M. Night Shyamalan’s latest thriller The Visit arrives today on Blu-Ray, adiposity DVD and Digital HD.

With a meager budget but memorable moments of suspense, decease the film marks a return to form of sorts for the writer/director, who earned accolades for his work on the Oscar-nominated film The Sixth Sense. Since that film, the director has struggled at times with high-concept features.

The new film has a more modest concept though. Two youngsters named Becca (Olivia Dejonge) and Tyler (Ed Oxenbould) are sent to visit their grandparents for a week while their mother takes a much-needed vacation. When the grandchildren arrive at their mother’s old home though, they notice that something doesn’t seem to be right with their eccentric granny (Deanna Dunagan) and their easily-agitated Pop Pop (Peter McRobbie).

Shyamalan uses the found footage concept to chronicle this week of horror as the grandchildren slowly begin to realize how much danger they are in. Relying on genuine suspense, the filmmakers have fashioned a old-fashioned but commendable scary movie with the help of Dunagan, who does a great supporting job here.
