"The Visitation" (somewhat naff tagline: 'Darkness Has A Face - Horror Has A Name') starts off with mysterious appearances and visitations from three strangers carrying the Biblical-sounding messages "do not be afraid" and "He is coming". They precede the appearance of a farm-hand who begins to heal the sick and hold religious revivals in a barn, causing some consternation within the the local religious community leadership about how to respond to something that's become far more popular than any of their churches. In the end just the hero and a catholic priest remain skeptical, and so it's down to them to sort out the mess when the Messiah turns out not to be what he seems.
This is an OK film that starts out better than it carries on, with the somewhat tubby farmhand being rather unconvincing, either as the Messiah or anything darker, and the demons who show up easily dispatched by someone muttering "In Christ's name I exorcise thee."
A fairly standard good versus evil yarn though a fairly well-done film if a bit disappointing towards the end.

Delivery and condition excellent. The DVD itself was a little disappointing after reading the book first. I prefer the imagination to run riots rather than seeing it. The fight between good and evil; the way our past can rule out future if that is allowed; the deception of evil portraying itself as good; the need to question faith. All dealt with in this DVD but with a Stephen King edge

The Visitation took me a little by surprise as I thought it would be set in the early years of settlement by Europeans in North America. It is actually set in modern day good old USA in a town called Antioch, where it would not take much for religous fervour to quickly go out of control. One of the main characters Travis is a former preacher who has lost their faith in God due to his wife being murdered some 3 years earlier. Strange things start happening in the town and strangers keep appearing looking very sinister. Edward Furlong who looks as though he has spent a lot of time in the burger bar since Terminator 2 is the mysterious young man who is at the centre of the strange happenings in the town. Eventually he is hailed as a messiah who can perform miracles, but the sinister strangers seem to be either his disciples or protectors. So as Clint Eastwood once said you have to ask yourself one question, is he good or evil.
I liked the film as it did not take take itself to seriously and there were not loads of indiscriminent killing like you get in some horror films where the body count piles up scene after scene. So yes I thought the £5.00 or so I paid for this film was worth it as at some point I will probably watch this film again.
