Short description
A brother and sister are sent to their grandparents' remote Pennsylvania farm for a week, where they discover that the elderly couple is involved in something deeply disturbing.
What's left behind the scenes
- An aspiring rapper named Tyler speaks about his music and mentions Tyler, the Creator. This is the pseudonym of an American rapper whose compositions can be described as "rap horror."
- At the beginning of the film, Becca and Tyler are looking at photographs on the wall in their grandparents' house. One of the pictures features the possessed doll Annabelle from James Wan's 2013 film "The Conjuring".
- The director himself does not play any cameo roles in the film "The Visit".
- In a rap song about the events depicted in “The Visit,” Tyler claims he survived like Mel Gibson in one of his action films. In the film, Tyler kills his grandfather by hitting his head against a refrigerator door. Gibson in “Lethal Weapon 2” (1989) kills the villain in the same way, only using a car door instead of a refrigerator door.
- To produce the film "The Visit," M. Night Shyamalan used money earned from the release of "After Earth" (2013), which was produced by Will Smith. As the director explained, he wanted to "regain control over the creative process" after his previous films were either left unedited or taken away from him during the editing process.

- To finance the film “The Visit,” M. Night Shyamalan used money earned from the release of “After Earth” (2013), which was produced by Will Smith. As the director himself explained, he wanted to “regain control over the creative process” after his previous films were either left unedited or had the editing taken away from him during production.
- This is the first horror film directed by M. Night Shyamalan for which the music was not written by James Newton Howard, the distinguished composer for many popular movies. The director decided to do without a musical score due to the low budget and the characteristics of the film, which was shot in the 'found footage' genre (a genre in which the entire film or a substantial part of it is presented to the viewer as materials from found film or video recordings, often left behind by missing or deceased characters).
- The working title of the film was "Night Confusion".
- The final credits roll to the sound of Tyler's rap song, in which he describes what happened to him and his sister and mentions that he survived, like Mel Gibson at the end of the movie "Lethal Weapon 2" (1989). Gibson starred in M. Night Shyamalan's film "Signs," which was released in 2002.
- This is the first horror film directed by M. Night Shyamalan for which James Newton Howard, a prominent composer who has written music for many popular films, did not compose the score. The director decided to forgo musical accompaniment due to the low budget and the film's genre – found footage (a genre in which the entire film or a substantial part of it is presented to the viewer as material from found recordings on film or video cameras, often remaining after the missing or deceased characters of the film).
- The end credits roll against the backdrop of Tyler’s rap song, where he describes what happened to him and his sister and mentions that he survived like Mel Gibson at the end of “Lethal Weapon 2” (1989). Gibson starred in M. Night Shyamalan’s “Signs,” which was released in 2002.
