How dare you!
I know movies are subjective but I liked it, gets a decent enough audience rating on rotten tomatoes too fwiw.

The Visit is good fun and it's the only time Shymalan has shown that he can have a sense of humour. After several big budget flops he went and made a low budget found footage film and got his groove back. Devil isn't really a film by him, he produced it and came out with the story, but he didn't write or direct it.
Right I wasn't quite sure exactly what he did for either film, glad to hear the visit was properly his film. I like his big budget flops too though I don't get why they got reviewed so badly. E.g. I loved "the happening".

I had the good fortune to see this in the cinema when it came out. Save yourself £9 and recreate the experience by watching The Texas Chainsaw Massacre or Last House on the Left whilst slowly inserting a corkscrew into your urethra.

Just posted this in the Netflix Recommendations thread but worth mentioning here:
Just watched His House - a slightly surreal horror film which is as much about the trauma of civil war, grief, and ending up as an asylum seeker in the gears of the system here in the UK as it is about the supernatural. It is very well done with striking visuals and a claustrophobic atmosphere, and the main actors turn in a good performance. Well worth watching IMO, it might not be to everyone's taste (OH found it really depressing), but if you like horror that is in a different vein than the usual offerings, give it a go.

A very niche horror film for those who find leaves on trees scary.
I like the beginning where everyone is chucking themselves off buildings for no reason. Always found trees a bit sinister too, all those invisible roots underground.A very niche horror film for those who find leaves on trees scary.

You can get it on Shudder. Coincidentally I have just watched it for the first time. Not sure what I make of it, very campy and some very … distinctive …, artistic/directional choices. I really liked the opener, but it didn't sustain my interest. Not half as shocking as it probably thinks it is.

Jim Jarmush making a zombie comedy is great if you've never seen a zombie comedy before.
I'm watching with my 10 year old, its between that and original night of the living dead if that makes a difference.
I know night of the living dead very well of course... it might be a bit slow for him. (We both watched The Visit last night and he Loved it, it was a bit scarier than I anticipated but he really enjoyed that and slept fine etc)

It's like he wasn't aware that this is well throtten material as there are lots of comedy zombie films and I've seen it all before. It's watchable, but by his standards its pretty disappointing.

Than he might find The Dead Don't Die more entertaining. Night of the Living Dead is a bit on the nightmarish side, would have freaked me out, but kids today....
Bit of a one-joke movie, drags on and even a great cast can't save it.

Little Monsters, Shaun of the Dead or Zombieland would be fun zombie films for a kid who can handle a bit of gore.
