M. Night Shyamalan's 2015 found-footage horror film The Visit is now available to stream free on YouTube. The film stars Olivia DeJonge and Ed Oxenbould as siblings Becca and Tyler, who visit their estranged grandparents while their mother goes on a cruise. The grandparents, Nana and Pop Pop, impose strange rules: the children cannot leave their rooms after 9:30 P.M. or enter the basement. The film follows the siblings documenting their visit with a handheld camcorder as their grandparents' behavior becomes increasingly unsettling.
The Visit grossed $98.5 million worldwide on a $5 million budget when released. Critics praised the film not only for its horror moments but also for moments of levity. The single-house setting creates claustrophobia while the terror draws from everyday situations. The film came during a found-footage boom and marked a point in Shyamalan's career following a downward streak.
