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

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

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

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.
