Intruders

At first I was moderately intrigued by the twin developing stories in this film and I find Clive Owen watchable in most things so this was quite an enjoyable film in the early stages with good pacing, reasonably eerie staging of scenes and good acting from both of the young actors. When the plot attempted to become slightly more complex and as the film reached the climax and conclusion it was difficult not to start seeing plot holes. Ultimately it felt like there was a missed opportunity to escalate the terror further and the reveal about what was occurring made goings on suddenly very personal to the characters whereas at the start the terror appeared to be a universal one. I think fans of horror will enjoy this but I think I just personally expected more from a non-US production as they often have a more cerebral approach to horror (not that all US horrors are mindless slashers before anyone feels I am being dismissive).

I found this movie enjoyable. I like getting really scared in a movie to the point that I have to sleep with a bat that night, but it didn't happen with this one. This movie was an okay movie,but I really loved the plot twist at the end. Although, the acting was impressive. Clive Owen, the father of Mia, did a fantastic job in the role of the father to a helpless little girl. At times, the most distracting part were the not- so-great CGI effects on 'Hollow Face's character. The one thing I loved is that it makes you relieve the childhood days of the monster-under-the- bed stories, and the always scary monster-in-the-closet. I was a very skittish child, and I found that this reminded me of those night when I would sleep with my parents because of nightmares. If you like borderline drama-thrillers... this is a good movie to ease you into horror; however, it was not scary, and don't let your younger kids watch it alone.

I really wanted to like this film! I love Clive Owen and was going to get over the fact that Naomi Watts was in so much of it. It never drew me in unfortunately. There's a twist that the watcher can easily figure out before the big reveal. It's still worth a watch. Special effects are fun. I would still recommend this movie!
