Pretty Nifty Sci-Thriller / Drama.
Georgia Perry is an ambitious and independent minded Australian woman determined to sail solo around the world. The first several weeks go off without a hitch but as the weeks of loneliness take their toll so do the strangeness. All matters of weird goings on occur such as having conversation s with her cat and dead relatives. But is this just a case of cabin fever or is their something else at play here, maybe something otherworldly? I'll give the authors credit for coming up with an original SciFi / Drama / Thriller hybrid that works on several levels. The direction and photography is pretty dynamic considering that 90% of the running time takes place on a sailboat. On a film like this the lead actor is a core part of the film since they will be the one holding the ship together and Radha Mitchell fits the bill perfectly. She takes us through all the emotions, from familial tragedy to terror; she does a bang up job. Surprisingly there are even some good tension and a boo or two. "Visitors" is an excellent mostly-drama that stays interesting and engaging due to a good script and an excellent lead performance.
Atmospheric but meandering and confusing
The general premise of this film is a time-worn reliable gimmick: the lone woman in jeopardy. In this case, an interesting slow-build up to the main plot device keeps audiences engrossed: a 25 year old adventuress embarks upon a solo sailboat journey around the globe. While suffering through an extended period of being becalmed in tropical waters, she begins to believe she is being visited by ghostly apparitions who intend to kill her. Initially, the plot is intriguing as we wonder whether these nocturnal fears are real or imagined. However, as the film progresses, it deviates from being a straight forward thriller and introduces a lot of awkward goobledy-gook in which our heroine is visited by ghosts of her departed parents, menacing pirates, long dead relatives, and ultimately some over-sized spiders! Before long, the tiny vessel is as crowded as the S.S. Poseidon. The acting is very credible and the photography is also admirable, but director Richard Franklin makes the cardinal sin of showing us far too much of the mysterious visitors and their omnipresent status eventually makes them no more menacing than party guests who refuse to leave even though it's the wee small hours of the morning. The cumbersome screenplay degenerates into a confusing mess, and a completely unsatisfying climax that betrays our expectations that there will be a "sting in the tail" ending that explains most of what has preceded it. In all, a noble effort, but a failed one.
Great Deception
While facing the challenge of sailing alone around the world in one hundred and forty days, the Australian Georgia Perry (Radha Mitchell) fights against the "ghosts" of her life in her loneliness, including an unresolved relationship with her mother and the engagement with her unfaithful fiancé. "Visitors" was a great deception for me. Since "Pitch Black", I have been a fan of the actress Radha Mitchell and I have watched many of her movies. Therefore, I expected that "Visitors" would be a great film. Unfortunately, the confused screenplay, using flashbacks to explain the innermost contradictions and conflicts of the character Georgia Perry, begins with a great atmosphere and very intriguing, but does not work well and in the end makes the movie sometimes boring and messy. The idea is good, but the screenplay is horrible. My vote is five. Title (Brazil): "Visitors"
Visitors: Entertaining little movie
This Australian horror caught me by surprise, what I mean by that is I'd never heard of it so my expectations were low and doubly the type of horror movie it is rarely manages to entertain. It tells the story of Georgia Perry a 25yr old Australian girl intent on sailing around the world solo. It stars Radha Mitchell and Dominic Purcell and is actually really quite good. Mitchell carries the movie well considering she makes up the bulk of the film. It is well structured, genuinely tense and though not scary it certainly makes up for it in other areas. It looks great, the cast do a solid job and despite the ropey ending I walked away suitably impressed. The Good: Highly original Well written Great setting The Bad: Questionable ending Not for everyone Things I Learnt From This Movie: Dominic Purcell looks weird with hair A proper horror film with the same setting could be terrifying
Georgia and her mind
This Australian film showed up on cable recently. Not knowing anything about it, we took a chance that paid well. Directed by Richard Franklin, this film is a psychological study of the mind of a young woman who has lived a tragic life and her only escape is going to the sea in search of adventure. Georgia Perry, when we first meet her, is seen going through the preparations for a solo voyage around the world. This has only been accomplished by a few before her. We meet her boyfriend, Luke, who gets her into accepting to be sponsored by a cosmetic firm. The only problem being that the yacht's name must be changed into the sponsor's a bad omen for sailors. Next, we see Ms. Perry going on her voyage with her cat as the only companion. Georgia suddenly gets stuck in tropical waters where there is no air to propel her sails out of that rough spot. It is at this moment that Georgia begins experiencing the visitations. We realize they are only happening in her mind, but Mr. Franklin makes us believe these apparitions are real. Georgia must battle with her dead mother, who will not leave her alone. Evidently, Carolyn Perry was a tormented soul, probably caused by the tragic accident that rendered her husband impotent and bound to a wheel chair. Georgia battles all her demons in the yacht. At the end, one sees the vessel coming to the finishing line, but surprise, surprise, Georgia turns around to the open sea. In a way, this is her liberating point. That scene alone will leave many viewers confused. Rhada Mitchell does a great Georgia. Her hallucinations seem so real, we worry for her life. Susannah York plays Carolyn, the mother. Ms. York is not seen as often as one must like these days, so she is a welcome addition to the film. Ray Barrett plays the father and Dominic Purcell the boyfriend. A film that was a total surprise made more enjoyable by Mr. Franklin's direction.
