A Casa do Medo

The disturbed twenty year-old Rose Halshford (Miranda Cosgrove) moves with her father, the architect Jerry Halshford (Donal Logue), to an old house after the loss of her mother. Soon Rose meets her next door neighbor Leila Markby (Jenessa Grant) and she learns about the tragic disappearance of the teenager Rachel that was sheltered by the previous owner of her house, Cheri Garrison (Claire Calarco) and her son Marcus (Michael Luckett). Rose suspects of Leila's father Howard Markby (Tom Sizemore) and she also learns that he had been the prime suspect of the police but proved his innocence. Rose overhears noises in the house but her father believes she is still traumatized by the loss of her mother. Rose also dates the constructor Noah Henry (Austin Butler) that is refurbishing the house. When strange events happen in the house, Jerry believes Rose is the responsible. Is his daughter really paranoid?

"The Intruders"is an unoriginal and predictable film full of clichés. The formulaic story seems to be on the shelve ready to be prepared without any creativity. In addition, the lead character is annoying and does not seem to be a twenty year-old college girl. The conclusion is so obvious that irritates. My vote is four.

Title (Brazil): "A Casa do Medo" ("The House of the Fear")

When something horrible has happened at a house ... you'd expect people not lining up to go there ... and live there. On the other hand, you do expect anyone selling/renting those houses, not to tell people anything about that. I mean in movies you don't expect them too ... to give the characters some modicum of respect - and so that the viewers will not hate them from the start.

This is quite the mediocre horror movie overall and apart from the cliches more than a little bit predictable. You may like it more than others and it is well done technically speaking ... but there is not much more to it.

I was curious to see what Miranda Cosgrove could do as a leading lady, all I ever hear is criticism about her acting ability. I never get to see her in anything as what she tends to do doesn't exactly fall into the category of stuff I would watch (With the exception of School Of Rock).

Starring alongside more than competent veterans Donal Logue & Tom Sizemore this horror is one big cliché & steals material from other movies, sticky tape's it all together and calls it original.

Dull and lifeless this is a hard one to make it through as it goes nowhere, is more predictable than a Cena match and goes nowhere.

First of all, when I first watched the official trailer of the movie I kinda liked it, even though I didn't really had high expectations about it. Eventually, it was as bad as I had imagined and I didn't really enjoyed it. The plot of the movie was very interesting and mysterious, but not really innovative because there are too many movies similar to this one. Sadly, the storyline wasn't very well written, nor well-explained and it was very simple. The characters were very interesting, well-developed and likeable. The filming location of the movie was mainly, inside a big, creepy house. The casting was nice and their acting was descent, Miranda's performance was really good. I have to admit, it wasn't a scary movie and there weren't any jumpscares. Also, it wasn't very intense and not really promising. Moreover, the ending scene wasn't very well-explained and I didn't really liked it. Overall, "The Intruders" wasn't a nice horror movie, not well executed and I wouldn't recommend it to my friends.

Jerry Halshford (Donal Logue) and his daughter Rose (Miranda Cosgrove) take possession of an old house. Her mother recently died and she is struggling with mental issues. Her new neighbor Leila Markby (Jenessa Grant) has a creepy dad (Tom Sizemore). Noah Henry (Austin Butler) is the hot construction worker fixing the house.

The tone is depressed especially at the beginning. That has something to do with the lead character's mentality, but it also has to do with the horror filmmaking. Everything is a little slow, a little tired, and not that scary. There is a mystery to this house and Rose. I'm not that excited about any of this. Miranda Cosgrove continues to try and find her way post iCarly. Austin Butler turns into the bigger star for now.
