"Not-so-grand-parents"

Films: The Visit (2015)

Alias: Marja Bella Jamison and Frederick Spencer Jamison

Type: Natural

Location: Haunted Home

Height/Weight: That of average humans.

Affiliation: Evil

Summary: Meeting your grandparents is one of two experiences. Either a boring slog full of out-of-touch folks, or a genuine bonding experience with family. In this case, it was neither. Rather, it was a disturbing plight for some kids and the people who tried to kill them for learning too much.

History: Nana and Pop Pop are the grandparents of Becca and Tyler, graciously awaiting a visit from them in their cozy Philadelphia home. Except, not really. Those aren't really their grandparents. They are in fact a couple of escaped mental patients who killed the actual grandparents, and indulge in murder every night. The kids soon realize the horror of being around these strangers, and must fight to survive.

Notable Kills: Nothing special.

Final Fate: After the gig is up, Nana gets stabbed by a glass shard and Pop Pop gets his head caved in by a refrigerator door. The kids manage to escape, apparently none the worse for wear.

Powers/Abilities: None.

Weakness: Anything conventional.

Scariness Factor: 3-They're not exactly all that spry anymore, so bringing them down isn't that hard. But just imagine being a parent and not realizing that you basically sent you kids to an asylum where the inmates are the only ones there. Both are horrifically putrid in their actions, such as vomiting everywhere and shoving diapers into peoples' faces. And that's not even getting to the murder part.

Trivia: -This is perhaps the lowest budgeted big-studio film by M. Night Shyamalan. Still not the greatest, though. For what it's worth, it was the first film since "The Village" that didn't get a Razzie nomination.

-This film's working title was "Sundowning".

They love you enough to deal wtih this depressing little building.

The scariest part? They have raisins in them.

Slightly less healthy, but okay.
