Manhattan executive Bart Hughes (Peter Weller) returns to his family and their brownstone to find sanctuary from the pressures of a career that could drive a lesser man mad ... but when his wife and children go away for a long weekend, Hughes discovers that he is not alone. Now, Hughes' obsession with finding--and killing--an unwanted, unseen intruder begins to erode his sanity. Based on the novel The Visitor by Chauncey G. Parker.

Alan Jones

Wrings every ounce of terror and suspense from such a simple premise.

Flawed, but not without interest.

An odd, engrossing horror that's also an impressive allegory for the detrimental effects of the capitalist working world on the individual in America.

Dennis Schwartz

Too close to home for the extreme rat phobia explored not to sink in as much as possible as scary stuff.

It's ultimately clear that Of Unknown Origin might've worked as a half hour short yet is simply unable to sustain an 88 minute running time...
