Universal Pictures has revealed the trailer for writer/director/producer M. Night Shyamalan’s THE VISIT (previously titled GRANDMA’S HOUSE). The studio says Shyamalan “returns to his roots” here, but if you watch the trailer below you can probably agree this looks pretty damn silly. The man shows no signs of returning to his genius days of creating THE SIXTH SENSE and UNBREAKABLE.
THE VISIT follows the “story of a brother and sister who are sent to their grandparents’ remote Pennsylvania farm for a week-long 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 produces THE VISIT through his Blinding Edge Pictures, while Blum produces through his Blumhouse Productions alongside Marc Bienstock (QUARANTINE 2: TERMINAL). Steven Schneider (INSIDIOUS) and Ashwin Rajan (DEVIL) executive produce the thriller.
