Trespassers

Yes, the camera work is shaky - which is a DEVICE to make you feel shaky - it was intentional for those reviewers who didn't understand that - it's also shaky which allows the film to suggest gore yet doesn't dwell on it - it lets your imagination dwell on it... yes, low budget but I'd like to see other films with such a low budget showing such accomplished talent - you won't find them - watch these actors closely - they have the potential to go far! They have depth and sensitivity and bring class to the otherwise simple but spooky story. Yes, the masturbation scene is kinda raw sensuality but hey - that's what teens are about, yes? Yes.

I love horror movies and I watch a lot of them. Therefore, I've come across some really, really bad movies. This isn't one of them but it's not great either.

The acting/dialog are for the most part lousy but the story itself isn't a bad one. It keeps you guessing, and therefore interested, for a while and builds the tension pretty well and the payoff is pretty good, not mind blowing or anything but good. The end is kind of disappointing and not exactly clear but it doesn't matter much at that point as the important part of the story has already been told. The direction and camera work has a very raw feel to it which helps add to the creepiness of the mood.

Oh, and for the constantly boob-hungry American fans out there living in puritan-land, this one has some, and let me tell you, they're nice.

I didn't think this was that bad.

The camera work had a bit of that shakiness to it but the director didn't make the mistake of making it insist that you constantly notice it. It helped the feel of the show, even though it no doubt also served the purpose of covering up for a lack of real atmosphere and action during more frenetic scenes.

The performances were fine, although I have a couple of gripes for these movies in general. 1) Why is the lead almost ALWAYS the worst actor? 2) Why is the slutty girl with the actual personality almost ALWAYS one of the first to go, while the girl-next-door girlfriend who is about as interesting as a dishrag is always spared for a much longer stretch? My main criticism isn't that much. Contrary to what some reviewers here believe, I can't call the back story anything other than ridiculous. You do sort of need a back story for things like this, but they swung and missed with this one. It's not really a main component, so the movie does not fail because of it, but it could have made things a little more interesting had it been good.

I gave it 5 stars (I mean, really, the most you're ever going to give one of these is 6 or 7) because the director didn't tack on a completely ridiculous ending.

Regardless, if you're looking for a passable flick of this type with a little bit of a different feel, you can do much worse than this movie.

While in the Punta Abreojos in Mexico with his girlfriend Maya (Annica Bejhed) and two other couples, Tyler (Brendan Fleming) invites his brother Colin (Kaiwi Lyman-Mersereau) to join him in the paradisiacal beach for surfers. Colin travels from Los Angeles to the spot in his old car with his girlfriend Ashley (Michelle Borth), her slut friend Rose (Joleigh Pulsonetti) and his friends Javier (Jon Ada) and the goof Lucky (Alex Feldman). When they arrive in the beach, they do not find Tyler and her group, only their motorcycles, surfboards and finally their campsite and truck. While seeking out their friends, the group realizes that there is something wrong with the cursed beach.

"Trespassers" is a plain low budget movie with a shallow and non-well developed story and characters. There are awfully silly lines, and I believe that the winner is when Lucky asks what "km" is and Colin (I guess) replies that it is a shorter mile. The camera and lighting are terribly poor and the best scene in the movie is when Rose removes her bra and shows her wonderful breasts. My vote is four.

Title (Brazil): "Intrusos" ("Intruders")

The story goes about 5 young people taking a trip to some hidden beaches in Mexico. it seems like there are some weird weird things going on at that beach, and it seems like our 5 young hero's have just landed in the middle of that...

Just watched this movie, and i could say, its a bit disappointing... low budget and bad acting really didn't give this movie the right push. the story line was far from complete with useless characters in it. the scenes are just to messy. the camera shakes far too much witch just don't give you the change to see the movie probably. Most of the time i just had to wait till the scene was over to find out what just happened, and that doesn't have to do anything with the storyline. hence, at the end of the movie, i didn't even remember the main characters name's. The end is very strange to, its like the movie just stopped in the middle of the plot.
