The Visitor

There was something about this one that I really liked. I think it was the potential and originality I saw within the plot. The execution of this movie was not spot on by any means but I think there is conceptually a foundation for something special.

As a whole this felt a little under developed and lost steam towards the end. A lot of the plot points felt a bit formulaic as far as horror goes, yet there was a spark of originality in there. With some reworking I think this concept could be really cool.

With that being said, this movie on its own was not unsuccessful. It was moderately entertaining even while having some hokey moments and also had some solid performances particularly by the husband.

All in all I thought this was decent, containing an adequate amount of intrigue and atmosphere. Would recommend.

The movie began actually very good and interesting. You get invested in the movie when it starts. Great beginning and you are all into the movie then comes then ending.

The ending completely RUIN the movie. The ending makes you feel that you wasted your time seeing this movie to begin with.

I hate seeing a movie when you are invested in the movie and think it is amazing, then the ending completely crash and burn the movie.

I feel the beginning and the end are like two complete different movies.

If the ending was different then this movie would have gotten a 7 stars or something similar.

But the ending bring this movie to zero.

What the hell happened at the end? This is what you think about when the movie finish.

This movie could have a much better ending and you would feel totally satisfied.

This is all I am going to say...

I have to write six hundred characters about this? I am not sure that is possible. The Blumhouse TV films have always been hit or miss - the ones on Hulu were about 50/50, the Amazon Prime ones were similar. Now we have Epix, and the first, Torn Hearts was OK at best. Well, compared to this dreck it was a masterpiece. I don't know where to start with an actual review. The writing is lazy, derivative (to be kind), and just plain bad. It's directed competently but what does it matter when the material is just plain garbage? There's nothing here that hasn't been done before and done better. Not even worth a rainy afternoon watch.

The ratings this movie gets on here are a bit low in my opinion. Not that The Visitor is a movie that I will forever remember, on the contrary, I will probably forget everything about it by next week, but it's good enough to watch once. The acting from the completely unknown cast to me wasn't bad, which shows you don't necessary need big names to make a movie interesting. The story has a mysterious vibe to it, even though it's a bit predictable at one point, but overall they keep you guessing for a good while. The story isn't something we've never seen before, not very original but it's okay, I've certainly seen worse in this genre. It could have used a bit more horror scenes to make it creepier. I won't watch this movie again in the future but I also don't regret watching it.

I mean... It's absolutely watchable, but first of all, there isn't much happening. The movie is very quiet and personally I don't think there is much suspense either.

The start of the movie was much better than the other half of the movie turned out to be.

I would say that the whole movie is meh. The movie wants to be more than it is, it tries to be deep and be different... but instead it turns out slow and hard to understand the plot.

The ending kinda ruined the whole movie. I don't usually think that the ending can ruin the whole movie, but this time I did.

I did understand the movies plot better because of the ending... but that doesn't mean that the movie or the plot was good.

I am actually kinda disappointed, I thought Blumhouse would deliver a better movie than this... but I guess that doesn't work out every time.

Soooo... in conclusion, this movie has good acting, the story is somewhat "scary" and creepy. But the slow pacing and weird ending didn't save this movie. So if you're tired, don't watch this movie, but if you're not... then maybe watch it, but don't have high expectations. Personally, this movie was NOT worth the wait for the digital release!!
