The Visitor Audience Reviews

Greenes Please don't spend money on this.
ShangLuda Admirable film.
MoPoshy Absolutely brilliant
Jonah Abbott There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
therex-27410 Just watched Space-God go on an urban adventure to find surly kid Space-Satan for the sole purpose of shaving her head. Shit was jokes, better special effects than 9/11, would watch again.
Jerghal The Visitor is an Italian/Yank scifi flick that rips off so many classics (The Omen, the Exorcist, The Birds, Carrie, Close Encounters of the Third Kind) but in itself amounts to a pile of garbage. The cinematography resembles some of those 70's soft porn movies thanks to it's weird glowy lighting. There is also extensive use of those awkward extreme zoom shots and sometimes camera moves are flat-out idiotic (filming the back of peoples heads on purpose). They even dare use sped up footage because actors were not able to do something fast enough but this looks insanely cheap. The music seams to be lifted from Magnum P.I. or Shaft and does not fit a scifi/horror film that's supposed to be brooding and ominous. So much for the atmosphere. If the razzies had existed then many actors here would have received one. The girl that plays the 'evil child' is far from convincing but the other actors don't do much better. Can you believe Sam Peckinpah was in this film and he couldn't remember his lines so they dubbed him (badly - lip sync is way off). Lance Henriksen also shows his mug but his performance is as flat as his paycheck must have been. The story is one uneventful mess filled with plot holes and inconsistencies. So not a cult classic but cult crap hardly worth your time unless you want to see how not to make a movie.
utgard14 The plot, as I hopefully understand it, is that Satan (or Sateen, as this film calls him) fathers children with supernatural powers. One of these children is 8 year-old Katy, who has telekinetic powers and a heavy Southern drawl. An intergalactic traveler called The Visitor must battle the child for the fate of the universe....or something like that. There's also some stuff about an evil hawk, some bald aliens, and a crazy-eyed Jesus with a bad blonde wig.Nonsensical Italian-made claptrap that combines '70s fascinations with the occult and aliens. It's an awful movie that rips off many better movies, made watchable by some striking imagery and interesting casting. John Huston, Lance Henriksen, Sam Peckinpah, Mel Ferrer, Shelly Winters, and Glenn Ford are all in this. That says more about the state of their respective careers at the time than it does about the quality of this production. Incoherent but good for some laughs. Dig that terribly out of place soundtrack, too.
pigeonsoflondon This freaky movie freaked me out. If you love scenes of old men walking down stairs you'll love this movie. Thank you to the sound editor for playing sexy music during the discussion about abortion. The apparent mime camp on the roof was fascinating. And how about that Jesus guy on that heaven planet. Also, seemingly all children are bald in heaven. There's a lot of graphic beak stabbing viewer discretion is advised. This movie proves that you can get about with just about anything is you put on a freaky accent.I do not approve of the inappropriate angles during the gymnastic scenes. This movie was freaky and had some major flaws.
