Released in 2005, The Visitation is a supernatural thriller based on Frank Peretti's best selling book.
The film begins with Travis Jordan, a former minister who's wife was slain in a brutal satanic-like ritual. Three years have passed, and miracles are happening in the town of Antioch, people surviving sure death car crashes, restoring the ability to walk, ect. as well as the arrival of a mysterious stranger who is highly reminiscent of Jesus Christ. But when things begin to become dark, and the towns obsession with the stranger soon turns to a cult following, drawing in all around it. The situation becomes clear that all is not all is what it seems. Travis then begins an investigation of the stranger and takes him on a thrill ride into the depths of a dark secret, as well as the evil that has come to their town.
Featuring the likes of Randy Travis, Martin Donovan, and Edward Furlong, The Visitation certainly has all the performance you could hope for. the story itself is stedfast and totally consuming, not to mention the film being full the great dark elements we have come to know and love from all of Frank Peretti's work. All in all this film drives home and has one of the most powerful climaxes one could hope to see, and is defiantly a good watch.
