Frank (Begqvist) is an ad executive from New York who buys a new house and Sweden and moves his family there. While fixing up the house, strange things begin to happen. While trying to hang wallpaper that keeps falling off the wall, Frank sees footprints in the attic that lead to a locked door. He's sure he is hearing voices on the other side of the door but his wife Sarah (Endre) looks at him like he is crazy. Frustrated, Frank calls in a ghost expert that also runs an occult magazine to help him investigate. The two talk endlessly about haunting's and ghosts but we never see a thing. Sarah gets so annoyed with her crazy drinking husband she leaves him. Frank is stuck with the kids and the implied ghosts. Sarah has a nightmare that makes her run back to her family in time for Frank's final showdown with the ghosts. The problem is what Ghosts? The movie speaks of ghosts it's entire running time, and is on the verge of something happening the entire film and it delivers nothing! 'The Visitors' is flat out boring. With no ghosts, suspense, atmosphere, or chills of any kind this film is completely forgettable. There isn't even any cheap gore spilled, but the American dubbing could be an all time low. The last thing the world needed was a bad boring Swedish haunted house film and that is exactly what this lifeless turkey is.
