The Visit is the lastest film by director M. Night Shyamalan, who has a habit for over the top or we can end up finding the movie is a masterpiece of it's own. The Visit was somewhere in between that, however it had a very original plot that made perfect sense. M. Night Shyamalan has proved he still has that great writing that will lead you down his rabbit hole of intense dialougue that builds to a pure terror of things which could happen everyday to anybody. The movie was shot low budget, it was like watching a movie at a film festival while the entire movie is shot at the angle of a documentary. As M. Night Shyamalan has made yet another film in the state of Pennsylvania Our story begins one day with a single mom played by (Kathyrn …show more content…
Night Shyamalan in my theory he is brilliant or so far off topic that it takes time to figure things out. My thoughts on his twist in this movie was original as well as easy. He showed that with low budget scary movies by brilliant directors can be done after a high profile career. The cinematography was not so good, then again these people are isolated living in rural Pennsylvanina. I dig the feel of indepent films, it had a sureal feel above his higher paid films. It gave me a fall back to his classic 'The Village' The scares were real, the plot was strong showing intense scenes involing ovens. However it could of been more excessive in the department of entertainment, I understand the story is suppose to have a feel slow it could of had a few more scares. My own thoughts to M. Night Shyamalan when it comes to directing, is sometimes he focuses on the dialouge a little too much. I could of done less with the humor put into this movie, at some points I found myself a little tired of it. I thought this movie was great, yet I was hoping for brilliant like his past films 'The 6 Sense' and 'Sign's. The performances by Becca and Tyler were solid, they had this movie down having been my favorite chacters during the movie. Kathyrn Hahn's brief appreance was good to watch as she is a versitile actress, who shows both acting comedy as well as thriller can be done. Deanna Dunagan was a tour de force giving her character a very insanse, real terror to the movie. I found her performance to be the absoulte best performance this year. I love older actresses who gave us that absoultly terrifying performance that you will remember. I say go the the theather see ' The Visit' it's worth every cent, if you are a M. Night Shyamalan
One of the main products of this movie that popped out to me was the stars. They all seemed to be great actors even though I only knew one of them. For example, I thought that Ian Michael Smith did a great job portraying Simon Birch. He made the movie cute and funny all at once. I also thought that Joseph Mazello did a great job portraying relatable feelings in the movie. You could tell by his facial expressions what his mood was. All the actors did a great job and I can’t pinpoint one of them who did worse than the
Overall this movie was exciting. It had lots of important information about the Salem Witch Trails. The director of this movie knew exactly who his audience would be and hit it out of the park by adding things that the audience would understand. The writer also had made this appeal to a very special audience. He knew who would most likely see the film and tried to stay true to that.
Stephen Edwin King was born in Portland, Maine in 1947, the second son of Donald and Nellie Ruth Pillsbury King. After his parents separated when Stephen was a toddler, he and his older brother, David, were raised by his mother. Parts of his childhood were spent in Fort Wayne, Indiana, where his father's family was at the time, and in Stratford, Connecticut. When Stephen was eleven, his mother brought her children back to Durham, Maine, for good. Her parents, Guy and Nellie Pillsbury, had become incapacitated with old age, and Ruth King was persuaded by her sisters to take over the physical care of the elderly couple. Other family members provided a small house in Durham and financial support. After Stephen's grandparents passed away, Mrs. King found work in the kitchens of Pineland, a nearby residential facility for the mentally challenged.
Stephen King was born in Maine in 1947. His father abandoned him when he was 2 years old. His mother and brother was all he ever knew. Him and his brother were raised in Fort Wayne, Indiana where his father lived at the time. He was also raised in Connecticut too. His mother decided to move them back to Maine for their own good.

In one particular scene, director was truly a great one, featuring special focus on his dad life and the Colorado River. It was so cool to highlights of the movie by one of his favorite poem written by his dad when he was born, the Important Place. Also, this film was a good length, not excessively long but long enough to tell the story. This is really important today there were no such unwanted scene in the film, which literary the most closely and accurately delivered. In my opinion, this film is forced to possess the characters of a great aspect, and turns to make for quite the adventurous. There was no special character encounter rather than his dad, learned something from the secret Colorado River. Another great aspect of the film was the special footage that were introduce in this film was an enjoyable aspect to be a good documentary film, and that’s how this film is different from the rest.
The cast of the movie was sensational. Playing the main character was famous musician and actor, Ice Cube. He is such a serious person that at first I was skeptical of his performance in a comedy. He has played in such movies as Dangerous Ground, Higher Learning, and Boyz 'N Tha Hood. Playing opposite of him was Chris Tucker who is one of the most gifted performers that I've have seen. He has stared in hits such as Rush Hour, The Fifth Element, and Money Talks. These two along with other big comics like Bernie Mac, John Whitherspoon, and Fazion Love bring big laughs to the big screen. Tiny "Zeus" Lester, Nia Long and Regina King do there part as well, to serve up laughs. It is so important to have a good cast that can play their parts well, and get along. If I watch a movie and it is evident that the actors are acting, then I lose interest very quickly. These actors and actresses did a very good job of making every character believable.
Stephen King is known by many as a successful author, but every author is only as good as his or her works. King has produced various types of works such as short stories, novels, novellas, screenplays, and comics. His work has been the “most important bridge between the horror genre and literary respectability from the late 1960s and 1970s up to the present time” (Hoppenstand 3). Stephen Edwin King was born September 21, 1947 in Portland, Maine. He is the second son of Donald Edwin and Nellie Ruth King. When King was two years old, his father, a captain in the merchant marines, went out to buy a pack of cigarettes and never returned. Nellie, King’s mother, raised King and his adopted older brother David. The family under the care of Nellie experienced many hardships and moved often as she looked for work. The family lived in Maine, Massachusetts, Illinois, Wisconsin, and Indiana. When King was six years old, the family finally settled in Stratford, Connecticut (Hoppenstand 8; Stephen King).
From intense car chases, to nonstop action from start to finish, this film really took Singleton to another level as far as his directing pedigree. It was such a 180 from his previous works that this movie actually surprised me to the full effect. From the action in the movie, it reminded me of a Michael Bay film to be honest.
was a spectacular film there were some things that I did not enjoy like, the
M. Night Shyamalan has brought yet another failure to the big screen reminiscent of his last two movies Lady in the Winter (2006) and The Happening (2008). Only this time, it’s much worse.
Implementing different lighting, Shyamalan created an intriguing film that engages its audience in its characters’ lives throughout the plot. Whether he highlights many features with high key lighting or just one with low key lighting, he keeps viewers focused on the film as they become emotionally a part of it. Similarly, the way in which he utilizes different framing techniques emphasizes certain people or objects while engrossing those watching with intense emotional triggers. Both Cole and Dr. Crowe are filmed in a manner that contributes to the story as a whole. Dr. Crowe, both innocent and dark, attempts to rid Cole of his horrifying pain and Cole, grants Dr. Crowe the opportunity to redeem his mistake with Vincent while searching for a way to escape the nightmare his life has become. Accentuated by Shyamalan’s genius way of writing and directing, this film portrays an unparalleled depiction of the connection between those living and those who have passed. He encourages the audience to think about each human being as an individual who may not be just as they appear. Many things go unknown in life and humanity can’t disregard all that the past has to offer the present as well as the future. Cole and Dr. Crowe accomplished goals together that they never could have alone. The Sixth Sense establishes a bridge
I liked the way Mary Elizabeth Winstead who played Wendy took her part so seriously and you could actually feel the fear she had after her premonition. Also Kris Lemche who played Ian McKinley acted the scene where they was at ‘build it’ really well because he was throwing everything Wendy says right back at her. When she tells him about ‘deaths design’ he then replies with “Ok. Ok, what if, for example, the last in line were to make the utilitarian choice. Kill themselves. Well, wow, that's pretty much gonna ruin any plan deaths put in motion. And even better, I think that's gonna save, five skipped lives. Any takers?” He says it so seriously that it made me think he was a bit tapped in the head.
The visuals stuck with me a bit more given that I think the location work was really well done for this film, from the cramped theater to the open fields I always enjoyed the surroundings the charachters found themselves in. The score is also familiar for the genre and compliments the film
The acting is good, but not good enough, and this is due to the lack of depth in the story. The honour of the Best Picture award certainly wasn’t justified by the movie. The other nominations such as Boyhood, deserved it better according to most common opinion. The virtue of ignorance is clearly seen in the unexpectedly loose
I found most interesting of the movie how the story is introduced with suspense music. Is a fiction story of a guy that has an evil eye, which made Edgar go insane. The old man had an eye of a bird, a pale eye. The eye of the old made made Edgar very nervous not mad. Even that he loved the old man the things he heard from underworld made him kill the old man. I found most interested about the reading how the writer describes how Edgar cut the old man body and berry him in his under the floor. The description of Edgar hearing the old man heart beating made me heart it too. I could see in my imagination when Edgar put his chair on top of the course victim and started to fell guilt and tough the police officers new of what he had done, and him
