The Visit

A wealthy, estranged father (based in New York) summons his two adult children (Alex and Mark) to his estate in upstate New York for a tense weekend visit. As the siblings navigate their father's paranoia and the unsettling atmosphere of the sprawling property, they uncover disturbing secrets about his past and the true nature of his life. The isolated setting and the father's erratic behavior create an increasingly claustrophobic and suspenseful environment.
