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")
