Details

Though no one can see him, Hollow Face lurks in the corners, desperately desiring love but only knowing how to spread fear and hate. He creeps into the life of John Farrow after Farrow’s beloved 13-year-old daughter Mia is assaulted in their home. The line between the real and the imaginary blurs as fissures start to open within the family unit. It seems that no security measure can keep Hollow Face out.

Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
Roman Sampson One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
Anoushka Slater While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
ashton-81864 I do not know if I am the right person to write a review for this movie. Only because I get scared a little easier than the next person. But for this film, It kept me on the edge of my seat, It had my attention the whole time. Even made me jump a few times. You will not regret it once watching this movie. Kind of made me scared to go right to sleep after seeing it, because I thought something was hiding in the dark corners. Very interesting, but causes your mind to go nuts. Would watch this film again if I had the right person to watch it with. My cat can not save me with films like this. HA HA. But Hope this review makes you want to watch it. I promise you will love it!
marais-alexander After Juan Carlos Fresnadillo directed the blood-soaked romp "28 Weeks Later" I looked forward to another entertaining gore-fest. I was very wrong. In the style of "splat pack" directors like James Wan and Alexandre Aja (somewhat) he has gone in a completely different direction. Intruders is at once very creepy, but completely devoid of gore. It is filmed in a style that feels reminiscent of a child's psyche. For some, this will be a slow and un-involving technique. For others, it will be the movie's winning factor. The concept is essentially what scares all of us when we're young, a monster lurking in the closet. Having nightmares of a character similar to the antagonistic presence in the film, I connected with the characters' fear. The best way to watch this movie is sit back, relax, and turn off your "adult" prejudices about things. Just lose yourself in the movie, and you'll have a spooky good time. It's a children's horror movie for adults.
kosmasp A lot of people are complaining about the pace of the movie. And I do get it, it does take its time. A lot of it. Plus the two story lines are not for everyone either. But in the end it does make sense. Makes it even worth a second viewing if you will. Just to get the dots and connections you might have missed.While the movie is filled with tension, what really fuels it, is Clive Owens performance. It's at least power house what he delivers and it is necessary. I would call this movie not predictable, but maybe some will disagree. Still if you let yourself into the world (one that is well done, by the director), you will have a really good experience with it. And some shockers along the line
Marcel L. I usually love this type of movie: not being full of effects, full of violence and/or gore. But having a story to tell in some "spooky", or more like mysterious kind of way. With brilliant actors and a good twist at the end. In case of "Intruders" though, I was disappointed right from the beginning, as, for an, let's call it "advanced viewer", parts of the conclusion got presented right at the beginning of the movie. From that minute it's just speculating if you are right or wrong. When reaching the end you have to admit you weren't all right, but yeah, you knew it would end like this. This wouldn't be something new or would make a movie really bad, but Intruders got nothing else to shine with. The Plot isn't told in a good way. It's more like waiting for something to happen finally. And when you come to that point, there is no big surprise and not THAT BIG of a story-twist if you ask me. The more than average attempt to build up suspension with a rather "everyday plot" is what's left. It's too bad the movie's ending can't live up to that bit of given suspension. The good actors finally can't rescue this movie after all this. You will reach the point where you just want it to end.I recommend this movie to people who were really surprised at the end of "the sixth sense", which did present the "surprise" right at the beginning too (even if people still say they didn't knew what would happen, I personally can't believe it). For the story, it's more like "the machinist"...maybe. It's a rather calm movie with some "thrilling" effects. But nothing that prevents you from sleeping after seeing it. Also you won't think about it for the next few days, so it's really a gentle experience you want to have sitting at home, not really concentrating, since there's just not much to follow at the screen.Soooo, that's 4 Stars from me for pretty good acting, some thrills, average story, and a well-known but not convincing construction of the movie.
