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.

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.
