Straight bin juice
This movie is basically what a film student would make right after graduation when they are putting a ton of value into the cinematography and score instead of the actual plot. The main character looks like Heidi Montag from the Hills, but the way too skinny version. She also has the most boring life I could possibly imagine, and her apartment is way too big considering she does nothing but drink wine, shower and be the most oblivious person ever for the whole movie. There are several scenes with absolutely NO payoff so basically a waste of time. The film ends in the LAMEST way possible and yes I watched the stupid middle credits ending scene. (btw if you are getting murdered with a plastic bag over your head, don't be an idiot.. just rip a hole in the bag where your mouth is). Her cat was the star of this movie and honestly, I'd rather listen to lil yatchy's entire discography than watch this movie again.
More producers than cast members
That should be an enormous red flag. When you have to hit up everyone you know to twist their arm to get them to kick in for your movie you should listen to them and think 'maybe this is a bad plan. Moreover, when the lead actress is married to the CEO of a production company that's not involved in the movie just maybe it's a radioactive slag heap. It's not all bad. She's pretty to look at in a cold Gillian Anderson kind of way. Or if Tori Spelling were good looking. The housecat is also very soothing. What's not good is her on again off again American accent that lapses into Scottish. Some weird things in the movie are, does she live in a house or an apt? Either way it's 3x.the size of my home. But I have a washer dryer and she doesn't. Why are the people taking so many showers? Seems that normal is taking 3 showers a day. Why do Portland thunderstorms go on for 3 or 4 days? Wouldn't that be some kind of state of emergency? How does a home with no direct access to the outdoors be something a cat repeatedly escapes from? Don't dead bodies start to smell? How do you take 3 showers a day AND wander around in an endless hurricane and your hair is never wet and your makeup is always perfect? When did changing a lightbulb become fearsome? Why does it take 12 hrs to call someone who's missing? How do hot women live on nothing but two sips wine every 4 days, even if, like her sleeps 20 hrs a day?
I don't understand the killer's motive
I don't understand the killer's motive. The killer stalks the girl throughout the runtime, with exception to that cliché intro kill. He stalks her, then at the end, abducts her, then he just kills her. He stalks her for DAYS! He lives in her house without her knowledge! He pees in her sink just to mess with her. Then, he just kills her at the end. I don't understand why he didn't just kill her from the start if that was his goal. He had a S&M dungeon all set up. It makes no sense!
Home Invasion Dud
Ooof, this movie. Where do I begin? I love home invasion movies. It's one of my greatest real life fears (though it'd be nearly impossible for someone to be chillin' in my house without me knowing because a) I have a dog who would rip their face off, and b) my house is tiny as hell). This means it's generally pretty easy for a home invasion movie to creep me out. So when there's one that fails at even that basic criteria, there's a problem. I feel like it's just such a group of stereotypes all packed into one movie. The eerie music, the super shallow shots with a man lurking in the background, the pretty blonde, the dark and stormy night (and then next day and then next night and it continues on ), the introduction of multiple men who could ALL be the intruder in question. It's tired. But ultimately, hardly anything really HAPPENS. There's a dramatic introduction that tells us, in no uncertain terms, that a murdering intruder is on the loose but then it's pretty much nothing but tense moments of watching the intruder skulking throughout her home. For DAYS, Y'ALL. Like this guy is downright COMFORTABLE in her home, and I'm getting comfortable WATCHING him in her home, because nothing is happening except him creeping around. Boring. Plus Moby makes a few appearances as the main character, Elizabeth's, sketchy tutor or teacher or whatever he is (and yo, dude, acting isn't your forte). A boring script, overdone clichés, and plot hole after plot hole made this a dud for me.
Psychologically creepy; Extremely disappointing.
Intruder is a film that succeeds with the psychological fear that someone could be sneaking around in your house, right under your nose. Stalking you, and overall watching you. Anything else, however? No. We follow our character Elizabeth who is an up, and coming orchestra musician. Her life is then provoked as an intruder makes his way into her home, watching her when she isn't looking. The plot of this film, for starters was utterly cliché. There have been countless films that use the following gimmick - Girl / guys' life is becoming a dream, they plan everything they want to do - but in the process of doing so, their life is suddenly turned, and provoked. And it all comes crashing down before them. We've seen this gimmick countless times before, and this film literally just throws the cliché right at our faces. To add onto the cliché plot, the execution of said cliché in this film was actually quite bad. The delivery of the clichéd plot felt flawed, and overall came across the line as completely boring, uneventful, and even tedious. Through this entire film the occurrences displayed felt boring, lifeless, and even cardboard - like. Nothing really felt as if it was coming through in a way that would phase. We literally sit for about 30 - to even 50 minutes of the film listening to convocations that end up being completely pointless, and feeling as if it was there to serve as run - time. Throughout the film, this "intruder" doesn't make a single move. Only once does he make a move that negatively affects the main character's life. One. Other than that, we're patiently awaiting for the alleged intruder to strike, but in the end he never does. This film's pacing was agonizingly long, it felt. Something that's quite bad, obviously for a horror movie. The pacing just felt atrocious in the sense this is a home invasion film, it deeply lacks any action, or anything that poses the killer as menacing, scary, or terrifying. The film throws probably one of the most obvious "twists" at the viewer as well, a twist that can be easily, easily seen, and when finally is shown is utterly disappointing, and fails to add any shock value, or thrill. This movie in its entirety lacks thrills, and overall entertaining aspects. Something that should be taken advantage of ( I'd assume ) in a home invasion film. The only thing positively I can really say is that the film somewhat managed to touchdown on the psychological fear of someone lurking in the darkness of your house. I can also say the acting was some-what decent, but in all honesty I feel as if the film threw characters in that we really don't end up, in the end, caring about. Again, the films execution, even with the characters, is boring. To wrap things up, this was an atrociously disappointing film. It seems to try quite hard to add thrills, or to even phase the audience, but when reaching the end of the film it ends up failing in the much needed aspect. This film deeply lacked needed elements for a successful home invasion flick, let alone horror flick. The film drags excruciatingly long, having absolutely no pay off. The film attempts to add a twist, but said twist is extremely obvious, and blatant halfway through the film if you're one to make theories. The ending to the film paid off in no way, shape, or form, in fact actually set this film to an all time low, I feel. To top it all off, there were also some pointless add- on's to this film as well. For example a character that randomly spooks Elizabeth, then disappears. Never to be seen again. And finally, this entire film never explains itself, and just falls flat on its face entirely. By no means to I recommend this film. I can even, honestly go as far as to say this was one, if not THE disappointing "horror" film of the entire 2016 year. I understand all, in all it was an attempt. But this was a cliché from the start, and as a whole just seemed pointless.
