Well, I wasn't really sure what I was getting into here, as I sat down in 2021 to watch the 2019 horror movie "ReVisitant". I had never heard about the movie, and I must admit that title of the movie was a bit silly. But still, with it being a horror movie that I hadn't already seen, of course I found the time to sit down to watch this movie from writers Jon Binkowski and Stephen DeWoody.
And while "ReVisitant" is a watchable movie and mildly entertaining, it was by no means a milestone in horror cinema. The movie, as directed by Jon Binkowski, was running on what felt like auto-pilot. The script and storyline was pretty linear and didn't really offer much of any shocks or surprises. And actually, for a horror movie then "ReVisitant" was a bit on the tame same.
The storyline was pretty straight forward, I will say that much. But writers Jon Binkowski and Stephen DeWoody weren't really venturing into unknown territory with what they delivered in terms of script and storyline here. So if you are a seasoned horror veteran, such as myself, then "ReVisitant" comes off as a bit mundane and generic.
The acting in the movie was actually fair enough, though I doubt it is performances that I will be remembering a week from now. But the cast were doing good enough jobs with the material they had to work with.
I mentioned earlier that this horror movie was a bit tame. And it is. There isn't anything overly scary throughout the course of the movie. Some of the effects were adequate, but they weren't exactly scary.
Ultimately, then "ReVisitant" is a less than mediocre foray into the horror genre. I am rating it a four out of ten stars. It is good enough for a single viewing, provided you are not expecting a grand horror experience here.
