Here's a 'Christian movie' that's an embarrassment to a genre that doesn't exactly have a reputation for producing great art.

All I can do is quote our hero Travis' statement to Kyle, "Spare me the clichés".

This is clearly a Christian-tempered horror movie, but it is a horror movie first and foremost, with all the worst hokum and silliness the genre often embraces.

The first half of The Visitation moves slowly and surely, building an appropriate level of edgy suspense before disintegrating into standard horror-flick clichés.

The screenplay by Brian Godawa does a pretty decent job of keeping the viewer guessing until the second half of the movie, when the demonic source of these "miracles" is finally revealed. From then on out it's kind of a hokey horror show...

You could rent it for the religion, the kooky cast, or for the B-movie fun of it.

There's not an awful lot of blood and gore, but the elements of horror and suspense are definitely there and Henson does a great job of bringing them to the fore.
