 The movie tells the tale of two children who go to visit
their grandparents, played by Deanna Dunagan and Peter McRobbie,
but the elderly couple's strange behavior begins to scare them.
The movie also features some humor to relieve the tension -- a
technique Shyamalan said was inspired by fellow film director
David Lynch's work.
"I am getting obsessed by David Lynch movies. I am in that kind
of head space of weird humor, kind of like inappropriate dark
weird humor," Shyamalan told Reuters in an interview.
Shyamalan wrote, directed and co-produced the film, which has no
musical score, a deliberate choice.
"I didn't score any scenes so you didn't know whether it
was...light suspense, you didn't know whether it was going to be
funny and awkward or it was going to be terrifying," he said.
"So the whole time your body is just tense because I am not
giving you any guidance."

Shyamalan soared to fame with "The Sixth Sense" which starred Bruce
Willis and Haley Joel Osment, especially for the plot twisting
ending for which he has become famous for.
"I aspire to have a kind of a literary relationship with an audience
like the author of a book does," he said.
"Hopefully I will get to make 20 more movies and there will be a
relationship with the author like when we go to read a Stephen King
book or a John Grisham book."
"The Visit" is released in British cinemas on Sept. 9 and in the
United States two day later.
