The Visitor

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.

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...

Well you never know if a movie would be good or not. There are trailers that mislead you.. there are friends that love a movie but when you watch it you turn off... The only safe sign for a good horror movie is when you see lionsgate or blumhouse logo at the beginning... and for many years i 've never got disappointed...'till now... The main actor was good and he tried hard.. also the mystery at first with the paintings kind of drag you down... but everything else is so bad.. the other actors seems like were bored.. the hole movie builds something that escalates to nothing...completely slow with a twist that nobody cares about it anymore.. I am twice dissapointed cause i usually love films with mental unstable characters or religious-demonic stuff.. Hereditary and Eli are way better choices, do not waste your time on this...

Here's The 4K Lowedown on "The Visitor" (NR - 2022 - Prime) Genre: Thriller/Psycho

My Score: 5.6 Cast=2 Acting=7 Plot=7 Ending=5 Story=6 Intense=6 Pace=4 Suspense=5 Psycho=8 Twist=6

After a series of tragedies, A couple moves back to the wife's childhood home. After he discovers an old portrait of a man who looks like him, he goes down a rabbit hole to discover his identity.

"Just take it as a sign...you are where you were meant to be." I liked the trailer for this and the first 20 minutes were very interesting...playing way better as a psychopathic thriller than anything else. But then they seemed to run out of script, as they took the last 20 minutes of movie time and stretched it out into 70 minutes in the vein of watching grass grow. This would have been better as a short film...as it is I don't think it it was worth a watch.

Robert and his wife have had some strife, so they're moving somewhere else for a new life, to the home his wife was raised, where she started all her days, hoping joy and happiness will all be rife. It's a strain for Robert moving to this place, when under covers he discovers another face, a painted lookalike, the resemblance is a strike, not the last he'll find that occupies a space. Soon alarm bells start to sound and ring out loud, at the church there is a weird and eerie crowd, then his wife gets fertilised, things settle down, anxiousness dies, thoughts turn to names, a baby boy to get baptised.

It's not the most original variation on a theme but it has one or two tangents that may (or may not) raise an eyebrow or two, but ultimately a recycling of things you've encountered many times before.
