Audio problem: When Tyler goes out to the unheated shed and finds the dirty diapers, you hear flies buzzing. This movie is in the middle of winter with snow on the ground. (00:24:20)

Two young kids are to spend time with older relatives...or are they really psychopaths "pretending" to be eccentric Grandparents?! M. Night Shyamalan raises the question and already I think that you know the answer to that in this semi-scary, dark and twisted Thriller. Boo.
More mistakes in The Visit
Grandma: Yahtzee.
Trivia: While the film was always meant to be something of a horror-comedy, director M. Night Shyamalan supervised three versions of the film during editing- one played mostly for horror with little comedy, one played mostly for comedy with the horror downplayed, and one that tried to balance both tones equally. The version that balanced horror and comedy equally is the final version released in theaters.
Question: Why didn't Loretta call 911 instead of just the Masonville Police station when she learned the two people her kids were staying with were not their Grandparents? In the event of two escaped psychopaths holed up in the house with two vulnerable kids, police would have connected the dots with a SWAT team, probably called in to rescue them. Tyler and Becca being in the house with the two unpredictable, deranged killers was basically the equivalent of a hostage situation.

Answer: 911 calls are usually automatically routed to the nearest local emergency dispatch center. From what I remember (haven't seen the movie in a while, so I could be wrong), the mother was still out of town, so dialing 911 wouldn't have been much help... she'd need to be rerouted, etc. Directly calling the police station was simply a faster way to contact the authorities closest to her children.
