Alicia I love this movie so much
GarnettTeenage The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.
CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
TdSmth5 In the intro a girl is kept in some cellar. Some guy with a camera arrives. She screams.A father and his daughter move into a house in a different town. He's an architect and always busy with work. The wife had mental issues and committed suicide at some point. The girl, Rose, is obnoxious, a college student taking a semester off and also has mental issues since her mother's death but refuses to take her pills, in fact she throws them away.As soon as she gets there the complains. But also early on she starts hearing loud noises of all kinds. And we too have to put up with exceedingly loud sound effects, noises, and music as if any second someone is going to just show up and skin Rose alive. And this goes on for the entire movie.Rose tries to befriend a girl across the street who also argues with her father and who also doesn't have a mother. This girl asks Rose how she can live in that house given what happened there. That freaks her out and she starts researching. The previous owner was a "pillar" of the community who helped and let people in need live in the house. One of those was the dad across the street. And also a girl who vanished. The dad across the street was suspected of the disappearance but eventually cleared. But this woman also had a son. Rose finds scratches in the cellar in her house with the missing girl's name. She magically gets herself locked into rooms, stuff disappears, of course heads of dolls appear and vanish, etc.Rose also becomes friends with some construction worker who takes her to a party but when he also fails to see any evidence of what she claims to hear she tells him to get lost.Finally, 15 minutes before the movie is over we learn what is going on. Rose finds a secret room with a secret attic and another secret inside. It's an unsatisfying explanation, but at least it's something after 1:15 hours of nothing.The Intruders has little going for it. Stories about people with mental issues simply don't work. Here we're lead around nose for a while. The main characters aren't sympathetic nor interesting. Nothing really advances the story in any meaningful way until the end. The sound effects instead of making things scary are just annoying. But it has fallen to the sound effects to make up for the lack of story and keep the audience from falling asleep.
Claudio Carvalho The disturbed twenty year-old Rose Halshford (Miranda Cosgrove) moves with her father, the architect Jerry Halshford (Donal Logue), to an old house after the loss of her mother. Soon Rose meets her next door neighbor Leila Markby (Jenessa Grant) and she learns about the tragic disappearance of the teenager Rachel that was sheltered by the previous owner of her house, Cheri Garrison (Claire Calarco) and her son Marcus (Michael Luckett). Rose suspects of Leila's father Howard Markby (Tom Sizemore) and she also learns that he had been the prime suspect of the police but proved his innocence. Rose overhears noises in the house but her father believes she is still traumatized by the loss of her mother. Rose also dates the constructor Noah Henry (Austin Butler) that is refurbishing the house. When strange events happen in the house, Jerry believes Rose is the responsible. Is his daughter really paranoid?"The Intruders"is an unoriginal and predictable film full of clichés. The formulaic story seems to be on the shelve ready to be prepared without any creativity. In addition, the lead character is annoying and does not seem to be a twenty year-old college girl. The conclusion is so obvious that irritates. My vote is four.Title (Brazil): "A Casa do Medo" ("The House of the Fear")
buckikris I rented this the other night, and was surprised how good it was. I didn't know any of the actors except Tom Sizemore. This was finally a good suspense filled movie without all the gore, torture, and nonsense you see in today's horror movies. I am a classic horror fan, not into today's blood, gore, guts type movies like; SAW. I like the old school horror, like Friday, Psycho, Halloween, and Nightmare. This movie was up my alley, it was like watching a Norman Bates type movie. It kept me glued to the screen from the time it started til' the end. Just when you think you know who is behind it, comes a twist. When watching this movie I had two suspects; and both were wrong. I was shocked when I found out who was responsible in the end. This is a great suspense filled movie that makes you think, and how many horror films can say that. This is well worth the rental, if you like suspense, thriller movies this is for you.THX, Kris L.

hiyaboyos Not entirely sure how to categorize this movie. It's definitely not horror or a thriller. Most likely someone's idea of suspense. Too bad there wasn't a true suspenseful moment. I would not recommend this movie. The story is really nothing original as it has bits and pieces from other movies. The acting is nothing special. Without giving details, it is basically one person has experiences that can't be explained, they are shared with someone else that doesn't believe them. The first person is believed mentally unstable. Nothing new. The extremely slow build-up does not deliver so much as the bat of an eyelash. Not much of a build up at all. Pretty lame actually.In a nutshell its just boring. If you want to see how boring, knock yourself out. Its a waste of an hour and a half.
