When a film knocks the socks of you over 30 years after it was made, you'd normally think it's a praised classic. As I understood it, this movie was released outside Sweden with limited resources and an english dub that really didn't do the film justice. In it's swedish version you get to hear the real voices of the actors who deliver first class acting both when it comes to humour and tension. Kjell Bergqvist is INCREDIBLE in this one. Even the kids in the movie act as if it wasn't a movie. Also worth nothing is the photography, direction and not least the sound effects that has to be among the best ever in a horror movie, I am not kidding. Severely underrated horror film that deserves an HD international release with its original audio (take note Synapse or Arrow Video). Prepare to get the chills!
Review of The Visitors
The Visitors
(1988)
One of the best ghost movies from the 80's, but has to be seen in Swedish.
