Visitors is a 2003 Australian thriller film directed by Richard Franklin (his final film), produced by Jennifer Hadden, and starring Radha Mitchell, Susannah York and Ray Barrett.

Premise

The film deals with the feelings of a young woman sailing solo on a yacht around the world. The loneliness makes her start losing her sanity.

Cast

Production

Richard Franklin says he wanted to make a thriller along the lines of Patrick.

It all takes place in one room, essentially with one character, and a number of supernatural or otherworldly events. Not necessarily like Patrick, but it was actually what I said to Everett: "Can you give me something that all takes place in one room again?" And he said, well, could it be on a boat? And I said, okay.[2]

Box office

Visitors grossed $34,270 at the box office in Australia.[3]
