Invasive

Staying late after a party, a woman looking to squat in a billionaire's elite mansion home inadvertently discovers the shocking secret to his fortune when the revelation that his life-saving medicinal cures are tested on other random strays like her and must try to get out of the situation alive.

This was a generally disappointing thriller without much going for it. The main aspect that this one has for it is the idea that there's a shocking secret unearthed within the lab and the survival instincts to get out alive before everything falls south. This is handled incredibly well with the initial reasoning for her being there and staying at the property only to find everything upended when the owner returns ahead of schedule and sets out carrying on the day-to-day life he normally leads unaware of her presence until trying to get away alerts them that something's going on. This starts a thrilling and generally intriguing series of chases around the house where the gruesome nature of the experiments being performed and how it all takes place inside the cramped confines of the one location makes everything feel all the more tense with some surprising revelations at play helping to enhance the experience. It's what pretty much makes this one enjoyable overall. There are some issues here holding this one down. The main detriment of the film revolves around the lack of macabre shenanigans for much of the running time. With so much of the first half revolving around the two sitting around the house enjoying their time alone in a lavish technologically-impactful mansion that allows for a lighthearted feeling until it gets to a point where they have a more distracted idea the more they stay there. Very little of this tends to be dark or thrilling which makes for a sluggish time to get going as there's barely anything going on that makes for a generally tense time until halfway through so it all comes together rather lackluster. That also highlights the series of twists present highlighting the overlong finale where it keeps introducing plenty of additional elements to keep everything going for little payoff which is what holds this one back.

Painful to watch seriously. Horrible acting, especially by the Kayleigh character. I saw this movie only based on the positive reviews for this movie on IMDB but sampling bias is to blame I guess.

There is no story to be honest. You could shoot this movie in 30 minutes and still it would be the same. The antagonist and his monologues are so irritating. The director wanted to make it seem profound but it was lame. He keeps on saying about people wasting his time and he keeps wasting his. After a point, it became predictable and I blurted out laughing.

This is the type of B-grade (or is it C-grade or even D-grade) movie which requires you to leave your brain at home. The first 5-10 minutes seemed promising and OMG did the movie go downhill after that or what. You cannot relate to any of the characters. Repeat any of the characters. Be it the two couples or the policeman or the experimental subjects. Predictable is another adjective which aptly describes the movie. I could predict the twists and turns (which seemed to impress some of the other reviewers) in the movie a mile away. Yawn !!

Sometimes you get the idea of a movie and do not make it. This movie belongs to the above category.

This movie was much much better than I expected and I am happy about it! I put this movie on for background noise, thinking it was gonna be a goffy script and even goofier acting, but surprise surprise!

I have to say.that I low key hoped that the villain would be a vampire.lol Yes, there are a few things that happen that require suspected reality or better yet, for the viewer to not take the movie as non-fiction...no different than any other fictional movie. That said, there was also a part of me that kind of wanted the heroine to have a change of heart and join the villain, buuut that desire did not last long at all, more like a brief thought. Kudos to every actress and actor. Kudos to the director and every person that made the movie possible. I have no complaints.

A Tubi Original that has nothing original in it cause it's not realistic, it's not frightening, it's not scary, has just mild mumbo elements of horror and drama in it. The parting of the boy and girl wasn't logical, could have benefited from more people in that house, at least two big dogs in it and flesh torn apart.

Instead of those, we have unrealistic cat and mouse chases and the wrong persons died. The tech was nice though.

If you like the thriller/horror hybrid, this will be right up your alley. Keeps you on edge the entire time! A couple of squatters/phroggers make themselves at home in a mansion, unbeknownst to the owner, until the girl witnesses a crime in the residence, and her presence in the house is detected by the psycho who owns the place. From there it turns into an increasingly more disturbing game of cat and mouse. If you liked 'Don't Breathe' - awesome, AWESOME nail-biter - you will enjoy this one as well. Some disturbing imagery, not suitable for kids, but overall a very entertaining, edge-of-your-seat thriller horror.
