Invasive

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.

One of the things I love about Tubi being free is that I love bad movies. I go online to search for stuff I think is going to be bad and see if it is as bad as it looks or sounds. And sometimes I find a gem. Other times... I find something as unpleasant as "Invasive." It is not the type of bad that I am looking for.

I am surprised a lot of other reviewers on this site enjoyed the film, because I couldn't stand this movie. Through a combination of bad dialogue and poor acting choices, the characters in this film are unbearable. Special mention goes to our villain Pierce, played by Francis Chouler. Pierce is a tech bro, and he is written in a way that he is supposed to be hated. However, with his pretentious and nonsencial dialogue and Chouler's strange acting, Pierce comes across as a carciature of what the writer thinks a "detached" mad scientist is meant to be. Obviously, when Pierce says something that is supposed to be "profound," it is supposed to be arrogant and pretentious.

Unfortunately, for a film like this to succeed, your villain needs a certain charisma to them. Since this is a character you will be seeing throughout the film, he at the very least needs to be entertaining, even if he is irredeemable. And Pierce is not that. He is obnoxious. He is the kind of villain you want dead at the halfway point at the latest. Pierce bogs down the entire film, it is difficult for me to appreciate the good parts of this film that other reviewers seem to like.

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.

So this isn't a movie worth a high rating by any means, some of the "rEvIeWs" have it as a 9 or 10 LoL.

This movie isn't bad at all, it's fairly well done actually with a good plot and the actors and actresses done well, it's entertaining and has a couple of little twists thrown in there that keep everything moving along at a good pace, get some popcorn, relax and just watch it for what it is and you'll find that you will enjoy it. Tubi has done well here (as they have done with many other Tubi Originals) with good visual effects to top it all off this one definitely doesn't disappoint at all.

I stumbled across this film and decided to give it a chance. At first, it does appear low budget and the first "test", which we would come to learn about later felt a little cheesy but passable. As the film carries on, we meet three lead characters, one of which is rich but has an odd, sort of dry humor/douche like dismissive nature to him. Strange but observant as you watch him. Then we meet the two other leads, one of which we learn some backstory on (female) and the other (male) we only learn little things about as it's revealed.

Now, watching this film you wouldn't really know what the plot is about but we see these characters live their best life by taking advantage of others with reason. And this is where things start to unfold because of what is first seen followed by what is eventually found. At this point, this is where the film feels more solid. The rich, odd man oddly resembles actor Jeremy Sisto and Christian Bale, and there's moments where you get a little bit of "American Psycho" vibes in the disturbing portrayal of himself.

When the secrets are revealed behind what's really happening in this house, the drama unfolds between multiple characters. The film holds your attention pretty decently to its end. I rate this one a 7/10.
