Wonderful Movie

Who payed the critics

Too much of everything

Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

It kinda saddened me that this movie went straight to DVD and digital download and didn't get a theater release but these things happen. So on the night of it's release, I started my download from iTunes right at midnight when it was available. I guess the movie description pretty much sums up the movie so I wont go deeply into it. What I do want to say is our beautiful beyond belief protagonist Rose is not the usual weak helpless woman like in other similar films in the genre. In other similar films, no one ever believes the victim, here her father doesn't but there's a good reason for it, here Rose has new friends that do believe her. The viewer is made to believe that Rose may or may not have mental problems. Rose has gone through some traumatic mental issues due to her mother's death. Thus the move to a new city and new house, to get a fresh start. Right away through Rose's exploration of the house you get the feeling of how she dislikes her new home and being that this all takes place in the dead of winter, there is a sort of claustrophobic feel since Rose has nowhere to run to and can't escape the possible antagonist in their new home that is messing with her, be it the weird father neighbor next door, the handyman, maybe it's supernatural, or maybe Rose has just gone insane. This movie does have a nice creep factor going on throughout.To be honest, it feels like writer Jason Juravic used the idea for this movie from the 1974 TV movie "Bad Ronald". As for the acting, the entire cast did a fine job. Miranda Cosgrove surprised me though. She did a very fine job being that this was her first time doing mystery/suspense. Jason Juravic did drop the ball a bit in writing. The antagonist was weak in story and background. It's as if Juravic rushed the story or had problems putting it together to make a cohesive and comprehensible story. It was messy and it showed towards the end. Director Adam Massey can share in the blame too. It's safe to say that Adam Massey is no Alfred Hitchcock. This seems to be his second film as director, first in the mystery/suspense genre. I don't really know him or his work, the only other thing he has done is television director work on those 'Man vs.' shows. Maybe another director that knows the genre could have done a better job but what's done is done. Still, I loved this movie. It was fun. The target audience are definitely tweens, early teens and any Miranda Cosgrove fan. The old, jaded by every movie on earth crowd won't like this, hell, they don't like anything. Being that I am a hardcore Miranda Cosgrove fan, I gave this a 10 but if it was any other actress, this movie would get a 7 from me. One last thing, the title 'The Intruders' relates to Rose and her father being the 'Intruders' in the house.

Everybody who knows Miranda Cosgrove, remembers her mostly from her Nickelodeon shows: Drake & Josh and ICarly. I really liked watching Drake and Josh. I didn't like ICarly that much, it was too cheesy of a show. I also can only think of two movies I've seen with Miranda Cosgrove in which are School Of Rock, and Yours Mine and Ours. However, I felt like Miranda Cosgrove did better in this role. Rather then play a comical character, she has a more serious role in The Intruders which I felt she looked better in.I got this movie from RedBox a couple of days ago. Anybody who gets movies from RedBox, knows there are a lot of movies on the screen which are movies you haven't heard of. Obviously, not movies that came out in the movie theaters. They seem like more of their own independent movies from a movie studio we are not familiar with and frequently filmed in Canada. Some of these independent films actually are good. My favorite movie which I also got from RedBox and also left a review on is called Junior High Spy. Some of the independent movies also aren't well done, which might be our expectation from them. However, this movie was great. Miranda Cosgrove is also a well-known actress and had the main role in this independent film.What was great about this movie. It was a fun horror movie to watch. A movie that will keep you scared, but not like too scared that will make you afraid to be alone in a room. This movie shows how a girl feels about recent stressors in her life, which some people believe are the reason she is claiming to experience the Supernatural. She shows a lot of emotion, and real character. Also, I remember her as the annoying sister in Drake and Josh who pranks her brothers throughout the series, and seems to get away with everything. In this movie, we see her as more of a victim.If you're up for a horror movie, then I'd recommend getting this. I personally loved it, and I like the feelings you get when watching a movie you find very entertaining and don't know what to expect. I also have to say that unless you're watching a matinée at the movie theaters, watching movies seems much more fun at night than during the day. This is a great movie to watch at night. It entertained me enough to give it a 10/10.

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!
