The Visit / int_1777688d | comment |
Genre Savvy: Both of the kids, Becca for being an aspiring filmmaker and Tyler being... a 13-year-old, are pretty savvy in regards to what to do when dealing with horror-esque situations. | |

Fairytale Motifs: From the trailer and the poster, this seems to be something of a Hansel and Gretel tale. And the ultimate explanation for why everything happens is straight out of Little Red Riding Hood. | |

Found Footage Films: The kids are recording their trip and this footage seems to make up most of the film. Surprisingly for this genre, the footage is gorgeously shot, with Becca even setting up camera angles that provide full views of rooms — both resulting in longer, steadier takes than this genre is known for. | |

Bittersweet Ending: Tyler and Becca kill "Nana" and "Pop Pop", but are initially traumatized by what they endured and what they had to do, though the final scene shows they largely grew out of the trauma and they seem better than ever. In addition, their real grandparents are dead and Loretta never got a chance to reconcile with them. She urges Tyler and Becca not to hate their father like she hated her parents. | |

The Visit / int_5a62e8d0 | comment |
Sliding Scale of Comedy and Horror: Marketed as a horror/comedy. The first trailer seems to be leaning towards horror, but the fact that the antagonists are crazy old folk may be Narm to some and push it more towards comedy. Deanna Dunagan's performance as Nana really drives this home. The "hide and seek" sequence is a perfect example of how much of a masterful Mood Whiplash the film can be. | |

Tyler is obsessed with cleanliness as a method of controlling his life. Both of these get used against them, and they manage to conquer both of them. | |

Adults Are Useless: Nana and Pop Pop are the problem, and Mom doesn't seem to believe the kids when they call her and say something's wrong. Subverted when she realizes that her children have been staying with strangers and not their real grandparents. She immediately calls the police and sets out to save them, telling them to escape to the neighbors as soon as possible. | |

Chekhov's Skill: Tyler's interest in football. Midway through the film, he confesses the reason why he thinks his father left: he froze in the middle of an important peewee league football game, allowing the other team to win. In the end, after freezing up when the grandfather assaults him, he takes the old man down after he threatens Becca, first by tackling him into the kitchen drawers, then slamming the fridge door into his head repeatedly. | |
