With its intriguing premise, an illustrious cast of actors, and a truly creepy score from the great Henry Mancini, THE NIGHT VISITOR should have been at least a minor classic of the thriller genre. Unfortunately, an underdeveloped story takes it down a few notches. I think the supporting characters could have used a bit more development than they get, for instance. However, the wintry atmosphere creates a lovely desolate tone and it is fun to watch the cat and mouse game between Max von Sydow and Trevor Howard.
