No , nope not this one either, yes this one, they couldn’t find another title Ok so a little back story this movie was originally titled “Shut IN” but apparently they couldn’t find a better title  Intruders. I don’t Know!!! Lets continue….

This movie Stars Rory Culkin brother of Macaulay culkin from the home alone movies, Beth Riesgraf,  JackKesy yup the vampire dude whos “you know what” falls off in the first season of Strain and Martin Starr from the Silicon Valley, geeks and freaks.

The previous movies which have come before this one titled intruders have more or less bombed on the box office and with the critics alike but could this movie be the one to change that ??? well lets see.

It is a story about a girl called anna.  She stays in a house with her brother Conrad who is suffering from cancer. When he dies, he leaves her with good amount of money so that she can take care of her self.  One day three men break into her house and try to rob her but little do they know that she has a dungeon.  Hunters become the hunted.  She hasn’t left her house for 10 years because she suffers from agoraphobia. Extreme Fear of open or public places.

Let me tell you my first impressions of the movie after watching the trailer. The premise was very interesting and it almost seemed like the movie which had  tarantinoesk  vibe to it. But the movie’s plot does not work. There are certain pivotal scenes where certain things just happen so that the plot can move forward. If you see the graph for the movie it would look like this. It started off well but I lost interest by the end of the film.

The movie is filled with plot holes, I would have ignored them all if the ending would have been good but because the ending was so predictable this movie didn’t work. You keep waiting for this big twist but when it finally arrives it is not as satisfying as it should be.One of the major downfalls of the movie is in the acting department, Beth gives a decent performance but jack kesy who has an important scene in the end of the movie does not give a believable performance. His acting is not convincing enough. Rory’s character goes through a lot of pain but he fails to deliver that cringe worthy performance and in the later scenes he seems to forget that his character is under extreme pain.This may also be because of the writing of the film;some of the lines are just down right stupid. Martin starr plays a cliché wild card who tries to kill anna from the get go. He gives a good performance out of the bunch.

Good twists, engaging dialogue, little bit of Gore, these are the things that you expect from a movie like this but insteadyou get a poorly acted, poorly written movie with a predictable ending. The execution of the film isn’t as brilliant as the idea of the film.

I give this movie 5/10.

Give it try if you have couple of hours to kill.
