This puts a crimp in Intruders ability to provide a satisfying scare.

A twist ending generally seems to disappoint horror fans, but it makes sense and is perfectly acceptable.

The only thing scarier than a good horror movie is having to sit through a really bad one.

Like the best of recent Spanish fright fare, Pans Labyrinth, it harnesses the vulnerability and powerful imagination of children.

Intruders is, fortunately, a better movie than the generically bland title suggests.
Paste Magazine

Intruders is a slow going psychological thriller with very few thrills and little intrigue.
IGN

If you dont guess the big twist in the first 30 minutes, Intruders is half of a good movie.If you do, its about a third of a good movie.
San Francisco Chronicle

Though short on shocks and mild in horror terms, Fresnadillos fantasy has a lot of heart and sincerity in equal measure.

INTRUDERS is a unique and old fashioned horror story that relies on shadows and suspense.

The twist will likely infuriate many, but Fresnadillos effort to give audiences something different has to be appreciate. Owen is excellent.

With nothing tangible at stake, Intruders is just an aggregation of influences thats as blank as its bogeyman.
