Yvonne is the best part
Yvonne is the only real redeeming quality of the movie. The kids whine ALOT, and it almost ruins the film. Yvonne, however, is the saving grace. There are some significant gaps in the plot, and it does make the film less enjoyable than it could be. It almost felt like a watered down version of The Strangers.
They aren't kidding about the annoying kids
I'd have just pitched those brats at the killer and let him have them. I watched it purely to see what everyone else was complaining about. They were right!
Meanwhile, the film jumped me a few times but I neeeever watch horror/thrillers unless on Lifetime. This one is a step above lifetime but definitely isn't major box office scary. Would I watch it again? Pffft, only if the kids are killed off in the first few minutes.
Storyline with Nothing New but Two Annoying Girls
Laura (Yvonne Strahovski) drives her car with her two young daughters Kayla (Anna Pniowsky) and Maddie (Abigail Pniowsky) to the remote lake house that belongs to her family. Her husband has an important meeting and will head later. Soon they are threatened by a psychopath and have to fight to survive. Will they succeed?
"He's Out There" is a full of clichés horror film with a storyline with nothing new: a family trapped in danger in a remote area threatened by a masked psychopath. The performance of Yvonne Strahovski and the atmosphere are the best offered to the viewers. But on the other hand, there are two annoying girls that irritate any viewer with their attitudes, whining and screams. My vote is four.

Decent Thriller/Horror
This movie reminded me a bit of the movie The Strangers in a good way. While we didn't get a ton of backstory on the family, the Mom's character was very likable. Her acting was quite good which makes sense as she is Emmy nominated actress. The story was fairly straightforward and had some scary moments with good tension and scares. My only gripe was the Dad character who seemed unbelievably gullible to the point where it didn't even seem realistic. A few small plot holes but overall a decent thriller movie!! Worth a watch
Decent Horror Film
Well contrary to the negative reviews I thought this film was actually pretty good. Im an old hat at horror from zombies to Siberian Film, I've delved into most genres. Nothing scares me or is a new concept anymore but this was a good tense 1 1/2 hours. Some jumpy bits and some gore all the great ingredients needed in a horror pie. Yes the kids screams where shrill, but they are kids and were scared after all!! There were also some anomalies where you think, nah that person should be dead, but hey arent a lot of films like that?! Decent film and good to see a strong female lead!
