The Visitor

The Visitor (Stridulum, 1979) is a deliriously strange Italian-American horror you can watch online on iFILM. An ancient cosmic warrior lands on Earth with one target: an eight-year-old girl named Katy who carries a power that isn't remotely human.

A wealthy stranger named Raymond romances Katy's widowed mother Barbara, but he's after the child she might one day bear — a vessel meant to carry evil into the next generation. A secret cabal closes in, and little Katy turns out to be far more dangerous than any grown-up in the room.

Director Giulio Paradisi rounded up an astonishing cast — John Huston, Glenn Ford, Shelley Winters, a young Lance Henriksen, with Franco Nero and filmmaker Sam Peckinpah turning up in small roles. This psychedelic mash-up of The Omen, The Exorcist and pulp sci-fi has become a true midnight-movie cult object. Stream The Visitor online on iFILM.
