Intruder

I'll be honest and say I'm only 30 minutes into the roughly 90-min movie. But come on. He gets in because she leaves her door open and unlocked?? Dumb bitch deserves anything she gets after that! I used to live in an extremely nice part of town and I still locked my door even if I was only walking to pick up a guest at the elevator around the corner. Having the "heroine" of the movie be a complete idiot just kills the whole thing. Right now, I'm only interested in the cat.

That should be an enormous red flag. When you have to hit up everyone you know to twist their arm to get them to kick in for your movie you should listen to them and think 'maybe this is a bad plan. Moreover, when the lead actress is married to the CEO of a production company that's not involved in the movie just maybe it's a radioactive slag heap.

It's not all bad. She's pretty to look at in a cold Gillian Anderson kind of way. Or if Tori Spelling were good looking. The housecat is also very soothing. What's not good is her on again off again American accent that lapses into Scottish.

Some weird things in the movie are, does she live in a house or an apt? Either way it's 3x.the size of my home. But I have a washer dryer and she doesn't. Why are the people taking so many showers? Seems that normal is taking 3 showers a day. Why do Portland thunderstorms go on for 3 or 4 days? Wouldn't that be some kind of state of emergency? How does a home with no direct access to the outdoors be something a cat repeatedly escapes from? Don't dead bodies start to smell? How do you take 3 showers a day AND wander around in an endless hurricane and your hair is never wet and your makeup is always perfect? When did changing a lightbulb become fearsome? Why does it take 12 hrs to call someone who's missing? How do hot women live on nothing but two sips wine every 4 days, even if, like her sleeps 20 hrs a day?

Time wasting.....very slow pace....no storyline.......

I enjoyed this creepy home invasion thriller. HEY! A SHOUT-OUT TO the FILM-MAKERS OF THIS - I just watched it on Netflix, and I'm not sure if it was intentional or a digital error in the Netflix copy of the video ... but some ending credits appear about 8 minutes before the actual ending, and it looks like an abrupt, bad ending, and many people would turn it off in disgust. But then there is about 5 MORE MINUTES OF THE MOVIE. Maybe THAT'S the reason so many people are PANNING this movie in their reviews. That false ending needs to be FIXED - people are missing the real ending!

I would be interesting to know if the film makers did this intentionally, or if it's a glitch in Netflix's copy of the film??? Whichever - that ending needs to be fixed!

The biggest mystery in this thriller is why did the credits start to roll 7 minutes before the end? Did someone say 'Oh damn, we still have 7 minutes to kill (pun intended), maybe we should add a postscript showing who the killer is.' That was actually unnecessary as there was no doubt who did the dirty deed. The writers throw in a few threatening characters to throw off the audience, but, sorry, not gonna happen.

What would I do to improve the story? Instead of peeing in the sink which she will never notice, have him pee in her orange juice...THAT will get her attention. Instead of just slinking around her apartment, have the killer rearrange her furniture, hang her pictures upside down...THAT will get her attention. Expand the nude scenes as the heroine has a killer bod. Heck, even expand the boyfriend's nude scene as he has a killer bum...THAT will get our attention. If none of that works, put the closing credits at the beginning of the movie so we don't have to suffer through 90 minutes of nothing happening.

Since not much happens for the majority of the movie, I spent the time wondering what the heroine would look like without collagen injections. What did I learn from this flick? Dogs make much better protectors than cats.
