Los Intrusos

This movie started off well with some great acting from all concerned; the bad guy was particularly vile and that boded well for a good bloodbath/massacre but it all went downhill rather quickly as nothing much except a bit of a drama out of a crisis unfolded with little to no real horror; more of a comedy with a bit of drama and a smidgin' of horror thrown in for good measure.

Sylvester McCoy makes the film and I have always liked him; even as Doctor Who as he brings a lot more to the table than most actors these days but all of the actors were really spot on but they just had nothing to really work with scriptwise and I don't know about anyone else but I figured out what was possibly behind the safe from the beginning so the mystery was gone for me quite early on.

Disappointed as it looked like this could be a rival to the USA Don't Breathe movie but it has absolutely nothing in common but it does get an average 5 hatchets out of 10 as it will fill an average Friday nights viewing.

I just stumbled into this movie and thought I'd give it a chance and so far it's okay and after smoking a bit it definitely made it more entertaining lol the main villain in this movie definitely gives a pretty good performance and also the old man so smoke a bowl and press play

This is only unpredictable if you've never watched anything else of the genre. It rips off Villains, poorly, but tries to have a twist ending. A twist that was as dumb as everything else.

Doesn't help that the third act was cropped to a 4:3 ratio for no discernable reason.

What I didn't enjoy about The Owners is how big of a letdown it is after the film embraces its latter half twists. The first half is heist+home invasion clichés galore - a bunch of thugs looking to make some quick money by robbing a rich house fail to realize that the resident couple has some secrets of their own to hide. This plotline has now nearly run its course and needs truckloads of inventiveness to be taken seriously. While there have been a few surprises in this subgenre such as Don't Breathe and Villains, I don't think this film makes it to that list.

The screenplay meanders, the characters are all unlikeable (the film uses the pregnancy ploy to make audiences care for Mary, the character played by Maisie Williams, but it doesn't work), and the overall slackening of pace do the film no favours. There are zero scares and it's some bloodshed alone that tags it under the horror category. Watch one of the films mentioned above (or M.N Shyamalan's The Visit) instead.

The character Terry. If you have seen this movie I should have to say no more. One of the most irritating characters in a horror movie I have ever witnessed. I could barely make it through this movie because every decision a character makes is unbelievable. The film is not scary or thrilling in the slightest. The twist ending was dumb and did not make it worth the effort of sitting through this terribly unoriginal piece of trash. I spent $8 so you don't have to. Seriously avoid this at all costs and watch Don't Breathe instead.
