The Visitor

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 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...

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.

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.

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...
