The Intruder's reviews
Media reviews
Los Angeles Times
Directed by Deon Taylor with a cheeky sense of fun and deep knowledge of the genre, The Intruder is the kind of schlocky yet satisfying genre filmmaking that makes you jump and laugh at the same time.
Vulture
It?s the rare actor who can make playing a character this messy look so effortless.
The Guardian
The Intruder isn?t bringing much that?s new to the table but what it does, it does well, and there?s something to admire about its stark efficiency, dragging us along with full force, even if we know exactly where we?re going.
The A.V. Club
The film is so full of jump scare fake-outs and shout-at-the-screen moments, it neglects to build sustained suspense ? a far worse sin than its lack of logic, which can actually be kind of fun.
New York Times
More silly than scary. This doesn?t seem to be entirely intentional, and it isn?t altogether unwelcome.
Entertainment Weekly
The whole thing would be more fun if 'Intruder' just committed fully to the schlocky midnight-movie glory of it all.
The Hollywood Reporter
A cookie-cutter thriller that takes its time getting to the (sorta) good stuff, it's for die-hards only.
The Wrap
'The Intruder' rings incredibly hollow.
