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.

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.

A dumb premise that leads to bloodless series of embarrassingly bad non-events.

What a horrible movie. Wasted time I'll never get back. Boring. Not horror. Just a drama.

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.

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

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...
