 When the Visitor returns to his cosmic home, there is an extended light sequence that is modeled on the end of "Close Encounters of the Third Kind".Katy's ominous powers are rendered in the style of "The Omen", and the conflict over her nature, with good winning out over evil due to the help of an elderly man, led critic Sean Axmaker to call the film an ""Exorcist" knock-off".The review cited other obvious influences on the film like "Carrie", "The Birds", and "The Lady from Shanghai".
