The Intruders

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.

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")

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.

Not entirely sure how to categorize this movie. It's definitely not horror or a thriller. Most likely someone's idea of suspense. Too bad there wasn't a true suspenseful moment.

I would not recommend this movie. The story is really nothing original as it has bits and pieces from other movies. The acting is nothing special.

Without giving details, it is basically one person has experiences that can't be explained, they are shared with someone else that doesn't believe them. The first person is believed mentally unstable. Nothing new. The extremely slow build-up does not deliver so much as the bat of an eyelash. Not much of a build up at all. Pretty lame actually.

In a nutshell its just boring. If you want to see how boring, knock yourself out. Its a waste of an hour and a half.

Sorry but im done with movies recycling the SAME ideas OVER AND OVER again.I started out hopeful and then it was all downhill from there.Just boring boring.The storyline never lifted off the ground,characters were just thrown in there and as one reviewer commented,this was neither horror nor thriller...it just was..in defense of Miranda Cosgrove this movie is neutral enough that her Nickelodeon fans can watch it and not be scared..you know like your ten year old can watch this and there'd be no issues with being scared..just some very quick blurry glimpses of what i guess must be the girl who's a ghost,but not a very exciting ghost.If you're doing housework or home alone and looking for something to have on in the background this is the movie for you!
