Un intrus dans ma maison

Bought the DVD at Dollar General in the Halloween assortment, not expecting much since it's an Asylum film; but it was not bad. Jamie Kennedy is very believable as a psychopath, one of his best roles I might add. He was extremely convincing. It really was a great little made for tv movie.

If you get a chance to catch this on tv or find in a discount bin, it's worth the 90 minute runtime. Of all the films that Asylum puts out, this is truly one of the best I've seen. The acting was not terrible either, in fact it was pretty good. Great thriller.

There is worse out there than 4Closed and it is not quite as terrible as what the first reviewer says, but that is not to say much in 4Closed's favour, because there was some potential there that wasn't explored very well. Malee Matlin and James Denton are decent, there are moments of creepy atmosphere and 4Closed also knows what it wants to be and what it wants to do, and doesn't try to go beyond that. Unfortunately that was also a shortcoming, in doing that everything becomes very simplistic and without that much soul. The actors do make an effort, though Christine DeRosa's acting was rather forced and Jamie Kennedy doesn't really convince as a psychopathic creep(not charismatic enough and in a way too nice, also comedy villain quality sometimes), but are ill-served by the lack of tension and suspense in the atmosphere and script, half-baked characters and a complete lack of surprises. Not to mention a story so painfully obvious and when it is devoid of the above things the whole movie just feels flabby. The look of the movie is unappealing, not quite amateurish but rather drab and hurried-looking. For the type of movie 4Closed it's somewhat appropriate but when there's very little interesting elsewhere, it just doesn't appeal. Audibly there's no better news, it's generic in scoring and the sound has a tendency to be muddied. All in all, could have been much more, a few redeeming qualities here and there, but generally it's unexciting, predictable, underwritten, simplistic and largely underwhelming in atmosphere, and just fails to entertain really. 3/10 Bethany Cox

I decided to watch the film after seeing the trailer and seeing that it starred 2 famous actors that I had seen and liked in TV shows (James Denton as Mike in Desperate Housewives, and Marlee Matlin as Melody in Switch at Birth).

Although initially the storyline is slightly more original (a family buy a house sold as a bank foreclosure - but the previous tenant refuses to let it go) the suspense lead up and progression of the storyline was far too predictable. Also I felt like the acting by the other actors was pretty sub-par, but this might have been a bad script. Either way, I was cringing throughout.

This film was an easy watch, and the storyline was quite original, but had no strength and nothing to keep me gripped. I would not bother to watch again.

It was amazing watching so many ridiculous scenes in this movie. Right from the start the guy starts killing people that just "disappear" from the story line like they never happened. When you watch a movie you expect to people react to situations just like you would, these people reacted like they were mentally challenged. You spend your whole time thinking: why didn't they do this or that, why can't they tell why all this is happening to them? I mean, you your whole bank account disappear with all kind of strange charges couldn't your first thought would be to call or go to the bank? Nope, they just start arguing about his "gambling" and "drinking" habits. Anyway i just finished watching since i had it taped and was able to fast forward at the end.

The actors really "faked' it through out the movie. Movie very predictable. Awful acting! Don't know what happen to Marlee Marlin this was not the role for her; her acting was not so good in this movie. The movie was not real convincing. I liked the concept but some of the scenes were ridicules and horrible. The writers made all the actors have lack of knowledge or intelligence and made the actors have no common sense. Low budget movie with seasoned actors. I gather because it's low budget the actors had to act low budget.
