Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever

SnoReptilePlenty Memorable, crazy movie

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

Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

craigh01 Yes, as others have said, it's the old female revenge meme, but with a different take. I didn't really like the ending, I could thing of a few different ways to end the movie that would have been more satisfying. So, this woman lives in this house, and apparently she has inherited a lot of money. And her brother dies. Now she's alone. And she has agoraphobia, she's afraid to leave the house.Then, people come in to steal her money. What the intruders don't know is that... she has some, shall we say... problems... ! I search long and hard to find a good movie, usually to be disappointed, but this is a good one. As others have said, it's more thriller than horror. Needless to say, problems and difficulties ensue for all involved...Fun to the very end.

cmovies-99674 PROS: The acting was pretty solid in this film. I enjoyed how unwavering the characters were when it came to expressing pain. Pain is such a hard emotion to show especially 100% of the time, so I give credit to the actors here. I also love how fitting the movie cover is.CONS: For me the largest problem would be the extreme amount of plot holes. This movie goes from one basic idea and completely dumps that idea and goes with a whole new one. The transition itself was not done with tact nor was it helpful at all. As soon as you got comfortable the director took away any stability established in the film. There were just so many confusing attributes. As soon as they introduced a different plot line they abandoned the other one, and that was the biggest problem. Once a new plot line gets developed it's key to keep the first plot line because a good movie should build off the first one to get to the second one. Therefore, you ended up getting an ending that didn't go together with any of the character development or structure of the movie. www.chorror.com

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.

kosmasp Agoraphobia is nothing to mess with. Though I never had that issue nor do I know anyone with that problem, I can imagine this being very hard and tough to deal with. On the other hand there are much larger problems around the corner (of the house) to deal with. And while it's tough to feel sympathy for characters at times, that doesn't change the fact that this was well thought of.Of course if you already know one of the major twists in the film, you may not appreciate it as much when it comes after the slow beginning. You may have suspected something, but could one really tell this was going to happen? While Kevin was left at home by accident, there is no accident here (none that is not intended that is). Also there are not that many laughs to be had, because this treats the matter as seriously as is possible. And it actually does a pretty good job. Good suspense, nice turns and a good conclusion ... or is it a bad one? That's up to you to find out (read: decide)
