Visitors

I only bought it for Rhada Mitchell. I may be overly favored towards her, but I buy the movies that she's in.They could be terrible, but if she's in it, I want it. This particular one was very good because it was all her.

Excelent work ..play for Radha..

bad quality, 30 days delivery

Rahda Mitchell (Rogue) is pretty much the only person on the screen for most of the scenes in Visitors, as she plays a woman hoping to join the small number of female sailors to sail solo around the world. It's an obvious low budget film, at no time do you really ever believe this boat is in the middle of the ocean, it seems to be a very calm flooded sound stage. There's no waves or anything on this journey. There's also an obvious green screen behind actors when we're looking up from the boat. For a sailor she doesn't do much sailing, we mostly find her not on deck, but down in the cabin being sledged by her talking cat.Basically the movie isn't so much about her voyage, as I said we don't see her do much sailing, it's more about her mental health as cabin fever sets in and other threats possibly real or imagined threaten the safety of an attractive woman out on the ocean by herself. Dominc Purcell (Prison Break) is pretty much unrecognisbale compared to his break out TV show role and average telemovie career afterwards, the movie is worth checking out just to see this guy with long hair, no fake American accent and talking in a normal voice, not the gruff I'm a tough guy one he is now known for.

Visitors (Richard Franklin, 2003)This movie is getting no love at IMDB, and I'm not terribly sure why. Perhaps the raters over there are used to more highbrow fare; I watched this the week after watching Ghost Ship, and comparison between the two seems unavoidable. In every way, Visitors comes out on top.During a round-the-world solo sailing race, Georgia Perry (Pitch Black's Radha Mitchell) runs into a calm patch (we eventually find out she's just a few days from the end of the race at this time, so she's already been at sea for roughly six months with only a cat for company). While stuck in the doldrums, Perry has to fight off a bout of isolation-induced insanity where she hallucinates visitations from important people in her life-- her dead mother (Susannah York), her ailing father (Prisoners of the Sun's Ray Barrett), and various others, while having to worry about running across a pirated tanker, and having her only contact with other humans come from radio contact with her fiancee Luke (Blade: Trinity's Dominic Purcell) and Rob (Christopher Kirby, recently seen in Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith), the radioman on a freighter who are coincidentally on the same course.Radha Mitchell is not only drop-dead gorgeous, but is one of those exceptionally talented and yet underrated actors who never seen to get nearly enough work (while Julia Roberts, at twenty million a flick, is working more than ever). It is her performance that truly carries this picture, though many of the minor cast also turn in reasonable performances (Purcell, especially, is appropriately slimy, and Susannah York delivers the kind of role that explains why she was so in demand in the seventies). The film's climax begs comparison with that of Ghost Ship, and while it's cheesy, in comparison it's wildly understated; the denouement is a tad on the "girl-power!" side, but is still thoroughly fitting.A fun way to kill ninety minutes, and well worth it for a glimpse of Radha Mitchell's charms. *** ½

Some of our most inane fears come not from outside, but from within our own minds. "Visitors" is a psychological thriller that examines a woman on the brink of madness and insanity as she struggles to fight her own personal demons while in complete isolation. She, as well as us viewers, are continuously faced with one nagging question throughout this film: "Is the threat real or is it imagined"?Georgia Perry is 25 years old and an avid sailor. She sets herself on the biggest challenge of all: Sailing around the world non-stop. The rules are that she is not allowed any company except for her cat, must not ever set foot on land and have no contact with the outside world except with her boyfriend by radio transmission. The journey is expected to take about 5 months.By the time "Visitors" begins, Georgia is already about ¾ of the way around the world and seems to be doing just fine, except for the occasional bouts of loneliness. Throughout the film, we see clips of Georgia's life before she decided to set sail. All indications point to a happy life and fine relationship with her parents and her lover. And then the noises begin...At night while trying to sleep, she hears footsteps on the deck, and distant voices. Her cat talks to her. Her dead mom pays a visit. Slowly but surely, Georgia is going insane. And the flashbacks get darker and darker. At first the flashbacks were all happy but as the film progresses we are shown clips of Georgia's past that indicate her life was far from the rosy picture painted on earlier. It is this sudden transformation from happy sane Georgia to tormented soul Georgia that makes the film as creepy as it is. The descent into madness is not sudden, but gradual.What "Visitors" lacks in action and pacing it more than makes up for with atmosphere, atmosphere that changes as Georgia's mood changes. The bright blue sky, crystal clear water and warm sunshine of the opening sequences are quickly replaced with the violent roar of the sea, pitch black darkness and dense fog as Georgia's feelings of dread increase. Aussie actress Rhada Mitchell pretty much has to carry the picture by herself, and does a fine job. One of the challenges I found of watching this film is that it's so weirded out and hallucinatory that we are left to wonder what is real and what's not, and are never offered any explanation, not even at film's end. The appearance of Georgia's dead mother as a hallucination is a given, but how about the boatload of pirates? Or the aborigenese midnight lover? If not real, then how come Georgia woke up with a hickey? All in all, a fine little film but not for those looking for coherence or logic. It's not one of those films where the pieces fall neatly in place by the end. Whether the threat is real or imagined is up to the viewer to decide.

Man hätte mehr daraus machen können und am Ende des Films fragt man sich, was das eigentlich alles sollte; vor allem wieso sie wieder umkehrt und zurück aufs Meer fährt.Schauspielerich stellt die Darstellerin natürlich alle anderen an die Wand, die noch im Film mitspielen. Ihre Mutter ängstigte mich wenig und ihr Vater war einfach nicht überzeugend. Schockmomente gab es nicht - jedenfalls bin ich nirgends zusammengezuckt. Und welche Rolle spielten die Wasserspinnen, die auf das Schiff kamen um dann gleich wieder verschwanden ? - die waren schön ekelig, aber hatten im Film nur eine beiläufige Rolle.Sie bekommt Hinweise von ihrem Vater und von einem schwarzen Funker, geht diesen aber nicht nach - den letzten Hinweis Ihres Freundes, kurz bevor sie in den Hafen einläuft und sich die Mutter wieder blicken lässt, und man denkt, jetzt kommt der Showdown, geht sie garnicht nach.FazitEin Film, der an einem vorbeisegelt, ohne richtig zu berühren.
