I do not know if I am the right person to write a review for this movie. Only because I get scared a little easier than the next person. But for this film, It kept me on the edge of my seat, It had my attention the whole time. Even made me jump a few times. You will not regret it once watching this movie. Kind of made me scared to go right to sleep after seeing it, because I thought something was hiding in the dark corners. Very interesting, but causes your mind to go nuts. Would watch this film again if I had the right person to watch it with. My cat can not save me with films like this. HA HA. But Hope this review makes you want to watch it. I promise you will love it!

Generally it is hard to make a movie with fresh enough twists nowadays but there are a certain group of movies which are able to achieve just that. Clive owen is not an actor who particularly excites me. But in this movie he has done his job pretty well. But I was most impressed by Ella Purnell's performance as the daughter Mia. I guess she is not as young as the character but her performance is still impressive. I loved the constant switching from one story to the other and the final realization about what it was all about. The plot is a little complicated. Well the premise isn't but the details quite honestly are. I didn't get the ending at first and I had to read through the boards to find out what all of this meant. It isn't memorable enough to warrant a 2nd viewing but it is definitely complicated enough. One thing I do have a problem with is the obvious CGI look of the monster and that is something I really have a problem with often.I liked the way the stories connected to each other and how it all came together in the end. The twists are at the appropriate time and the story moves quickly each time revealing something more about the situation. The details are important as well. There are some atmospheric scenes like the scene in the church ("exorcism") and the scenes in the bedroom of Mia. But still I feel it could be longer with more time for build up and less CGI. Oh by the way Carice van houten has a great body!Overall I liked the movie. 7/10

A lot of people are complaining about the pace of the movie. And I do get it, it does take its time. A lot of it. Plus the two story lines are not for everyone either. But in the end it does make sense. Makes it even worth a second viewing if you will. Just to get the dots and connections you might have missed.While the movie is filled with tension, what really fuels it, is Clive Owens performance. It's at least power house what he delivers and it is necessary. I would call this movie not predictable, but maybe some will disagree. Still if you let yourself into the world (one that is well done, by the director), you will have a really good experience with it. And some shockers along the line

"Intruders" is generally well-made: Good acting, script, cinematography, arresting scenery, etc. It's definitely something different, with touches of "Pan's Labyrinth," though nowhere near as good as that film. Yet, the whole storyline has that same half-baked, fragmented feel that we get from so many films these days. Suspenseful at times, with some genuinely harrowing scenes, as well as some clever and surprising tie-ups. In the end, though, the whole feel of "Intruders" is draggy and repetitive. It just didn't play itself out and take me anywhere really interesting. Although some mystery is always nice, a little more revelation of who/what the "monster" is supposed to be--and how it came to be-- would be helpful.I can see why some like (or dislike) it more than I do, but I cannot see why anyone would find "Intruders" a truly special and rewarding film.
