    Storyline

    Edit
    • Trivia
      In the movie The Saint, Val Kilmer (in one of his disguises) refers to himself as "a traveler".
    • Goofs
      Supposedly, Mary Black was alone when she was abducted. Yet, the photo of Mary on her father's desk seems to have been taken on the same day in the same outfit in the same spot where the abduction took place, as verified by flash images of the crime.
    • Quotes

      Mr. Nobody: It's ironic, isn't it? The Old Testament had a wrathful God, but people became uneasy with the concept, needed a best seller, so they came up with a New Testament. Suddenly God was loving and forgiving. I'm old-school, myself. I prefer the Old Testament. I mean you've got to love a God who's not afraid to mete out a little vengeance when the need arises.

    T' was the Night before Christmas... and Val Kilmer crashed the party
    The poster image displayed here, with Val Kilmer holding a gun, is quite misleading. His character never uses a gun. He doesn't need one. The poster also raises the false impression that "The Traveler" is an action movie/thriller in the vein of "Assault on Precinct 13", but instead it's a supernatural horror movie. It has quite a lot in common with "Let Us Prey", but this modest B-movie is four years older.

    Set on Christmas Eve, for no particular reason, a mysterious stranger - Kilmer - enters a small-town police precinct and announces that he has committed six murders. He doesn't have fingerprints and a few of the six police officers recognize him as the drifter they almost tortured to death about a year ago because they assumed he was responsible for the kidnapping of Detective Black's daughter. Whenever the stranger, who refers to himself as Mr. Nobody, confesses a vicious murder, it actually takes place with one of the officers as a victim.

    The plot of "The Traveler" is original and predictable, but director Michael Oblowitz deserves credit for generating tension and atmosphere. Especially during the first half, when Kilmer's character is still silent, mysterious, often whistling an ominous tune, the film is reasonably uncanny. The kills are extremely violent, with the special effects supervisor clearly having a fetish for intestines flying around. The third and final act is dreadful, though, with a plot twist that pretty much ruins everything that happened and a fake & forced "happy" ending.
