The disturbed twenty year-old Rose Halshford (Miranda Cosgrove) moves with her father, the architect Jerry Halshford (Donal Logue), to an old house after the loss of her mother. Soon Rose meets her next door neighbor Leila Markby (Jenessa Grant) and she learns about the tragic disappearance of the teenager Rachel that was sheltered by the previous owner of her house, Cheri Garrison (Claire Calarco) and her son Marcus (Michael Luckett). Rose suspects of Leila's father Howard Markby (Tom Sizemore) and she also learns that he had been the prime suspect of the police but proved his innocence. Rose overhears noises in the house but her father believes she is still traumatized by the loss of her mother. Rose also dates the constructor Noah Henry (Austin Butler) that is refurbishing the house. When strange events happen in the house, Jerry believes Rose is the responsible. Is his daughter really paranoid?"The Intruders"is an unoriginal and predictable film full of clichés. The formulaic story seems to be on the shelve ready to be prepared without any creativity. In addition, the lead character is annoying and does not seem to be a twenty year-old college girl. The conclusion is so obvious that irritates. My vote is four.Title (Brazil): "A Casa do Medo" ("The House of the Fear")

I rented this the other night, and was surprised how good it was. I didn't know any of the actors except Tom Sizemore. This was finally a good suspense filled movie without all the gore, torture, and nonsense you see in today's horror movies. I am a classic horror fan, not into today's blood, gore, guts type movies like; SAW. I like the old school horror, like Friday, Psycho, Halloween, and Nightmare. This movie was up my alley, it was like watching a Norman Bates type movie. It kept me glued to the screen from the time it started til' the end. Just when you think you know who is behind it, comes a twist. When watching this movie I had two suspects; and both were wrong. I was shocked when I found out who was responsible in the end. This is a great suspense filled movie that makes you think, and how many horror films can say that. This is well worth the rental, if you like suspense, thriller movies this is for you.THX, Kris L.

Very predictable and copies off most thriller films. Daughter and Father move into big house, daughter doesn't like it, father says shes stupid, daughter begins seeing strange figures in the house or outside, father says shes stupid, random love interest shows up and love sprouts in a tasteless fashion. boyfriend says shes stupid.All turns out some grown up harry potter look alike is hiding in the house and tries to rape and kill her, father saves her. Turned the film off, called it stupid.Rushed, recycled, pointless.No jumps or flinches during the film as you see see whats about to happen before it even happens

Sorry but im done with movies recycling the SAME ideas OVER AND OVER again.I started out hopeful and then it was all downhill from there.Just boring boring.The storyline never lifted off the ground,characters were just thrown in there and as one reviewer commented,this was neither horror nor thriller...it just was..in defense of Miranda Cosgrove this movie is neutral enough that her Nickelodeon fans can watch it and not be scared..you know like your ten year old can watch this and there'd be no issues with being scared..just some very quick blurry glimpses of what i guess must be the girl who's a ghost,but not a very exciting ghost.If you're doing housework or home alone and looking for something to have on in the background this is the movie for you!
