With just five characters, this film is more or less entertaining, although it seems of been an episode of a TV series that should have lasted about 45 minutes, but that the writers stretched it to fit into the format of a feature film.
Thus, the lack of synthesis and the excessive length of some scenes make interest decline as the outcome approaches. The story is a typical cat-and-mouse trap and as soon as the chase is raised, the rhythm of the plot, instead of stimulating viewer's attention, collapses to a very predictable ending.
In this way, the visit becomes more of a lethargy than a surprise. Correctly acted by an efficient cast, however, it has its greatest weakness in the participation of Eric Robert. The veteran actor plays again his own person and grandiloquently recites his lines, as if his performance depended not on a director but on himself.
It can be seen but you have to make a great effort to avoid falling asleep.
Spoiler
In the fourth act, a woman's leg sustains a deep wound that requires a strong tourniquet to stop the bleeding. But in the following shots, the character, as if by magic, is already recovered and doesn't even limp holding a shotgun.
