The Visitor
Directed by Giulio Paradisi
Of the many post-EXORCIST horror films centered around evil children, none is more of a must-see than 1979’s THE VISITOR. Katy Collins looks just like any other normal 8-year-old, but appearances can be dangerously deceptive. Turns out, Katy is the incarnation of an ancient evil entity named Sateen who’s out to do some serious damage–unless a mysterious visitor (John Huston) can stop her first! Long out of print, VHS copies of THE VISITOR were passed around between cult-movie fanatics for dozens of years before Drafthouse Films released this stunning uncut restoration. Contains violence and gore.
At first glance, Katy Collins is just like any other normal 8-year-old girl – but appearances can dangerously deceptive. As it turns out, Katy is the Earthly incarnation of an ancient evil by the name of Sateen.
Cast: Mel Ferrer, Glenn Ford, Lance Henriksen, John Huston, Shelley Winters

um, beautiful gowns...
Wasn't a fan. Cool visuals, though.
what can i say im a sucker for cool posters. dont let this snooze fest trick you though.
PROS: Some of the scenes have beautiful imagery and symbolism. CONS: I'm not sure what story this film was trying to tell, but it wasn't one worth telling. It barely qualifies as a horror, and seemed like a battle of good vs. evil, except all the major characters felt morally questionable at best.
This movie is FIRE. You're losing money if you don't watch this.
