I read the book and watched the movie. I have some respect for Frank Peretti brining Christian fiction into the horror realm, but everything he has written just sucks. His movies aren’t much better.
The movie was insanely better than the book, but steals way too many scares from truly original horror movies. Family fun movie, nothing more, really.
For horror with a Christian spin that doesn’t suck, check out Ted Dekker. His books “House” and “Showdown” are both being produced by Lionsgate, and nether book sucked as bad as this movie.
The Ultimate Movie Review! – http://tss5078.blogspot.com – @tss5078 – From T2 to modern day B-Movie star, Edward Furlong continues to be mesmerizing on the big screen. His performance in The Visitation was amazing and overlooked, because of its small budget and direct-to-video status. This film is what every horror movie aspires to be, truly scary! There are no blood or guts in this film, but what it does have is a great story and talented cast. A man shows up in the small town of Antioch and starts performing miracles, but for what purpose? He quickly wins over most of the local people, but not all of them. The story follows this friction to an unbelievable conclusion. The Visitation isn’t just a scary story, it’s actually got a plot. I wasn’t expecting to like it as much as I did.
