The Visitor

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...

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.

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!!

There are some movies you watch with friends and family as an evening event. There are others you watch when you're folding laundry. This was a laundry folder. Not a bad movie. It kept my interest. There is nothing I can say that was truly awful about it. I just wanted there to be something more. Maybe a different ending that would have surprised me. Maybe a different telling of this familiar story. The acting was fine. The pacing was good. The music was fine. The climax didn't seem to match the story that was presented up to that point, so the ending seemed out of place, as if it was an idea tacked on from a different story. Still, it was a serviceable close to the movie. I'm glad I didn't pay to see it in a theatre but it was perfectly fine streaming in the background while I was doing housework. Watch, but don't expect too much.

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.
