THE VISITANTS
Rick Sloane, USA, 1986, All Channel Films, Cult“The single greatest thing I never got to see on USA UP ALL NIGHT.”
— Marna Larsen, LETTERBOXD
The second film from the damaged mind of director Rick Sloane (HOBGOBLINS)! A homage to dimestore mid-century sci-fi, THE VISITANTS is set on Halloween in the 1950s and follows the story of a teenager who steals a ray gun from his bizarro-world neighbors. But oh no! The neighbors are also aliens who are bent on destroying the world! Filled with neon, fog machines, and deranged jokes, THE VISITANTS feels like a live-action mutation of THE JETSONS that was blessed by the coked-out excess of 1986.
