O Visitante

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.

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...

The movie unfolds very slowly, laying the groundwork for what is happening. Robert and Maia, who met in London and married, are back in the US at her father's home, after he died, which he left to her. She had a miscarriage, but still wants children. It turns out her family has very long roots in the town. Robert sees things, but are they dreams or visions of the future, or omens? He notices an old painting, which looks a lot like him. He goes to an antique store, and sees another old photograph, and one man looks like him. There is a lot of evil present, and the movie slowly doles it out. And then rushes the ending, which is not satisfying.

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.

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.
