THE NIGHT VISITOR (1971) Full Crime/horror Movie - Max von Sydow, Trevor Howard, Liv Ullmann 

This was a great movie. Held my attention from start to finish.The ending was superb.

Who knew Max von Sydow was such a physical actor? It looked as if he did most of his own stunts. Amazing.

Wow, the ending! Thank goodness!!! That was quite a rollercoaster ride! It all seemed so hopeless! This was a good one!

Damn, what a great movie. Von Sydow and Trevor Howard were wonderful, and the supporting cast was excellent. I'd say more but I wouldn't want to inadvertently insert any spoilers. The thing about picking out movies based only on title or who is in it, is that sometimes one finds a gem like this, a veritable Hope diamond of a film.

So exciting ! How nostalgic I feel to come across this movie again! Thanks a lot !

Excellent upload!!! I saw this on TVs in the mid-70's! I stayed up late with my Mum and.we watched it together! Fantastic to see it again!!!

The ending was so clever!!!

Watching from Ho Chi Minh City Vietnam, can’t believe such a suspenseful outstanding movie. Looking forward to the end result. Thank you all respectfully Leo.

The parrot was genius. Thanks

Simply a Magnificient movie ! What a plot , Ingenious ! Sydow was Master, Howard a great one & Liv always a talented beauty! The parrot was Awesome ! Thanks so much for this gem

Knocks you off balance from the beginning; dizzying, frightening, tense, disturbing. Takes you on a twisting turning unsettling journey. Another masterful thriller from the 70's. Engrossing, impossible to turn away from. Liv, Max, and Trevor are in top form; hypnotic, masterfully crafted, and completely unpredictable characters. Everybody shines, not least of which the guy who plays Anton. What a ride!? Thanks so much! Much love from Santa Cruz California. GREAT film!

I never felt so cold in my life!!!

More most any movie, this one makes the improbable wholly believable. Kudos to the whole cast!

Top actors and well directed.

Superb, Bergman meets Hitchcock!

Every one should see this film as the story is marvelous and the actors the same

Excellente El Presidente ! And if young Max did all that action himself, then he clearly had balls of Swedish stainless-steel !

Watching from Pennsylvania USA 🇺🇸 this is a really good movie

Did von Sydow not play a game of chess with Death to walk away with his life? That was quite wonderful. I don't recall if he won. Very great accomplishment if he did.

Always lovedLiv Ulman .Bless her

MAX VON SYDOW is very good in this😮 Thank You Very Much...

❤❤❤ qué buenos actores Trevor y Max....muy buen film excelente... thanks

Another masterpiece from an era that continues to be challenged from contemporary entertainment..

1970 Was One Of Those Splendid Years For Horror Films And Films In General...I Love That Thia Film Took Place In Winter...He Must Gave Been Freezing In Just TShirt & Shorts...

Topnotch flick. Brilliant ending. Very original story line. Tight all the way through. 10 outta 10

Definitely kept you guessing, how and what was going to happen next. Storyline was original to me, and I have reviewed a lot. Great movie.

Max as the lunatic murderer is much more superb comparing to his the professional killer part in "Three Days of Condor"!

Great movie from start to finish. Thank You VCICM very much for posting it.

God I loved the 70's!

I'll be honest I started to watch this film on the TV many years ago and gave up on it quite early, wish I had'nt done so! What terrific film it is, the storyline is very good and the actors are really on top of their game, I should have stayed with back the day because it's brillant throughou!

So I watched this in full last night and I'm still cogitating on it. I wont spoil the story for others, but that ending ? The creators must think we are lunatics to believe what happened haha Good film though, but what do you expect from a stellar cast of actors. I see now from the comments that it was actually filmed in Sweden and Holland, it was blowing my mind during the film, but I couldn't get my head around all the English speaking and what looked suspiciously like an English Police force....bonkers 😂

no credits for the parrot ???

Max was a real head case, breaks into the house in his underwear in winter opens a wardrobe full of clothes and takes a tie, what a prat.

Great find.

Riveting, and so immersive that I expected frigid weather here in the summer when I stepped outside. What a cast! Liv Ullman, Max von Sydow, and themes of insanity in barren Scandinavia are also prevalent in "The Passion of Anna" from about the same year.

Awesome!!!

Remember seeing this as part of a triple bill at the drive-in when I was 10. It ran with Play Misty For Me & Hitchcock’s Frenzy. I grew up a little that night.

الفلم تحفه فنيه لا تفوتك مشاهدته وخاصة نهاية الفلم اروع ما شاهدت great movie

Thanks…what a gem,got any more as great?❤❤❤❤😊😊😊

Great movie! Greetings from Evergreen, Montana, USA. ❤❤❤

Filmed March 1970 Sweden and Denmark.

El abogado estaba a centímetros de una pulmonía, pero Salem saliendo de noche en pleno invierno y casi desnudo, ni un resfriado... :) Buena película. Saludos.

Parrot should get an Oscar . For an axe wielding murderer he is very savvy . Prisons in Sweden should be given a lick of paint ! . Excellent movie 😊 . Thanks. Dave

Brilliant movie! Thank You ❤

Thank you!

I remember seeing this little know film when it came out as a kid. Haven’t seen it since. Definitely going to have a watch. Thanks for the post.

Excellent. Iconic film. Thank you for allowing us to enjoy.Cheers from Toronto!

superb. never seen a film with an atmosphere like this.

Instead of visiting asylum himself ,the inspector could have made a call to find out whether the suspect was present in the cell....the investigators seemed too slow...

I'm so glad you posted this. THIS IS FKG CLAASSSIC!! Saw it a number of times, gonna watch it again, thx.

Roaming around the forest in Winter in Scandinavia . In his underwear..? He'd be lucky to survive for more than 45 minutes..!

The parrot saved the day .

Productor Mel Ferrer....no le sabía esa faceta a este consagrado actor ❤

Excellent movie! Kept you revitted to the screen !

To be in a asylum close so your family's home is unbelievable. And the parents aren't hysterical over the death of their daughter, nor, the sister over her sister's death? And the police inspector leaving a crime scene unsecured? A unusual movie in a bleak winter setting. Great actors. What a ending!

I know it's a minor detail, but as someone from Denmark I find it so odd how the farmhouse is clearly a Danish farmhouse while the asylum is typical Swedish. Scandinavian actors speaking English is also another funny element of this film. I suppose the film was primarily funded by British cash.

Great movie! I just loved the ending. 👍

Another fav. of mine ! Thanks for sharing. ♥

Max was young on this

very strange and extremely unlikely ending of the film, in fact the ending with the parrot spoiled an otherwise not bad film 😊

Great film

Loving this, but goodness sakes those are some short shorts.

Liv Ullman Max von sydow Per Oscarsson..three Swedish Actors..the best ❤❤❤

From the comments, I gotta watch this 🎈

Great movie 🍿

GOT to be GOOD with "Maestro Mancini" on The Score! Just Subscibed! ThankYou❤

Great movie.

The police could keep an eye on the asylum to see if he could repeat his escape, at least for a while and tell him that Emmy was saved in the hospital and she’s recovering at home, she’s going through some small memory loss. If the parrot wasn’t there, what? Bad police work? Also, before driving fast and furious to the asylum, he could make a phone call, and ask them to check Salem’s bedroom.

Spoilers: 1. where did Salem get the rope and grappling hook that he gets from under the rowing boat on his return to the asylum? 2. He needed the rope to climb back up the tree to cross the wall, so on his previous trips how did he manage to hide the rope under the boat if he was already on top of the wall? 3. He gets rid of Pops by distracting him with an ugly chess set, so that he can open the cell door. But how did he open the cell door on the other two occasions he got out? He only showed Pops the new set on his third escape.

Nice movie. Liked the short shorts

Good film

The original Hannibal Lecter, nice twist at the end.

Good movie

Que buena pelicula y que final mas inesperado, 100% recomendada,.

Watching from Holland

Great flick

It took me awhile to figure this out. Hi from Jacksonville Florida. It's hot here.

He talked too much! That got him caught. Even then, had the police done their job in the first place these murders would not have happened. ;p Absurd ending. His escapes and returns were ridiculous too. It might have been done but not at that speed. If you keep logic, brain in pocket it is a good timepass. He might have said the bird flew to him. He had wings, did not he?

Henry Mancini!❤

Have often wondered since 1971 why this great suspenseful revenge movie's so rarely presented --- now you know why Father Merrin joined the priesthood.

What an ending very good.

Max Von Sidow, Ah yes, he played the priest in the Exorcist, I seem to recall. He was in another brilliant film " The Second Victory " set just after WWII. ( 1986 )

Estupenda!!, inesperado final😅

Great movie i've enjoyed this very much. Filmed in sweden? Thanks for sharing this 🎬🇫🇮

😊the ending was 👍

How does one hack a body to pieces and not get so much as a speck of blood on oneself? Btw, the ending was quite a plot twist.

The horrors of hell far worse!

Anyone know the actual location of the prison/fortress depicting the asylum that was used in this movie?

Jolly good show

Watching from Norfolk.

This is a forgotten gem.

REMINDS OF THE FILM LAW ABIDING CITIZEN W/ JAMIE FOXX

I did cross-country running at school to get out of playing rugby. But we didn’t have to go out if it snowed. And it actually did snow in those days

Music by Henri Mancini.

What a terrible building.

Thought the music was sounding really good. No wonder. Mancini!

Of course all of this only works if all the people The Night Visitor wants to 'visit' live within essentially walking distance of his Home Away From Home (asylum). What if one of them lived even 5 miles away? Doubt he'd have time to do his thing and be back for breakfast.

Where/what is that big old fort at the start of the movie? It can't be a set. it must have been used for some real-life purpose.

Where was the movie taken or filmed?Great movie, quite different.

And Rotten 🍅 Gave this movie an 18 ? They really are rotten! Agree that it is no less than a 90 ?
