Screenplay
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. The film in some ways is close to the theme of The Shining by Stanley Kubrick. Director Richard Franklin attempts to create an atmosphere of isolation and cabin-fever phenomena experienced by the lonely girl in the open sea.

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