The acting wasn't great. Steve McNair who plays Joe in particular was very annoying.

Some pretentious if not bizzare dialogue choices.

It is a film that peaks your interest enough to see it through. You know before the halfway line the ending is going to be a disappointment. But you keep going.

There was no real conclusion in that there is no "why" explained let alone really the who. It's as if the writer could not be bothered to come up with a proactive conclusion. It leaves the whole movie with little purpose.

Not the worst film you'll see, but you're gonna say " what the hell?" At the end.

Listen, I love my movies across all genres but this was truly garbage. Those that gave this above 2 stars really need to reassess what they consider a good movie.

Extremely poor acting with a ridiculous and pointless plot, with a budget of $10k I'm sure there was about $8k left once it had wrapped. I can't even try to point out good parts because there really isn't any.

Do yourself a favour and either watch this while you hoover the entire house or even better, put it on while you go shopping for a few hours. Either way you won't have missed anything.

Pretty much ruined our Friday evening and 1hr 40 we'll never get back.

This slow burn thriller is an example of how stupid a person can be. I mean, installing cameras after so many things happened? Can you be any slower than that? If they were murderers, he'd be dead by now. Not to mention changing the locks not right after his neighbor advised him? Way to go, slowpoke! This movie is a complete waste of time! More than an hour spent going back and forth between mental illness and supernatural beings. And as it turned out, it was neither. STUPID! The acting wasn't even that good. And too many build ups that went into nothing. They stretched it for far too long, 30 minutes is enough to convey the whole plot. Cause the conclusion of this movie was only about 15 minutes at the end of it. Don't wanna waste your precious time like I did? Go to the time stamp I just told you. You'll thank me later.

This film had me questioning it from the moment, the intrusive neighbor came over. The neighbor's behavior and dialogue made no sense at all and was odd at times to say the least. People simply don't behave like this. Next - the acting was atrocious as it relates to Joe, the neighbor. The guy who played the main character was believable as far as acting is concerned but the neighbor was horrible and his ridiculous dialogue didn't help at all. The storyline had major plot holes that would have to force the viewer to suspend belief because people with common sense would not do some of the things that the main character was doing. I often wondered, while watching; if the character was supposed to be seen as or portrayed as mentally challenged due to some of his decisions. Even now, I'm not really sure. All I can say is that this film had no real resolution or likeable characters except maybe the sister. This film had an interesting premise but the execution was horrendous...

I like the main character here and I thought David Gow did as much as he could with the script he was given. I had problems with several of the "red herrings" that appeared to make no sense (the sleepwalking, the insistence of not calling the police). I am interested to know why the director-writer deliberately avoids establishing the main character as Gay. The subtext is there. We don't have any reasons for the main character's angst. A separation or ending of a long term relationship would have given far more motivation for his personal anxieties. It is still worth a watch and good example of what you can do on a very small budget.

Thoroughly enjoyed this, did not come on my radar until my mom told me to watch it as she'd enjoyed it so much. Watching on a dark cold January morning on my own probably wasn't the most sensible thing to do as the atmosphere and tension that this film builds was scary to say the least! I really loved the acting, it felt so natural and as the pace is slower that other movies of the same genre, it felt like we could get to know the characters a lot better. I am so pleased I found this and hope others enjoy too. The clever mix of paranoia and anxiety built up a truly tense and fearful environment surrounding such a lovely community. Very well executed.

One of those B-grade films, but not too horrible and amusing enough! The writer and director Jack Brame is clearly better at directing than writing! The script is the weakest link, and acting runs very much next to it in incompetence. The plot was basic, with minimal distractions, and it revolved around a young man's paranoia, which spiralled when he became sure that someone was stealing into his home every night. There are too many inconsistencies in the entire plot, so I'll avoid winging it... just watch it with plenty of popcorn and soft drinks and let me know what you think after watching it!

The Intruder follows a young man living on his own for the first time. While some critics are dismissing it as just another home invasion thriller, they're missing what makes it special. This isn't just about things that go bump in the night - it's about that terrifying, exciting moment when you finally have your own place and have to face your fears alone.

Remember that first night in your own house? Every little noise seems like a threat, every shadow looks suspicious, and suddenly you're very aware of every creak and groan of the building. The Intruder takes this universal experience and turns it into something truly unnerving.

The film opens with our protagonist waking up on his living room floor, unsure of how he got there. It's an unsettling start to what becomes an increasingly paranoid existence in his new house. Things keep moving around mysteriously. Footsteps echo through the halls at night. Most terrifying are his episodes of sleep paralysis, where he lies helpless, convinced someone's watching him in the darkness.

While most thrillers would jump straight to the scares, this one takes its time exploring what it really means to face your fears. Is he actually experiencing these things, or is he sleepwalking? Could his neighbor Joe be involved? Everyone around him suggests he's just anxious about living alone - and that's exactly what makes this film so clever. It captures that moment in life when everyone treats your legitimate concerns as just another case of young adult jitters.

What really grabbed me was how the main character's journey mirrors what we all go through when stepping into independence. Between the mysterious disturbances and doubting his own judgment, he's really wrestling with something bigger: learning to trust himself. The lead actor nails this vulnerability, making you feel every moment of uncertainty and growing confidence.

When the shocking truth is finally revealed in the film's climax, it's a gut-punch reminder that sometimes our worst fears aren't just in our heads. What makes the revelation so powerful isn't just the twist itself, but how deeply we've come to understand this character's psychological journey. It's the kind of ending that sends you back through the movie in your mind, picking up all the subtle clues you missed the first time around.

If you're into thrillers that balance genuine character development with spine-chilling suspense, this one's for you. This is a smart, layered film about the terrifying process of learning to trust yourself.
