Driving by their deep will of stealing the house, three thieves, who plan for making a robbery at a house thinking to be empty, but there, they face Anna, a young girl suffers from agoraphobia, the thing that challenges them.
The actors alone can't sustain "Intruders" for its full 90 minutes, but for the most part they follow Starr's lead, carrying a film that's both menacing and magnetic.
[director] Schindler plays these cat-and-mouse tropes expertly, as hunter and hunted repeatedly swap roles - but Schindler proves equally adept at playing our initial sympathies with Anna off against our escalating moral unease.
A debut film that has enough narrative aplomb, which is perceived through a welcome fluidity and not a little dryness to solve situations that in so many other thrillers tend to stretch artificially and / or confusingly. [Full review in Spanish]
"Intruders," a distasteful thriller with a bludgeoning sensibility and little common sense, turns a cozy family home into a clockwork house of horrors.
Intruders ultimately comes across like basic-cable schlock (or is it Netflix schlock now?), slightly redeemed by the germ of a great idea, even if said idea never truly germinates.
[W]hat Intruders lacks most is a sense of a personal touch, and as a result, the film's original reversal of home invasion genre is lost in the blandness of its' presentation.
