Review of The Night Visitor (1971) by Joe M — 26 Jul 2018
Relatively gripping suspense film about a man accused of murder, found criminally insane and the vengeance he then wrecks on those who are really guilty. A lot - and I mean a lot - of implausible elements, yet manages to keep you on the edge of your seat.
That is, up until the totally ridiculous ending. Great performances by von Sydow,, Ulmann and Howard. And the barrenness of the Danish winter and the snugness of the homes gives the film an alternating earthy and claustrophobic look.
Well worth seeing.
