Visitor

About This Movie

So, 'Visitor' is a strange gem from '85 that really leans into the dark humor. It’s set in 1848, out in the Minnesota Territory, and you can really feel the isolation and madness creeping in on this frontier couple. The pacing is a bit off-kilter, which adds to the unsettling vibe. The practical effects are quirky and have this odd charm that matches the bizarre fairy tale aspects. Performances are a mixed bag, but they nail the absurdity of the situation. It’s not your run-of-the-mill fantasy film; there's a layer of macabre that gets under your skin. If you enjoy offbeat narratives and a touch of the surreal, it's worth a watch.
