Redwarmin This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

SunnyHello Nice effects though.

Supelice Dreadfully Boring

Haven Kaycee It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

byungchulhan Judging by the comment boards, this is what occurs when a movie like this garners very little attention: Viewers take the story too literally without attempting to think why the director added these things. Tell me... do you really think that the director purposely would've created such a melodramatic tale of two separate children being haunted by the same monster who eventually loses power at the end? And do you really believe that the dad simply stood by his daughter for experiencing a physical altercation with Hollowface?Does this really not match up to you people?If you were able to map this plot out, go deeper than how the movie appears, you would have seen a fascinating PSYCHOLOGICAL thriller developed through the utilization of a disturbed father carrying reminiscent fears of his childhood into his daughter's life. Hollowface possesses no physical manifestation, he is simply a product of terror and imaginative fear. It's all about psychology, thus this being a psychological thriller. The parallel story doesn't automatically correlate to an intersection between two stories occurring simultaneously either. There's a valid reason why the father is able to SEE Hollowface... It's because the tale of the little boy JUAN is JOHN's childhood experience... The trauma he had experienced never ceased although he was able to let go of it for a while. Also a great connection the movie made was the utilization of fathers as gateways into the kids' terrors. For John as a child, his dad was taken away to jail and for a reason or another he may have been traumatized (not sure for what, didn't pay attention to the beginning) and saw his dad coming back each night to haunt him. His mother understands the difficulties Juan faces, but is unable to do much for him at night because of the stepdad that has come into their lives (who casually dismisses Juan's nightly combat with the "monster"). For Mia, her dad was the one who planted the outline of the Hollowface story in the tree after John moved to England with his mother, and for years it remained in the tree. Yet Mia finds it one day and she is engulfed in this story, but slowly captures her psychologically and she soon fears of the same monster that haunted John as a child. She only begins to view manifestations of this monster when John attempts to comfort her, because he and her share the same fears derived from the original Hollowface John created as a response to trauma with his dad. Together they are the only ones who can see this "monster" and therefore are the only ones affected. The ending is a cross between psychology and reality (it's really up to you to decide), where Mia is liberated from her fears of Hollowface as a result of John relinquishing his trauma and fear of Hollowface that continued to haunt him out of his love for Mia. At the end as he tells Mia that parents are the reasons monsters including Hollowface can never get to their children, it's a conviction he has to himself and a reminder of his mother who helped liberate him from his own fears initially. This is an extremely fascinating movie, and while it bored me on many occasions, I loved the implications and connections it presented, in a very discreet manner. It's astonishing however to see so many digest the movie in minutes and take the face value so literally. I suggest watching it again and really looking out for the connections, metaphors, and message it tries to present. Intruders is quite the movie.

tvmovienews Intruders is a Spanish horror film directed by Juan Carlos Fresnadillo (28 Weeks Later) and stars Clive Owen. It follows two children living in different parts of the world, who are visited nightly by a faceless being who wants to take possession of them. I thought the poster looked kind of interesting and I really like Clive Owen, but unfortunately you can't always judge a movie by its poster. This was really average and reminded me of that terrible movie 'Boogeyman' that came out in 2005. I always watch horror films late at night by myself, with all of the lights off and the curtains open so every creek outside can help add to the atmosphere. Even by doing this, it still didn't help this film. The CGI used to create the main villain known as 'Hollowface' was also really unimpressive and didn't give off a creepy vibe at all. While watching the start of the film and realising the main intentions of Hollowface was to steal little kids faces because he didn't have one of his own, I knew this movie didn't have much hope. I have seen a hell of a lot of crappy horror films and I can deal with that, but what really annoyed me was seeing Clive Owen ruin his career by choosing such terrible roles. He is so much better than this, what is he thinking?My Rating: 2.5/10For more Movie and TV News, Reviews and Rumours go to: www.facebook.com/tvmovienews

Marcel L. I usually love this type of movie: not being full of effects, full of violence and/or gore. But having a story to tell in some "spooky", or more like mysterious kind of way. With brilliant actors and a good twist at the end. In case of "Intruders" though, I was disappointed right from the beginning, as, for an, let's call it "advanced viewer", parts of the conclusion got presented right at the beginning of the movie. From that minute it's just speculating if you are right or wrong. When reaching the end you have to admit you weren't all right, but yeah, you knew it would end like this. This wouldn't be something new or would make a movie really bad, but Intruders got nothing else to shine with. The Plot isn't told in a good way. It's more like waiting for something to happen finally. And when you come to that point, there is no big surprise and not THAT BIG of a story-twist if you ask me. The more than average attempt to build up suspension with a rather "everyday plot" is what's left. It's too bad the movie's ending can't live up to that bit of given suspension. The good actors finally can't rescue this movie after all this. You will reach the point where you just want it to end.I recommend this movie to people who were really surprised at the end of "the sixth sense", which did present the "surprise" right at the beginning too (even if people still say they didn't knew what would happen, I personally can't believe it). For the story, it's more like "the machinist"...maybe. It's a rather calm movie with some "thrilling" effects. But nothing that prevents you from sleeping after seeing it. Also you won't think about it for the next few days, so it's really a gentle experience you want to have sitting at home, not really concentrating, since there's just not much to follow at the screen.Soooo, that's 4 Stars from me for pretty good acting, some thrills, average story, and a well-known but not convincing construction of the movie.

rbrb A child is being visited by a boogeyman. But is it real or is it imaginary? Who knows? Who cares! Whilst there are some good scenes and decent acting especially from the child stars,the movie is ruined by a ludicrously convoluted story line and plot.Even after watching the film and doing some research I am at a loss to understand what was going on and I believe many others are likewise scratching their heads too.At the end of a film when all the strands of the story should fall into place and make sense, the opposite happens and many viewers will be left confused and let down.4/10.
