Grandma goes bad in terrifying trailer for ‘The Visit’

Friday, April 24th, 2015

A visit with grandma goes horribly, supernaturally wrong in a trailer for M Night Shyamalan’s new movie.

Two children (Ed Oxenbould and Olivia De Jonge) are expecting a nice trip to their grandparents’ home in The Visit, but things go from mundane to terrifying at night.

Shyamalan uses a found footage format for the horror movie, as the kids document their grandparents’ increasingly bizarre behaviour.

“They’re weird during the day, even weirder at night,” the kids tell their mother (Kathryn Hahn) while pleading for a rescue.

The Visit is a return for Shyamalan to the horror genre, in which he previously had hits with The Sixth Sense, Signs and The Village.

More recently, Shyamalan directed the fantasy epic The Last Airbender and science fiction action movie After Earth.

The Visit opens on September 11 in the US and the UK.

It Follows sequel will “Flip the title”

Friday, April 10th, 2015

Horror hit It Follows may get a follow-up, with American distributor Radius-TWC revealing that discussions have already begun regarding a sequel.

Tom Quinn, co-president of Radius-TWC, said that a potential title has also been talked about for a second instalment.

“I don’t want to give away too much, but we’ve thought about it,” Quinn told EW of the sequel plans.

He added: “Flip the title. There’s so much you could do.”

David Robert Mitchell’s It Follows sees teen Jay (Maika Monroe) on the run from a shapeshifting demon that’s passed on by having sex.

The title Follow It suggests a reversal in fortunes for the sequel.

It Follows has been drawing rave reviews from critics since its Cannes Film Festival debut last year, and currently stands at a 95% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

To date it has earned more than $11 million at the box office from a budget of $2 million.
