# Visions (2015 film)
**Visions** is a 2015 American supernatural horror film directed by Kevin Greutert, in which a pregnant woman who moves to a California vineyard with her husband begins experiencing terrifying visions that no one else can see or hear.[1](https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/visions_2015) It stars [Isla Fisher](https://www.edgepedia.org/isla-fisher) as Eveleigh Maddox, with [Anson Mount](https://www.edgepedia.org/anson-mount), Gillian Jacobs, Jim Parsons, Joanna Cassidy, and [Eva Longoria](https://www.edgepedia.org/eva-longoria) in supporting roles.[1](https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/visions_2015) The film was produced by Jason Blum's Blumhouse Productions and, like Greutert's previous *Jessabelle*, was sent directly to home video in the United States rather than given a theatrical release.[2](https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/visions_2015/cast-and-crew) • [3](https://moriareviews.com/horror/visions-2015.htm)

### Plot
The film opens a year after a car accident in which a child in the other vehicle was killed. Eveleigh Maddox, now three months pregnant, and her husband David move from the city to a vineyard they have bought in [Paso Robles, California](https://www.edgepedia.org/paso-robles-california), intending to reopen it and make their own wine.[7](https://www.netflixmovies.com/visions-2015) • [8](https://lovehorror.co.uk/ghosts/49226/visions-2015-review/)
Soon after settling in, Eveleigh begins suffering nightmares, hallucinations, and visions of a sinister hooded figure that neither David nor anyone else experiences.[7](https://www.netflixmovies.com/visions-2015) • [9](https://www.universalpicturesathome.com/movies/visions) Her doctor ([Jim Parsons](https://www.edgepedia.org/jim-parsons)) prescribes medication, and the visions stop while she takes it, but she goes off the pills out of concern for the pregnancy and they return in full force.[10](https://www.dreadcentral.com/reviews/110420/visions-2015/) Desperate to prove her sanity, she seeks out a local medium, Helena Knoll ([Joanna Cassidy](https://www.edgepedia.org/joanna-cassidy)), who reveals a haunted history attached to the vineyard, and she befriends Sadie ([Gillian Jacobs](https://www.edgepedia.org/gillian-jacobs)), another pregnant woman from her yoga class.[9](https://www.universalpicturesathome.com/movies/visions) • [7](https://www.netflixmovies.com/visions-2015)
**The ending.** In the climax the film reveals that Eveleigh's visions were not hallucinations or hauntings of the past but premonitions of future events: Sadie, who lost her child in the car accident, holds Eveleigh responsible and plans a home invasion to cut out Eveleigh's unborn child.[14](https://culturecrypt.com/movie-reviews/visions-2015) Forewarned by her visions, she is able to anticipate the attack, survive the night, and safely deliver her baby.[11](https://hellhorror.com/movies/visions-review-47971.html)

## Reception
The film drew largely negative reviews from critics. Rotten Tomatoes reports a 24% Tomatometer from 17 reviews and a 19% Popcornmeter score from more than 250 audience ratings;[1](https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/visions_2015) IMDb users have given it 5.3 out of 10 from about 11,000 votes.[5](https://www.justwatch.com/us/movie/visions)
Critics were divided on where the film's value lay. Trace Thurman of Bloody Disgusting gave it 2 out of 5, writing that it was worth watching solely for the last 15 minutes;[1](https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/visions_2015) the Moria review called it a routinely average film whose twist ending seemed more contrived than any of the supernatural explanations it displaced.[3](https://moriareviews.com/horror/visions-2015.htm) Kim Newman, writing in *Electric Sheep*, found [John de Lancie](https://www.edgepedia.org/john-de-lancie) wasted in a red-herring role and judged Joanna Cassidy's turn miscalculated.[1](https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/visions_2015) More favorable takes included Dread Central's review, which praised the film as well acted, tightly edited, and free of CGI, with an ending that pays off,[10](https://www.dreadcentral.com/reviews/110420/visions-2015/) and a later Dread Central piece by Matthew Rozsa rating it 4 out of 4, reading it as a story about a woman who is stubbornly not believed, except by other women.[1](https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/visions_2015) Boon Chan of *The Straits Times* gave it 3 out of 5, finding it not as gripping as *The Gift* but still worth watching.[1](https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/visions_2015)
## Genre context
Commentators have placed *Visions* in the pregnant-woman-in-peril tradition. Dread Central compared it to 1970s psychic-horror films such as *The Psychic* and *The Sentinel* and to modern examples like *Inside* and *Proxy*.[10](https://www.dreadcentral.com/reviews/110420/visions-2015/) Moria drew a line back to *Don't Look Now* (1973) and [Lucio Fulci](https://www.edgepedia.org/lucio-fulci)'s *The Psychic* (1977), which share the premise of cryptic visual clues presaging violence.[3](https://moriareviews.com/horror/visions-2015.htm) The film also loads its middle stretch with red herrings, including suspicions of a fertility cult, a possible affair, and a meth lab on neighboring land, which several reviewers found unrelated to the actual resolution.[3](https://moriareviews.com/horror/visions-2015.htm) • [13](https://ian-sedensky.squarespace.com/movie-reviews/visions-2015)
