I count the following M. Night films as "good"
1. Unbreakable 2. Sixth Sense 3. Signs 4. The Village
Anything after "The Village" is garbage IMO. Lady in the Water wasn't for me and the Happening was a complete joke (really Marky Mark? I remember you promoting the film as the "scariest movie you've ever seen"). I skipped over Avatar: The Last Airbender and After Earth for obvious reasons. After assuming and then ultimately knowing the last two would tank, it was no surprise to me that "The Visit" would be the directors lowest studio budget film.
When the trailers first released, I found myself itching to see it. Luckily last night I was able to do so. Viewers expecting to see a pure horror or pure comedy will be disappointed, its truly a film that falls in-between the two.
Without giving anything away, know that while its not his strongest film, it truly makes up for a couple of his last bombs. I laughed, I cringed, I jumped and I ultimately enjoyed this film. I will give this movie a 7/10 and add it to my list of M. Night's "good" movies.
