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 Netflixed this film because it just came out and I was in the mood for some horror. As is with low-budg, straight to DVD horror, my expectations were LOW. I am glad to say that I was pleasantly surprised. The acting and directing is well above the caliber of movies in this genre and the writing was surprisingly witty. Felt very much like a throwback to the 70s classics, like the original "The Hills Have Eyes." There are some truly harrowing moments not to mention a cool concept and some beautiful landscapes. O, and excellent music selection and score. My only real criticism is the dialogue mix is low and not the best, but overall, if you're a fan of old school Genre pieces, this film is well worth a rental. Take the ride!

This film was a nice surprise. The pacing is decent, the acting is good, and the cinematography is on a par with that of much higher budgeted films. Plus, the use of creepy locations in Mexico adds an uneasy atmosphere.

The story itself is interesting. Kind of compelling, actually. The set-up with the vacationing friends is nothing to rave about, but the story behind the cursed beach is definitely original. And for once, the kids aren't ANNOYING. Too many low budget horror films seem to think that being an ass is the only way a kid should act. Well, these kids seem fairly realistic and their antics aren't too outlandish. In fact, one antic involves a kid tricking a girl to take off her top on her condition that he doesn't video tape it. This, of course, leads to some nudity that didn't feel forced and is always welcome in a low budget horror film. Plus, the actress showing her - ahem - assets is a natural beauty, so everything is 100% real. Always a plus.

This film does have some gore, but is fairly restrained as far as blood-letting is concerned. This film isn't about copious buckets of blood, either. It's about atmosphere. Gore hounds should rent a George Romero film if they want a gore fix, because they won't find it here. And, actually, that's a small quibble that I did have with it. A little more blood would've been nice to see. It really did need a few violent shock moments (think "28 Days Later"), but this didn't detract from my enjoyment of the picture.

All in all, a commendable job by all involved. I can think of many other, much higher budgeted films that are far below this effort.

This movie on the back says that it is in vein of Dawn of the dead and Shaun of the Dead. Somebody lied!! This movie is completely opposite. The only good thing about this movie is that the girls in it looked good. The rest had really nothing to do with zombies. Do Not rent even if your bored. Stay Bored, go play with yourself or something, anything would be better than this crap. Now I will say this; the weird guy with the camera, i think his name was lucky, got to see the girl topless and then recorded it on the camera. Whats funny though is the fact that 5 seconds later we see him sitting on a rock by himself playing a challenging game of pocket pool, but before he can finish flogging the dolphin he gets scared and runs away. Even though this is sick it just shows that if this was the best part of the movie imagine what the rest of the movie is like.

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")
