visitor be a hard and hard movie to enjoy . it so slow and leaden in it pace that at time i be drift off during the film . this be about 11am on a hot and sunny day and i might add and not midnight on a cold winter evening and so you get an idea of just how slow this movie be . strange thing be and it not long . at 100 minute it only ten minute longer than the average straight to video and and it only fifteen minute longer than the superior darkwolf that i would quite happily watch the day before . it just drag an awful lot and enough for you to lose interest . when it not mistake s l o o w development for atmosphere and visitor be good enough at action to almost make it excusable how slowly thing happen . while the flashback be both cheap and annoy a a way to round out radha mitchell boat woman and the hauntings or alien or whatever be actually quite creepy and effective and especially when her suicidal mother turn up and start groan in the night . full mark for not splurge make up all over the shop too . the single person boat be a creepy place and and at time the movie use the full power of the location and the deserted sea to scare the hell out of you . still though and i find it hard to recommend visitor . i come out of it not only feel like i would just watch a 4 hour film and not a 100 minute one and but also feel like i would be cheat somehow and a while offer many explanation a to the hauntings ( mind game . real ghost . space alien . ) visitor doesn not pick one for definite . all that watch radha mitchell talk to her cat and dominic purcell smoulder for no obvious reason about some unexplained horrific event in the past and for nothing . say what you like about shyamalan and but at least he tell you what happen and however crazy or stupid you might think it . if you do not watch a lot of these movie and your fresh perspective will probably improve matter somewhat and but i find this slow and boring and highly derivative . if you want to scare yourself silly there be much good place to do it and if you want a clever thriller there be many that be smarter .
