The dialogue is from the 2015 movie The Visit, directed by the famous filmmaker M. Night Shyamalan. The film is currently streaming on Netflix and has recently found great love and high praise from the audience for its exhilarating plot and clever execution. Shyamalan, a master of mystery and thriller, once again wins big with his underrated flick.

From the dialogue and the title of the film, it is pretty evident that the story is about a visit to grandparents that somehow goes wrong. Here, two siblings, Becca (Olivia DeJonge), a fifteen-year-old aspiring filmmaker, and her observant thirteen-year-old brother, Tyler (Ed Oxenbould), are traveling to see their grandparents for the first time. Their mom (Kathryn Hahn) has not been talking to the grandparents for about fifteen years.

So, this visit to their grandparents is actually a chance to bring the family back together and mend broken relationships. At first, everything goes just as it should. Nana (Deanna Dunagan) is warm and lovely, and Pop Pop (Peter McRobbie) is quirky but enthusiastic. They both give them a hearty welcome, play games, and share a laugh, but everything seemed too good to be true.

This sense of something not feeling right will give the audience as many creeps as it did to the siblings, and this only gets worse as the movie carries on.

The twist where it all goes haywire

The movie starts to unravel when the siblings notice the weird behavior of their grandparents and talk to their mother about it. Over a video call, their mother confirms that the people her children have been with this whole time were, in fact, not their grandparents. This is where the iconic dialogue comes from that has been giving chills to everyone on the internet.
