Watch Visitors For Free

I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

is was the worst film I have seen since Tree of Life. If you saw and liked The Tree of Life we have nothing in common.This filmmaker deploys state of the art technology to produce a film that might have some interest in an art gallery; but only you after you have walked your feet off and need a place to rest for 5 minutes. You could fast forward the film, see all the images and make a connection that that we have heard time and again.There is no story and no talking though I would love to have shouted out comments (preferably with expletives).The images were clear and there was music. The film can be deemed to possess artistic merit(almost anything not massed produced can be described this way) but hardly worth a dime, let alone the $16 I paid.

Did you ever stop to think how dull Hollywood product would be without Brits (Anthony Hopkins) Canadians (Bill Murray, Jim Carrey) and Aussies (Mel Gibson, Radha Mitchell, Nicole Kidman, Hugh Jackman)? Mitchell had already distinguished herself in the international hit Pitch Black but that was an ensemble piece and Vin Diesel stole the show. This was the part that any actor would kill for -- a chance to carry an entire movie on your back, sink or swim (sorry for the pun). And Mitchell pulled it off. Other reviewers have talked about the plot, but really this kind of film is not about plot at all. It is simply and purely about the ability of one actor to hold your attention for 90 minutes (not counting the cat, respects to the other reviewer who felt he was the real star, see my review of MY CAT FROM HELL). And, again, Mitchell pulled it off. That's all there is to this film. (Other than the really creepy dream sequences, which, to be fair, really popped.) Really. That is the entire point of this movie. Would I lie to you?

This is a scary movie that didn't scare me at all. It's a film about female empowerment that thinks not going crazy is some sort of gender-redeeming accomplishment. And Visitors also asks the viewer to guess whether its main character is menaced by ghosts, monsters or her own mind and then offers up a weirdly confusing cop out ending where it turns out to be all three. I suppose I can give these filmmakers credit for trying to mix personal drama, psychological suspense and supernatural horror. That's at least one more subject that most motion pictures attempt to take on. The lackluster end result, however, convinces me that writer Everett De Roche and director Richard Franklin would have been better off keeping things simple.Georgia Perry (Radha Mitchell) is a young Australian woman trying to sale around the world with just her cat for physical company. Mentally, she's bringing along the baggage of her paralyzed father (Ray Barrett), guilt-trip monster of a mother (Susannah York) and her undermining boyfriend (Domenic Purcell) who may or may not be cheating on her. When her boat becomes stuck in fog and becalmed waters in the Indian Ocean, Georgia starts seeing things and the line between reality and madness, safety and danger disappears.Visitors is like a piece of furniture you have to put together yourself. The picture on the box looks good but when you've finished assembling it, there are all these pieces left over and you've got with something that's so unsteady it will collapse at the slightest pressure. If you ask no questions and don't think at all about what you're watching, maybe you can get something out of this movie. If you pay attention to it and expect anything to make sense, you'll be sorely disappointed.The concept of blending physical isolation and emotional turmoil is a solid one, though not original, and adding an element of horror to the mix probably seemed like a good idea. But you need to take those different elements and blend them together where they don't just connect or coincide. The isolation, turmoil and horror need to reflect and reinforce each other. In this case, they're disconnected and sometimes at cross purposes. It's often unclear exactly what Georgia, or the audience, is supposed to be frightened of, which neuters every threat the story offers up. Is the danger that she will fail in her voyage, go crazy or get killed?I mean, if the challenge to Georgia is internal, if this is a story about dealing with her unresolved feelings toward her mother, how does setting the boat on fire to fight off shape-shifting sea spiders fit into that? And the threat is external, if the castigating image of her mother is a ghost or monster, why does that menace simply disappear when Georgia gives up her feelings of family guilt?Rahda Mitchell does a find job here and Visitors looks and sounds okay, though it feels a bit long. The story is just too internally weak and scattered to amount to anything. If you're looking for a film that succeeds at what this one attempted, go check out The Descent. You don't need to welcome Visitors into your life.

First of all, 'Visitors, The' is not a common thriller. Far from that, the movie tells us a story about the rendezvous of a young yacht-woman (Mitchell)in a solitaire voyage around the world in a little boat with her own problems, griefs, fear and misunderstandings of a whole life. In this process, her mind derived away in a dangerous way, in which she is confronted with hallucinations involving her deceased parents, a strange lover and even her only companion in the trip - a cat named 'Taco' - starts to 'talk' to her. Good premise, even an intelligent one, but the movie lacks an indispensable deepness that the story must claim. Because of that, the result is a bit too contrived, not passionate or challenging. In fact, after some time in front of the TV, you'll feel a certain disappointment because a good idea was just mistreated. Radha Mitchell is good but her competence and her beauty are not strong enough to make this one a remarkable movie.
