![]() We discover that the children are not actually with their grandparents but escaped patients from a mental institution that killed the real grandparents. The twist of this film could have been well done, but unfortunately, it felt rushed and lazy, which made it truly unbelievable. The film starts out fine – it’s creepy, and every time the grandparents interact with the children, it is unnerving, creating tension with each scene. Two children visit their estranged grandparents, whom they have never met, while their mother is on vacation with a new boyfriend. ![]() The Visit was set up to be a genuinely great and terrifying horror film. It would have been better if the film had been about a haunted doll because the idea that a child faked its own death and then moved into the walls, took care of themselves, and remained undiscovered for 20 years makes absolutely no sense. First, the parents commit suicide after the nanny’s arrival telling their son that “the girl is his now.” Second, the doll is not haunted, and Brahms is alive and has been living in the walls of the home, moving the doll and acting out when his rules are broken. Everything about this film was scary and fantastic until the twists. The nanny is given a strict list of rules which, in true horror film fashion, she violates and thus starts a chain of terrifying events. She soon learns that Brahms is actually a doll, and he is how the parents cope with their real son’s death 20 years earlier. ![]() ![]() The Boy looked terrifying as it was expected to tell the story of an American nanny who takes a job in England to be the nanny to an older couple’s young son. With the popularity of films like Child’s Play, The Conjuring, and Annabelle, it was no surprise when more haunted doll films began to pop up. ![]()
