Randy Myers San Jose Mercury News The Visitor keeps humming along even as it goes totally bonkers near its final act. Rated: 2.5/4 Oct 19, 2022 Full Review Jeannette Catsoulis New York Times “The Visitor” isn’t a terrible movie, just a tired one. Oct 6, 2022 Full Review Nathaniel Muir AIPT 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. Oct 28, 2022 Full Review Chad Collins Dread Central The Visitor is doppelgänger horror in more ways than one. Audiences have seen it all before. Rated: 2.5/5 Oct 26, 2022 Full Review Norman Gidney HorrorBuzz A good-looking film with little else to show for it. Rated: 5/10 Oct 23, 2022 Full Review Matt Donato IGN Movies The Visitor goes down like a spoonful of melatonin, and is dryer than a folkloric horror tumbleweed. Rated: 5/10 Oct 17, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

Lawrence C A dumb premise that leads to bloodless series of embarrassingly bad non-events. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 11/04/24 Full Review Audience Member What a horrible movie. Wasted time I'll never get back. Boring. Not horror. Just a drama. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 11/03/24 Full Review Hei Det E Easily among the dumbest movies I've ever had the displeasure of watching. The plot is about as enticing as the prospect of eating wet cardboard soaked in cyanide. What a giant waste of time. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 10/29/24 Full Review Sai M The Visitor is a very interesting movie with a spin on the usual trope where a wife is typically brought into a strange environment and soon learns that an eerie cult-like community dynamic is attached to her perceived dream relationship and moving into a home she thinks will serve as her happily ever after - only to discover that things aren't quite what they seem. A comparable film to The Wicker Man in the aspect of drawing a male into the community in order to procreate, it is different in the approach to the MMC's importance in the bloodline structure and how that correlates to his new wife was unique and I appreciated that. It's a bit slow at first, and yet instantly weird with the way the opening to the movie introduces each character but the way it ends is probably the weirdest part considering that nothing culminated quite like I anticipated it would and that was both a welcome experience and a bit of a shock. I'd recommend it to fans of movies like Rosemary's Baby, The Wicker Man and End of Days. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/17/24 Full Review William K Seemed promising at the start and had me wondering what's gonna happen next, but after a decent build up they completely butchered the second half of the movie and the ending. Disappointing... Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 04/22/24 Full Review Christian H The characters are unlikable, the movie is incredibly slow, it's really boring overall, it's like if Seinfeld was a horror movie. By that I mean it's a movie where nothing happens, there are no scares, and it's boring throughout. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/25/24 Full Review Read all reviews
