A young Swedish woman, Hanna, comes home to her apartment for the evening. After a rather foreboding conversation with one of her friends involving recent disappearances in the area, and an old Native American boarding school that was burned down, she settles in to a seemingly hum-drum close of day.
After hearing some strange noises, Hanna pauses her preparations for bed and goes to investigate other areas of her apartment. Ominous signs seem just beyond Hanna’s awareness, and she returns to her bedroom and goes to sleep.
Her slumbers don’t last long however, and she wakes after a terrifying dream. Things take a horrifying turn for the worse as it becomes more apparent that someone – or something – has crept into her apartment.
The Visitor is writer/producer/director Ian Kane’s debut film, and features Sara Hedgren, a very talented Swedish actor and model, as Hanna. Mr. Kane has recently completed a screenplay for a feature length film which ties into The Visitor, called The Black Sigil. This will be the first of a planned trilogy of creeping horror in the same vein as works from H.P. Lovecraft and M.R. James.
The Visitor film is currently off to film festivals here in Los Angeles, and then abroad nationally and internationally.

Additional Notes
“If this trailer seems a little vague, it was designed to be that way. Modern American audiences expect to see pretty much all of the major events that happen in a film; main plot elements, pivotal characters meeting their demise, clear shots of the main baddy/monster, etc. When I watch trailers now, especially for horror and action films, I really don’t need to go and see the movie anymore; I’m good.
I take the opposite tact and adhere to the proverbial less is more philosophy; especially when it comes to horror. What you don’t see is much scarier than what you do. It also forces people to engage their imaginations a tad more. That’s good, in these days of expected instant gratification and minuscule attention spans. Plus, when you finally do see who or what the malevolent force is in the film, it has much more impact.”
