Repost: The Visitor (December 7th at the Cedar Lee Theatre)

[THE VISITOR screens Saturday December 7th at 11:59 pm at the Cedar Lee Theatre. One show only!]


Review by Bob Ignizio

Much is being made in the publicity for the theatrical re-release of THE VISITOR about how the world of 1979 just wasn't ready for such an out-to-lunch epic. The truth is, it feels perfectly at home alongside other Eurotrash imports of the late 70's/early 80's with Italian filmmakers wrangling international casts of fading stars. Like Lucio Fulci's THE BEYOND or Enzo G. Castellari's 1990: THE BRONX WARRIORS, Giulio Paradisi (aka “Michael Paradise”)'s THE VISITOR takes ideas from recent hit films and adds the sort of stylish visuals and batshit incoherency that lets you know within the first five minutes that is the hallmark of Italian exploitation films of this vintage.
