Intruders

Intruders (2015) is a solid, but flawed indie thriller. I went into this movie with extremely low expectations. I thought it would be terrible. While the movie isn't great, it still exceeded my expectations. The acting was alright, but the slow buildup kept the movie engaging. The pacing was steady, and kept the movie flowing.The plot twist wasn't anything special, but at least is wasn't mindbogglingly stupid, it was tolerable. My big problem with this movie is its repetitiveness. The dialogue repeats itself many times, making it extremely painful at certain points. Still, the direction of this film is adequate, the setting is sufficient, and overall, this is an all right movie. It's nothing remarkable, but it is certainly not terrible.

Love it that the food delivery guy used good old Rod Serling quote when delivering food....

+1 Star for a Great Line!!

Okay so some home invaders invade a home when the owner is not supposed to be home. She's supposed to be at a funeral Overall I think the premise was kinda interesting. A good twisty little home invasion movie and the ending was satisfactory. 6/10

I wasn't too bored watching it, so I guess that's a plus.

But overall I can't say that this was very impressive, we've seen it all before (even though the movie does throw a rather surprising twist at us which by all means is not a new one it's usually just delivered more upfront).

The characters didn't seem very believable to me either, not necessarily bad acting just very 2-dimensionally written characters that didn't feel real, and things that were supposed to be shocking just came across as the opposite.

And it just completely lacks the edge that it clearly was meant to have.

It's not absolutely terrible though but it's kinda like when you are thirsty and you'd really like a cold soda, and instead you get a lukewarm one that's gone flat.

Has had 3 name-changes I know of since it's release: The Lifetime movie sounding 'Deadly Home' the incredibly unoriginal 'Intruders' and the best one: 'Shut In'...

And that's just the ones I know of, it's almost like it decided to change name of it for every bad review it got.

Just finished watching Intruders or Shut In. I don't know what the real title is and I don't get why you have to have two different titles for one movie. But nevertheless I enjoyed this thriller. It's not a horror movie but a thriller. I didn't read any of the reviews before watching it and I'm glad I didn't because the story is full of twists and I didn't see them coming at all. The actors all did a good job with their respective characters. The story starts slow but quickly builds up to a efficient thriller. There are enough twists in the movie to keep you interested until the end. Even though the end was a bit disappointing to me but it still is a good thriller to watch.

Interesting what happens when you break into a house and try to rob a crazy person. Sometimes the criminals do get what they deserve.
