Trespassers

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.
