I am a big fan of Horror / thriller, so when i first heard about Intruders and that it started Clive Owen, I instantly got hooked and waited eagerly for the DVD release.
I must say, i was not disappointed. from the start of the movie, i immediately got hooked with the characters and the story, which involved two separate parts that later on joined together in a nice little twist.
both involved young kids in two different countries " need to watch this with subtitles " haunted by something which remained unclear for the audience at first, the kids seemed to believe that they are some sort of monster or spirit which are going after those two kids to steal their faces !!
As i mentioned earlier, i was intrigued and so was my wife whom i watched this with, the plot kept it us interested in it strongly, there was a creepy atmosphere to it and very well execute Horror like style.
It felt like an old fashioned Horror / Thriller that depended heavily on the plot and storytelling.
It reminded a bit of a recent Horror i've seen and liked as well " Don't be afraid of the dark ", with lots of stylish old fashioned creepy Horror.
One part of the movie takes place in England, where we find Clive Owen and Carice Van Houten as parents of a single little girl who is haunted by the spirits, i enjoyed this part a lot, and found the acting very superb by both Owen and Van Houten as the confused and worried parents.
the little girl played by Ema Purnell was convincing and i thought Purnell was really talented.
the other part takes place in Spain, and here its a boy who is haunted by the same spirit and is struggling with his mom to get rid of it or explain it, and of course the language spoken is Spanish, hence the subtitles.
the movie shifts between the two stories every now and then that might be annoying to some viewers i would expect.
So to make short, i thought that it was an intriguing movie, very well executed and quite entertaining, the ending however might have been better and could be the reason why some on here did not really like it, but for me, it was not bad enough to make this film a failure.
I'd say 8 out of 10

Two elements to this film that make it interesting to me; Clive Owen and a ghost story are very intriguing. Two stories simultaneously going on at the same time also has an appealing ring, making the film more stimulating. I travel weekly on business for Dish making my passion for movies even more enchanting. Airports can get mighty boring without a great thriller to pull me out of reality and into someone’s nightmare. I feed my habit by subscribing to Blockbuster @Home getting new releases by mail as soon as they hit DVD status. When I have a date with Clive Owen in my hotel room playing one of his fantastic roles on my laptop, it doesn’t get much better.
