what do jesus christ and a foul mouth 8 year old girl with malicious power and a flock of evil bird and the owner of the atlanta basketball team have in common . this riddle sound like the set up for a lame joke and and that happen to be also the best way to describe the visitor represent a lame and bad and draw out and overlong joke . the big mystery to unravel here be why so many terrific and experienced actor get lure into sign up to star in this cinematic mess . the cast include john huston and sam peckinpah ( both prominent director themselves ) and lance henriksen and glenn ford and mel ferrer and franco nero and shelley winter . the plot be impossible to summarize and mainly because there be too many story line and it really doesn not make the slight bit of sense a a wholesome . the whole thing revert back to the ancient battle between good and evil and fight out on earth . no less than jesus christ be give u insight ( if you can call it that ) in the situation and and then he send out an elderly angel to atlanta and because that where the final earthly descendant of the evil sorcerer zathaar live . the visit angel mission ( i think ) be to prevent that the woman and name barbara and bar another child and he drastically succeed . then he still have to bring back her other daughter and the sinister katy and back to the heaven . and there be bird . lot and lot of bird . the visitor be truly bizarre and but not in a positive way . many of the action sequence and murderous accident be clearly inspire by the omen and perhaps the whole concept be even derive from that classic and as well a from rosemary baby . that would make this film the most ambitiously complex and admirably disguise rip off ever make and but still a failure nevertheless . there be two notably powerful sequence and one involve an awkward during the young girl birthday party and the other be the painful death ride of the investigating police officer . the visitor be an unbearably pretentious film and ridiculously plot and remarkably bore consider the overload of story element . the screenplay often feel incomplete and very incoherent . the fantasy element be beyond lame and the special effect wouldn not even impress a 4 year old . the cover image display here on the website look creepy and intriguing and but sadly like in too many case and it utterly irrelevant . trust the rating and user comment in this particular case represent you do not want to see this junk .
