Another movie with attractive females and atrocious dialogue. A cast that makes the movie seem intriguing, but falls short as predictable, and improbable.
For some unknown reason in a horror film, nobody believes the witness. We have to always assume this cardinal rule in cheesy horror, but it has even progressed into mainstream studios.
After Billy Cole (Derek Rydall) witnesses his overweight history teacher murder a prostitute (Shannon Tweed), the local police department is uncertain what to believe. I mean the murder happened as stated, at the address stated, in the fashion as the witness stated. But the only question that arises from the police department is "is he telling the truth" scenario, in regards to the identity of the satanic killer. To make things worst, Billy keeps attending the satanic teachers classes, as if nothing had happened. I mean, which parents would allow their child to go to class, knowing their son had witnessed a murder? Would they not fear retaliation by the killer is highly probable? Would the police not hold the identified killer in custody, at least until a trial was set? I mean, they had an EYEWITNESS to a murder!
The lead actor Derek Rydall is about as bad an actor I've seen in 42 years of my life. Boring, predictable, and unfunny. With actors like Alan Garfield, Michael J Pollard, and Elliot Gould, you'd think the people who made this stinker would utilize them better. It's as if they give this movie a glimmer of hope, in a movie badly needing a lead character.
Night Visitor is a unique film that's filled with potential, but falls short in dialogue, budget, and direction. It just didn't work out. Being a directorial debut, isn't enough of an excuse for this implausible bomb.
