Night Visitor Audience Reviews

Ceticultsot Beautiful, moving film.
ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
Lachlan Coulson This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.
Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
JoeB131 What happens to good actors when they can't get good roles anymore? They end up in stuff like this.Elliot Gould was a leading man back in the 1970's. He was kind of a big deal. Some of the other actors were quite good, but could be picked up on the cheap, kind of like that state of the art Commadore 64 someone sells at a garage sale.The plot is that a teenage boy takes to spying on his neighbor, who is apparently a hooker. No one believes him when he says she was murdered his HS History teacher who had him expelled the day before.ANd what follows is the case of the worst detectives ever trying to catch the most inept criminal ever before they kill more hookers with no survival skills.I think Gould's performance irked me the most, because his character came off as kind of silly in what should have been a serious movie. Pollard's character was almost as bad, playing the mentally deficient brother of the Satanist History Teacher.
trashgang This is a perfect example that around the end of the eighties early nineties horror was really death. This flick do has the perfect cast and even that shows that a perfect cast doesn't make a movie. It started pretty will with the kidnapping of a hooker. A new girl (Shannon Tweed) arrives and looks rather sexy (which is normal have been Playmate of 1982 and married to Kiss member Gene Vincent) and her neighbor, a teenager Billy Colton (Derek Rydall), falls in love and is peeping tom on her. One night he see she's handcuffed and he wants to take a picture. Climbing the roof he witnesses that her neighbor is being killed by his teacher Willard (Allen Garfield).Of course being a teenager and full of imagination no-one believes him when he tell the police that his teacher is the killer. With comedy elements, especially when Billy visits Lisa, in a horror you have to be sure that it all fits together. Sadly it doesn't. Once the killing is done you do see girls being captured but the horror is far gone. Oh yes, sure, there's some satanic rituals involved and the score does work but on screen the retard and the black mess doesn't work. They do show a breast to please the viewer but once the dagger goes into the flesh is doesn't satisfy. You see the dagger going down from the POV of the victim and only a bit of red stuff appears on her face. No on-camera stabbing or result to see. Can't say anything bad about the filming and editing except a few continuity mistakes for first time director Rupert Hitzig, already produced Jaws 3D (1983). But I can say that it wasn't a good flick. Still some will seek for it for all the well known thespians in it. Gore 0/5 Nudity 0,5/5 Effects 0/5 Story 2,5/5 Comedy 0,5/5
ManBehindTheMask63 Night Visitor is an entertaining and old school 80's horror flick that shares a lot in common with another horror classic called Fright Night. A senior in High School named Colton discovers his neighbor is a hooker but his friends don't believe him. So one night he decides to get photos for proof, except he happens to photograph her being murdered by a devil worshiping serial killer...who also happens to be his history teacher! The only problem is Colton likes to cry wolf and tell stories. So the police and the other students are skeptical. So Colton decides to stop this psycho himself. There are some great 80's tunes, some good acting, and some good T&A. But the film has no gore and a low body count. Shannon Tweed is a treat and Elliot Gould is fun to watch as the ex-detective. It felt like a re-hash of Fright Night but was still fun and unique. The whole teacher being a killer idea was effective. The bum from "Scrooged" plays the killers "special" brother. A pretty good film. Oh, and a terrible poster for the film...it looks like a giant bug or bee when it's really the killer's mask.
lorenzo212 This is a classic two week shoot genre flick that is fun all the way around. For the genre, the directing by Hitzig is great, and the show is stolen by a small part done by Jovanni Brascia as a john. Everyone studying film, should watch this to see how the basics work, when you have no or little budget. It is done remarkably well and the cast is stellar. Based on what is in this film, Rupert Hitzig is a man we will hear a lot about.
