The Visitor keeps humming along even as it goes totally bonkers near its final act.

“The Visitor” isn’t a terrible movie, just a tired one.

The script keeps things streamlined. There is a steady escalation leading to some graphic scenes of violence. There are lots of reveals in a short period of time – one of which is particularly disgusting – but the entire watch is an entertaining one.

The Visitor is doppelgänger horror in more ways than one. Audiences have seen it all before.

The Visitor goes down like a spoonful of melatonin, and is dryer than a folkloric horror tumbleweed.

I don't know why the critics on both RT and IMDB rate it so poorly. I think it deserves a much higher rating. I thought it was well-acted, atmospheric and creepy with an interesting storyline that carried a twist at the end.

Not sure why this is getting such low reviews. This was a very entertaining horror movie. Is it breaking new ground in the horror genre? No. But it’s still a really good watch. You could definitely do much worse.

Great for suspense and mild horror, not really great if your looking for a great movie storyline. Quality and actors/actresses did a great job. Just seemed like they were tossing ideas in scene by scene to figure out what the name should mean or what the visitor is.

This was one of the worst movies I have ever seen. It was slow, it made no sense, the acting was awful, and after watching it I have no idea what it was supposed to be about. The only good thing was it was free on Prime. I’d really be ticked if I had paid for this garbage.
