warned that "Taiwan independence" separatists will be held accountable.

Foreign Ministry spokesman Lin Jian made the remarks on Tuesday, commenting on reports that Hsiao Bi-khim, the Taiwan region's deputy-head-elect, is on a visit to the Czech Republic.

Hsiao had been invited to the country by the think tank Sinopsis, according to Reuters, which said that Czech Senate Speaker Milos Vystrcil posted a picture on Tuesday on his X social media account of him meeting and chatting with Hsiao.

China firmly opposes official interaction of any form between the Taiwan region and countries that have diplomatic relations with China, Lin, the spokesman, said at a regular news conference.

"It's a solemn commitment the Czech government made in multiple official documents, including the joint statements and joint communique between the Chinese and Czech governments, to uphold the one-China policy, respect China's sovereignty and territorial integrity, and recognize that Taiwan is an inalienable part of China," Lin said.

He called on the Czech Republic to honor the commitment, and "strictly restrain certain politicians".

The Czech Republic should "immediately stop the egregious moves" that undermine its national credibility and its relations with China, and take effective measures to undo the negative influence of Hsiao's visit, Lin said.

"Our message to 'Taiwan independence' separatists is that whoever engages in 'Taiwan independence' will be held accountable by history," he added.

Chen Binhua, spokesman for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, urged the Czech Republic on Tuesday to observe the one-China principle, handle the Taiwan question with caution, and avoid sending wrong signals to "Taiwan independence" forces.

Chen also said the attempts of Taiwan's Democratic Progressive Party authorities to make "diplomatic "breakthroughs are not conducive to cross-Strait peace and stability.

In another development, Lin urged the United States to refrain from endorsing the Philippines' illegal claims in the South China Sea.

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken reportedly criticized China's "provocative actions" in the South China Sea, and reaffirmed the US security commitment to the Philippines.

In response, Lin said the US, which is not a party to the South China Sea issue, has no right to interfere in the maritime issues between China and the Philippines.

Military cooperation between the US and the Philippines shouldn't harm China's sovereignty and maritime interests, he said, adding that China will continue to take necessary measures to protect its territorial sovereignty.

• Trivia Actor David Dastmalchian was cast in the lead role and film's central character Jack Delroy after the film's directors read an article by him about regional horror TV hosts which he had written for 'Fangoria' magazine. Co-director Colin Cairnes said in an interview with the film's two directors published in this mag: ''Well, I mean other than sure just recognizing his awesome work and all the films he's been in. But then I opened up 'Fango' one day and read an article by David on regional horror hosts. And reading that, and knowing his work, I just thought, 'this is going to be a really good fit. Obviously, our hero Jack is a TV host, so it felt like there would be some affinity there.''

‘Immaculate’ Review: Sydney Sweeney Delivers a Miraculous Performance in an Unholy and Slightly Uneven Horror Flick

A reteaming of 'The Voyeurs' director Michael Mohan and star Sydney Sweeney offers another lurid delight as a virginal nun becomes pregnant at an Italian monastery.

Ever since resurrecting the erotic thriller with the respectably lurid 2021 drama “The Voyeurs,” it was clear Sydney Sweeney and director Michael Mohan were interested in second comings. So it was only a matter of time before they’d turn their attention to Christ himself in “ Immaculate ,” an enjoyable if uneven horror film cut from a slightly different cloth than its religious brethren with a captivating turn from its star as a virginal nun whose pregnancy inspires questions beyond the health of the child, and a hell of an ending.

Sister Cecilia is appealing for other reasons to the presiding priest, Father Sal Tedeschi (Álvaro Morte). He tries a little too hard to bond with his recent import, confiding that like her he had an unusual path to My Lady of Sorrows, initially studying biology before devoting himself fully to God. Although religion and science usually don’t mix, they become a novel combination for the Molotov cocktail that writer Andrew Lobel has concocted once Sister Cecilia comes down with morning sickness.

“Immaculate” really takes off in its second half — or as the film announces, her second trimester — once doubts grow inside Cecilia along with her belly. Even before Father Sal and his flock are more brazen in their attempts to stop her from leaving the premises with her miracle on the way, she proves herself more resourceful and less timid than they would believe as the film evolves into a taut survival thriller.

After auditioning for the role a decade prior, Sweeney eventually produced “Immaculate” in addition to starring in it. Not only does she have the star power now to get a greenlight for such a project, but the film shows how she can really hold the screen. After dispatching one of her captors, a long take that runs the full gamut of emotions from what she’s done to whether she’s saved herself with her actions with the camera staying on her face is extraordinary, only outdone by a riveting finale where her reactions say it all — and probably spares the film an NC-17 rating.

Benedetta Porcaroli, a standout with her mischievous performance in Carolina Cavalli’s comedy “Amanda,” also makes an impression as Sister Gwen, Sister Cecilia’s only friend at the monastery. She isn’t about to bow down to anyone, and though that’s a lesson that takes time for Sister Cecilia, no small part of the satisfaction of “Immaculate” comes from witnessing someone find faith in herself.

Taiwan's vice president-elect visits Czech Republic

C hina was angered by the visit of Taiwan's Vice President-elect Hsiao Bi-khim to Prague, where she met with the speaker of the Czech Senate.Taiwan's Vice President-elect, Hsiao Bi-khim, is visiting the Czech Republic after a low-key trip to the United States, the foreign ministry said on Tuesday.

Hsiao was invited to the Czech Republic by the Sinopsis think tank and will speak with them and meet other "friends" in the country to exchange views before her inauguration, Taiwan's Foreign Ministry spokesman Jeff Liu said.

Czech Senate President Milos Vystrcil, who visited Taiwan in 2020, posted a picture on X, formerly Twitter, of him meeting and chatting with Hsiao.

Hsiao, who has served as Taiwan's de facto ambassador to the US, will take office with President-elect Lai Ching-te in May.

What was China's reaction?

The visit angered Beijing, which calls her a "die-hard Taiwan independence separatist" and has imposed sanctions on her.

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian said the Czech government should "severely restrain certain (Czech) politicians" and "take effective measures to remove the negative influence of this incident."

Beijing expressed anger last week over Hsiao's US trip, which both Taiwan and the United States said was a private visit.

China claims democratically governed Taiwan as its own territory. This is strongly denied by the government in Taipei.

Who supports Taiwan?

Taiwan has no formal diplomatic relations with any European country other than the Vatican.

But Central and Eastern European countries have been particularly eager to show support for Taiwan, especially after Russia's attack on Ukraine. This is intended to reduce Taiwan's international diplomatic isolation and counter Beijing's anger over such contacts.

In January, Nauru and China agreed to restore bilateral diplomatic relations after Nauru's sudden decision to sever ties with Taiwan. This leaves Taipei with only 12 allies that have official, full diplomatic relations.

The island also has the support of the United States and many other Western countries.
