The Visiting

The Visiting

So, here is the description of The Visiting from Fango:
VISITING stars another Academy Award honoree, Nicole Kidman, in the BODY SNATCHERS-esque tale of a woman trying to save her son and society in general from an alien plague that alters people's behavior.
There is debate as to whether or not an Invasion of the Body Snatchers type film constitutes a zombie movie (or, IOTBS itself). There is a handful of early zombie fare that falls into a "zombie by alien design and control" kind of catagory. Whatever your personal taste, I've included it here, because ZAGG is all-zombie-inclusive. Yay for something zombie-related with Nicole Kidman!

From About.com:
The Visiting tells the story of a mysterious epidemic that alters the behavior of human beings. When a Washington D.C. psychiatrist (Kidman) discovers the epidemic’s origins are extraterrestrial, she must fight to protect her son, who may hold the key to stopping an imminent invasion. As she said at the press conference, it wasn’t the screenwriter so much that got her attention, but “the theme [about] the love a mother has for her child. [and] My emotional response to the material.” What attracted her to film itself was the director, Oliver Hirschbiegel: “I thought that Downfall was a terrific piece of filmmaking,” she said. (Downfall is a 2004 Nazi film with a very dark, genre ambiance.)
