Holstra Boring, long, and too preachy.

BoardChiri Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

Myron Clemons A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

bobprice101 90's sci fi TV movies always make me apprehensive of exposure to formulaic story lines. However, Visitors of the Night contains sufficient originality and intrigue even by 2016 standards, to have kept me watching through to the end. This was partly because the characters were easy to relate while the acting kept things interesting by making the most of the writing. One good thing about the writing is that it never loses its way or goes off on a different tangent to attempt to capture more interest.By focusing on the primary story line the writer manages to generate a very focused plot.Provided you are not expecting to be kept riveted to your seat, and simply want something easy that will not challenge you, Visitors of the Night is better than many rival TV movies and worth watching.

bursegsardaukar Judith English has constant nightmares whenever she goes to bed. Then her daughter, Katie, started to disappear and return hours later with strange marks on her body. In school, Kate drew sketches of crop circles not knowing that a similar crop circle had appeared the day before.Under hypnosis, Judith found out that she was abducted by aliens when she was a child and then again when she was three months pregnant. Judith soon began to suspect that Katie was also abducted by aliens.Close to the ending of the movie, Judith was taken into the alien spaceship and was shown an alien/human hybrid baby. The aliens then explained that they want to combine human emotions with their intelligence to create a better world. But it was not working, the hybrids are dying. Judith explains that babies cannot be separated from their mothers and they need to be touched and loved.The movie ends when both Judith and Katie were both abducted from their house.

BlackMonk If you like drama, there's not enough of it in this movie to intrigue you. If you like suspense, you'll certainly not suspend your nap as this movie "progresses." If you appreciate science fiction, there's precious little science and even less imaginative fiction to warrant watching this mess. In other words: this movie has nothing for everyone.Spunky Candace Cameron Bure (she played the oldest daughter in the TV series, "Full House.") plays Katie English, a somewhat rebellious child (she can't even act rebellious), is repeatedly abducted by aliens, draws some pictures of it, and yells at her mother (the lovely Markie Post). But Mother, after being hypnotized, recognizes these tell-tale signs in her daughter, including puncture marks that looked like they were inflicted by a tri-fanged vampire, that remind her of her own alien abductions. There's a lot of crying, arguing, yelling, etc., and the movie deftly meanders, whining forth for over 2 hours.Our little "Rebel" also prances atop a figurative soapbox a couple of times, spouting environmental doomsday pap. This has absolutely nothing to do with the plot of the movie, but was apparently put there for the viewers "benefit" and "education." This 1995 script has Katie telling her classmates how "civilization as we know it" will collapse by the year 2000 (The same drivel that teachers back in 1980 told children would happen before 1990; the same claptrap that's vomited in classrooms across America today). Finally the viewer gets to see the aliens. These entities are the quintessential mouthless, big-eyed, naked, mind-communicating creatures we've come to expect. But that's okay, they're a welcome relief in the movie. Yes, they're a welcome relief, but they are, however, rather incompetent scientists: they can't get their experiments right. But nonetheless I couldn't help but feel sorry for them for having repeatedly abducted such crybabies as specimens. In fact, I kept hoping they'd abduct me so that I wouldn't have to finish watching this horrible movie.I strongly recommend that you neither rent the video release, nor watch this movie should it again rear it's boring head on TV.

bob wolf When her daughter mysteriously disappears for a few hours, Judith English(Post) decides to confront her greatest fears and investigate what is happening. She realizes that her daughter is experiencing the same thing that she experienced as a little girl, abduction by aliens. While watching Visitors of the Night, I found myself thinking how the film was like an extension of another film, Intruders. Both films take a serious look at the topic of alien abductions and both films concern a main character who believes she may or may not have been impregnated with an alien/human hybrid.Although, unlike Intruders, the film takes a detour into the implausible near the end when Post's character begins to suspect that her daughter might not be what she seems. Without giving anything away, the ending doesn't tend to ruin the whole film.Director, Jorge Montesi offers up another creepy outing that ufo enthusiasts will appreciate. Trivia buffs will note that Montesi would follow up this film with another ufo-related film a year later, Night Visitors.
