Richard W @rdwoolf Mar 9 The Visitor is a weird, bat💩 crazy film. At some point in the late seventies someone thought , Is it possible to combine the stories of The Omen, The Bad Seed, The Birds, The Bible, Rosemary’s Baby, and Close Encounters of The Third Kind into one film? And what if our main character escapes their home planet Superman-style by traveling to earth in a small spacecraft? All this could be told to a group of bald children by a very blond Franco Nero as space Jesus. Unfortunately that is a few too many concepts to pull off and The Visitor isn’t really very creepy, or scary, or intense. But it does have a fantastic, lush late-seventies look and vibe. And there’s a plethora of well-seasoned actors placed throughout the film. I recommend it for the film-curious.

It’s definitely not good, and I’m certainly not going to be flipping for it, still, it definitely stands out as something different but... I’m just not sure what. It is interesting to see some similarities to The Matrix. See more Max B @maxbruce 12/04/2024 So much basketball. So, so much basketball. A friend of mine bet me I wouldn’t make it past Lance Henrikson’s sex scene. He was right. See more Laura S @RT24949411 07/14/2023 I love a bad movie. Truly madly love a bad movie. But this stinker is unlovable. Here are some of many reasons: -It will never ever make sense of any kind. -At least 30 minutes are shots of people doing nothing: standing, staring, walking for no apparent reason, standing, staring… -it takes place in Atlanta but isn't shot there at all (maybe two scenes) -Did I mention it doesn't make any sense? -and it's really boring? -tried to capitalize on The Exorcist with pretty mom and daughter with blonde hair and hazel eyes but it didn't work -if you are afraid of/champion of pigeons, the ending will pay off for you, so that's something -the only black peoples are 1) a butler and 2) literally everyone waiting at the hospital. -John Huston is self-aggrandizing in all aspects of this film - John Hendrikson does display the robotic sensibilities of his role in Aliens Don't waste your time unless you are well and truly stoned. See more Kevin L @Lakeman 05/22/2022 What a stew of Damien Omen, Exorcist, Lynchian style-over-substance, and general wackiness. Mel Ferrer doing this schlock is one thing, but John Huston?! The man should feel shame even from the grave for this do-si-do with dubious screenwriting. I'll give it some credit and kudos for the general wackiness, and for the kestrel. I love kestrels, but this is no 'Kes' by a few miles or more. Also, the random sudden blasts of musical score in some scenes if jarring. Damn, just out of the blue, 'Hey, here's some random loud music that adds nothing to the scene. But, hey, it'll wake you up'. Btw, can someone tell me how the little Damien child has this thick southern accent? And isn't that Will Forte in a crinkle cut blonde wig playing 'Jesus'? Shelley Winters is a hoot as the astrologically driven nanny who don't take no mess. Poor Glenn Ford. Who dug him up for this rotgut? Lance Henriksen, I'll forgive you as this was still early on in your career. And why the hell did all the kids have to shave their heads? Seems a bit extreme just for a weak effect. Quite the mess. 2.7 stars See more Read all reviews
