The Visitor (1979)
3/10
See claptrap raised to glory

Back in 1956 the movie world was shocked by The Bad Seed with Patty McCormack's role as a truly evil and amoral child. It took 23 years to find a cure for one of these bad seeds in The Visitor.

In The Visitor the bad girl is played by Paige Connor who also has telekinesis powers now. But folks far far away are taking note. John Huston has arrived from a kind of rehab camp for bad children and he means to take her away. But there are forces on earth who want to keep her here doing all kinds of evil deeds.

The Visitor is quite the mess of a film not wanting to get classified as fantasy, horror or science fiction. Some prominent names do some roles her and have all the satisfied look as people whose paychecks have cleared.

John Huston must know how his father Walter must have felt when he was doing The Outlaw for Howard Hughes. John as an actor had this great voice and when he was doing claptrap he could make it sound like The Bard.
