It’s a dark, stormy night, and a young woman knocks at Patrick’s door. It isn’t clear how she entered the mobile park he lives in, considering the gate is locked, but with the storm raging, Patrick lets her in, and as the night wears on, lies are exchanged, and there is a need to question if one of the two might be in danger.
Character Descriptions
Please Note: This character guide is not an exhaustive list of every cast member, and character descriptions may contain what can be considered spoilers.
Patrick
Patrick is a divorced and poor man who once was an electrician. However, a few odd moments led him to mostly live in solitude, outside of when someone chooses to engage him.
The Visitor
Depending on the moment, she was at the beach or a bar. She may have a house nearby, or maybe a hotel? Allegedly she walked the many miles there were from the beach to Patrick’s RV, but with the Visitor, it is hard to say what’s the truth.
Review
Our Rating: Positive (Worth Seeing)
Highlights
The Sounds, Light, and Ambiance
With nearly the entire film taking place in the RV, it makes every bit of noise, a flash of light, and even the darkness notable. When Patrick moves throughout the RV, as the Visitor showers or discovers something, it makes your pupils focus tightly on what may come next. As things go quiet, you expect for what all horror movies do, and want to lower your gaze.
Everything this film does sets a tone that provides the foundation for anything to happen and for you to want to know what can and will happen.
The Build And Level Of Wtf
Neither Patrick nor the Visitor are portrayed as being trustworthy. The film utilizes Patrick being this big, burly, awkward man to quickly make you question him, and then as he describes who lives in their RV park? Oh, that just makes him even more suspect. But, the woman, who is walking around barefoot, out in the middle of a storm, somehow in a gated and locked area? It leads you to believe this could be a revenge tale. Especially as she is caught in lies, and you’re pushed to wonder if she is trying to investigate Patrick.
Then comes the moments, usually involving blood, where you find yourself raising an eyebrow higher than The Rock because something is off. All of this makes it so that when you combine the sound, lighting, and the trailer’s look, it becomes hard to know when to duck away to avoid a potential-jump scare. Then, towards the end? You may question what really happened, what could be because Patrick doesn’t sleep much, and maybe even if the Visitor was real.
