Based on an Evangelical novel by Frank Peretti, The Visitation is a cheaply made supernatural thriller about a town suddenly beset by miracles, some apparently the work of a farmhand who might be the Second Coming of Christ. A former pastor and a veterinarian are the unbelievers trying to discover what's really happening. The direction has some ambition, but if the film really wanted to make the truth a surprise, it wouldn't have telegraphed it on the poster, and might have cast someone less creepy as the Messiah. Despite the lack of ambiguity, the film is still pretty effective and never dull. If there's a surprise here, it's that for a Christian film, it is happily free of sermonizing. 6 years 5 months ago
