AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks

Dirtylogy It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

Adeel Hail Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

Deanna There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

wesleydlugosz I rarely if ever write a review but I watch an insane amount of movies as I have MS and am housebound. This movie has inspired me to at last do a review or give my opinion.I have watched many a "Home Invasion" movie. This one was different ,which is always good it kept my interest from start to finish and had me hanging on to see what would happen next. I was so into this movie I needed to go to toilet at one stage and forgot I could just pause it , so I held on till the end for about 45 more minutes. That is how engrossed in the movie I was.My 2 favorite Home Invasion style movies in recent years are "Hush" and "The Strangers" I rate this movie up there with those 2. Like Hush it has an added element to it. The main star being agoraphobic was fun to watch and how the movie turned from her seeming to be scared for her life and a helpless pretty young woman, to at times a heartless in control maniacal crazy person. I loved it. I liked how they tied in the story about her brother, they could of mentioned more about her father early on before the brother died. The movie had me yelling out to my brother saying you must watch this. I watch basically only Horror/Thriller/Drama/Supernatural movies. So for me to give a 10 I must be moved by it and find self wanting to talk to people about it. This movie gave me that feeling.I did kind of want to see Rory Culkin's character not leave at the end or leave with the Lead as he seemed to have a crush on her. It was a oh no moment when he popped up in the middle of the film. Like oh no you. You go from feeling sorry for Charlotte to wondering how many people has she played these crazy games with. She was good at portraying to the bad guys that she was helpless even so much that she could not bring self to call the police but then you see the tables turn. In the end I would of liked to have seen her struggle still to leave the house after setting the fire. Instead of walking out so fine. Like her illness was just released all of a sudden and she felt normal. As with a lot of movies it finishes making you wonder what happened next. Did she walk off away free and start a life elsewhere, did the Police pick her up on the road somewhere or did she take the bad guys vehicle and drive off somewhere. All in all I cannot recommend this enough. It never got boring and was fun to watch throughout. A must see for all .

Dan Franzen (dfranzen70) In Intruders, a severely agoraphobic young lady (Beth Riesgraf) is menaced by three baddies in search of cash somewhere in her home. But this isn't a standard home-invasion flick, and she's not the standard victim, either. This Intruders contains a devilish twist about midway through, and suddenly this isn't a movie about a damsel in distress but something wholly different – and much more interesting.Anna (Riesgraf) lives in an old house with her brother Conrad, who's quickly dying of some disease. The two have lived in the house by themselves since their father passed away some ten years earlier, but Anna has developed a paralyzing fear of the outside. She can't even open the door without hyperventilating.Conrad dies very early in the film. The only other person Anna has been in contact with over the past decade has been the faithful delivery boy from Meals on Wheels, Dan (Rory Culkin). A few days before Conrad's death, Dan and Anna discuss the possibility of either leaving their small town for bigger and better things. When Dan says he'd love to strike out on his own somewhere, Anna offers him a sackful of cash. Which Dan turns down.A quick fast-forward to the days after Conrad's death. It's time for the funeral. Anna doesn't go, despite the pleadings of her brother's lawyer. And then, while she's at home doing pretty much nothing, a couple of vehicles pull up in her driveway and men enter the house. They don't know she's there. Because she's not supposed to be there.Riesgraf's Anna is no shrinking violet. At the same time, the thugs aren't exactly one dimensional themselves, with each character carefully defined without being a stereotype. Perhaps this affair won't be as one sided as it initially appeared. After all, this is Anna's home turf.I found Intruders to be fairly brilliant, with a neat twist on a standard plot that ultimately transforms the film from a pile of predictability to a tsunami of terror and guessing.

sol- Three opportunists break into an agoraphobic woman's isolated country home, only to get more than what they bargained for upon deciding to let her live in this home invasion thriller with an inventive and original twist. 'Intruders' (or 'Shut In' as it is also known) is a difficult film to discuss without revealing the twists and turns of the plot; suffice it to say though, the movie is a triumph of production design with thoughtful sound mixing often keeping one on edge; to say that the film makes the best of its single location setting would be a massive understatement. The final act of the movie does not quite stack up as well as the build-up to it. The protagonist's motives in particular are underwhelming and her dark past that is hinted at never quite seems as sinister at it could be. For the most part though, it is an enticing ride that goes in some refreshingly unexpected directions. First time feature film director Adam Schindler handles the material quite well. The gradual zooms-in and crosscut facial reactions of the protagonist when staring at the doorknob, wondering whether she should attend her brother's funeral, are an especially good touch. Beth Riesgraf is reasonably effective in the lead role too and of the three intruders, Martin Starr offers a very compelling performance as the most violent and unpredictable member who will not even let innocent birds stand in his way.

areatw A quick read of the synopsis should be enough to put you off this movie. If, like me, you decide to give it a watch anyway, be prepared for 90 minutes of complete and utter crap.The plot is silly - you can probably gather that just by reading the synopsis, but even I was surprised at just how ridiculous it got. I also found this movie somewhat boring. With the whole thing being set in the same location (the house), you need an engaging plot to keep it interesting. This movie fails to keep it interesting.Unless you're a fan of cheap, silly horror flicks, then 'Intruders' or 'Shut In' is definitely one to avoid.
