The Intruder

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...

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.

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.

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!

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.
