Intruders

Posted July 6, 2012 by Speed - 0 comments

Spain. A mother and her son are terrorised by an evil entity called Hollowface. Completely in despair, the mother turns to the local church in the hopes that an exorcism might rid the two of the monster.

London. Construction worker John Farrow and his daughter Mia have a tight relationship but after finding a box near her grandparents’ countryside house, she starts having visions of Hollowface. When also John starts seeing Hollowface appear but the monster isn’t seen on any of the nearby surveillance cameras, John’s wife as well as the police are wondering whether John and Mia are actually telling the truth about there being a monster…

Sound and Vision:
The image and sound of Intruders is decent but nothing special. Just like the movie.

Extras:
- Deleted Scenes
- Interviews
- Making Of

Conclusion:
Intruders is directed by Juan Carlos Fresnadillo who’s previous work includes the splendid zombie sequel 28 Weeks Later. Unfortunately, we won’t be calling Intruders “splendid”. The two storylines that get combined are all but surprising, the monster gets far too much screentime (and bad CGI) to be terrifying, and the plot twists can be seen coming from miles away. And that includes the ending.

The acting isn’t bad and there are a couple of decent scenes present, but it all feels just a bit too much like junkfood. It lacks seasoning and doesn’t surprise in any way.
