Like the majority of his movies, The Visit was filmed in the Philadelphia region of Pennsylvania. Philly.com reports that this new project "is meant to be a return to Shyamalan's earlier pictures, straying far from the big budget grandiosity of bombs..."
Well here's the great news!... Universal Pictures has bought the worldwide rights to my new thriller #TheVisit (fka) Sundowning!

This is great news for fans of the filmmaker and his style, but can we consider this his return to form?
Deadline broke this news, and shares the synopsis of the film:
The Visit focuses on a brother and sister who are sent to their grandparents' remote Pennsylvania farm for a weeklong trip. Once the children discover that the elderly couple is involved in something deeply disturbing, they see their chances of getting back home are growing smaller every day.
As Slash Film points out, the original title of the film, Sundowning, could be a reference to Sundowners Syndorme, which affects elderly people in different ways when the sun literally sets. Some symptoms include anxiety, depression, anger, fright and more. Keeping the filmmaker's style of writing and directing in mind, we can only imagine what could come out of this idea - if it's involved at all.
