When this news hit my inbox this morning, my heart initially sank. Not for anything to do with this particular film, but because I initially feared someone was remaking the absolutely miserable 1989 Night Visitor. That film, an infamously shameless attempt to remake Rear Window using the same exact template of Tom Holland’s Fright Night, is best forgotten and I should be ashamed of even mentioning it in passing.
Thankfully, my fears weren’t warranted, and director Jennifer Blanc’s The Night Visitor sounds pretty damn cool. This amalgamation of horror and science fiction centers around a mother (Brianne Davis) and her efforts to protect her six-year-old son from a malevolent alien. XTRO re-imagined as a found footage horror movie, perhaps?
God, I hope so.
The Night Visitor is currently filming in Los Angeles. Keep your eyes glued to this spot for all the latest and greatest on this offering.
