The Intruders

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.

Lame, routine horror about intruders that appear to have no faces. Not too scary to say the least. seek out many, many better examples, if you are that way inclined.

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.

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!
