An Intrusion

Prince shines as Sam, a beleaguered husband/father whose family is targeted by a stalker. This stalker clearly has a personal vendetta with Sam. Hoveland and Cama are also good as Sam's wife, Joyce, and daughter, Rebecca. The story takes many twists and turns as Compton, a local detective tries to put the pieces together. Sam is haunted by his poor choices, and the ongoing uncertainty of the looming stalker sets him on edge. I highly recommend this thriller that contains some classic horror elements.

I was brought to this movie 'An Intrusion' by the relatively high score it had on here. The film had an interesting first half with the storyline, although the acting was amateurish. The last third of the story went off the rails so much so it was silly and completely unbelievable. So I sat through a night of bad acting with no payoff.

You know, I was just ALMOST willing to grudgingly give this poorly acted, dumb thing masquerading as a thriller a 3 rating...up until the Southern speaking creepy preacher came out of nowhere speaking of fire and brimstone and evils of the flesh. Then I was like, nah. The only thing that kept it from a 1 is that I generally reserve that for "worst" status, and while this was pretty awful, it wasn't the worst.

I simply could not keep up with what was happening, then again, I didn't care about any of the characters enough to pay that close attention. I was bored from the beginning. The action sequences were too dark and fuzzy to know what was happening, but maybe that was to hide the poor special effects. The low budget was obvious, however the camera quality was good-but the jerky, poorly edited camera work ruined it. Amateur acting all around, but the female detective was particularly bad. The male lead would have been tolerable except for the yelling and constant fits of anger, which must be attributed to a truly hideous script. Even the jump scares weren't jumpy. And in a scene where the father is being obviously attacked, the mother and daughter rather calmly stand back and observe-until THEY get threatened. And the ending just seems to take forever to wrap up.

Frankly, it was a chore to make it all the way through this thing but I was determined to review it. The ones that gave it super high scores? Yeah, I find those HIGHLY suspicious.

I would rather staple my eyelids shut than view this tasteless piece of "film" again. Gave it a go as a recommendation from friend of a friend- we're no longer friends. Director needs to stick to his 9-5 & stop wasting everyone's time.

Sam has been keeping secrets for a long time. Some are revealed through the movie, but the big ones are left for the end. I won't spoil it, I promise. At first I found the movie slow moving. After a while I was intrigued as to what will happen next, so I kept watching. It is a good suspense story that will keep you guessing and on the edge of your seat. I think you will enjoy it, so sit back and get comfy. Let's see if you can figure it out.
