The disturbed twenty year-old Rose Halshford (Miranda Cosgrove) moves with her father, the architect Jerry Halshford (Donal Logue), to an old house after the loss of her mother. Soon Rose meets her next door neighbor Leila Markby (Jenessa Grant) and she learns about the tragic disappearance of the teenager Rachel that was sheltered by the previous owner of her house, Cheri Garrison (Claire Calarco) and her son Marcus (Michael Luckett). Rose suspects of Leila's father Howard Markby (Tom Sizemore) and she also learns that he had been the prime suspect of the police but proved his innocence. Rose overhears noises in the house but her father believes she is still traumatized by the loss of her mother. Rose also dates the constructor Noah Henry (Austin Butler) that is refurbishing the house. When strange events happen in the house, Jerry believes Rose is the responsible. Is his daughter really paranoid?

"The Intruders"is an unoriginal and predictable film full of clichés. The formulaic story seems to be on the shelve ready to be prepared without any creativity. In addition, the lead character is annoying and does not seem to be a twenty year-old college girl. The conclusion is so obvious that irritates. My vote is four.

Title (Brazil): "A Casa do Medo" ("The House of the Fear")

I was curious to see what Miranda Cosgrove could do as a leading lady, all I ever hear is criticism about her acting ability. I never get to see her in anything as what she tends to do doesn't exactly fall into the category of stuff I would watch (With the exception of School Of Rock).

Starring alongside more than competent veterans Donal Logue & Tom Sizemore this horror is one big cliché & steals material from other movies, sticky tape's it all together and calls it original.

Dull and lifeless this is a hard one to make it through as it goes nowhere, is more predictable than a Cena match and goes nowhere.

Not entirely sure how to categorize this movie. It's definitely not horror or a thriller. Most likely someone's idea of suspense. Too bad there wasn't a true suspenseful moment.

I would not recommend this movie. The story is really nothing original as it has bits and pieces from other movies. The acting is nothing special.

Without giving details, it is basically one person has experiences that can't be explained, they are shared with someone else that doesn't believe them. The first person is believed mentally unstable. Nothing new. The extremely slow build-up does not deliver so much as the bat of an eyelash. Not much of a build up at all. Pretty lame actually.

In a nutshell its just boring. If you want to see how boring, knock yourself out. Its a waste of an hour and a half.

Sorry but im done with movies recycling the SAME ideas OVER AND OVER again.I started out hopeful and then it was all downhill from there.Just boring boring.The storyline never lifted off the ground,characters were just thrown in there and as one reviewer commented,this was neither horror nor thriller...it just was..in defense of Miranda Cosgrove this movie is neutral enough that her Nickelodeon fans can watch it and not be scared..you know like your ten year old can watch this and there'd be no issues with being scared..just some very quick blurry glimpses of what i guess must be the girl who's a ghost,but not a very exciting ghost.If you're doing housework or home alone and looking for something to have on in the background this is the movie for you!

This is by FAR the weirdest episode of iCarly. Nickelodeon needs to step up their game.

I Carly star Miranda Cosgrove stars as Rose Halshford, a college student whose life is upended when her mother commits suicide and her workaholic father Jerry Halshford played by Donal Logue (Quinn from Blade/ Harvey in Gotham) decides to move them across the country to a fixer upper house and Rose begins to experience strange things in the house which has a dark secret of its own.

Miranda did an amazing job starring in this movie. I'm glad they had her play a college student because she looks too old to play a high school student again. She looked like she could be a college student. The cute Austin Butler played Noah Henry, the guy who is working on fixing up the home and has a thing for Rose. Her neighbor the somewhat obnoxious Leila Markby played by Jessica Grant whose upset because her parents are getting a divorce and Tom Sizemore's quiet performance as Leila's dad Howard Markby.

It's a pretty good thriller and reminded me of movies like the 2012 The Pact and 2016 The Boy. Rose's dad is an architect who works alot and leaves Rose alone alot in a creepy house. Due to being traumatized by her mother's death and being forced to take a leave of absence from Stanford, prior to the events of this movie, Jerry had Rose in therapy and on medication afraid she would share the same fate as his wife and suffer from schizophrenia. So when Rose tells them of seeing things, her nightmares, or objects disappearing and reappearing, it's hard for him to believe her.

With this movie, the characters and suspects are shown and while the movie plays on, the viewer begins to pick who's the possible guilty party. Are these figments in Rose's head? Is she really nuts and imagining things? Is it the cute guy constantly popping up? Is he real? Is it the neighbor next door who had a connection to the house's dark secret? This movie leads you in one direction and shocks you by going a different direction. I wasn't surprised due to being desensitized by a stranger than fiction real world. But I still enjoyed the film.

I don't know exactly why but one of my favorite scenes in the movie was when the younger cast members are in the living room talking about the house's dark past and when the conversation could have went one way, the conversation was led back to a mature conversation which focused on the plot at hand.

I also liked how Noah and Rose's relationship was played out. Was he a figment of her imagination or was he too good to be true? It wasn't rushed and very tasteful and organic.

The movie was very realistic like it could happened in real life which it probably has and this is how rational human beings would react and handle this type of predicament. I enjoyed it and would watch it again. I liked how the actors played these characters in a natural way and no one tried to out act the other. It was a really good film with a good script, a great cast, and was well directed. I really liked it.

Actually a decent film of the genre. Recently I read a review of another film in which the reviewer stated that people today only rate at the top or the bottom. That seems to be the case here as well. This film could have been better. The resolution could have been more surprising and the background of the truth could have been a little deeper. Will I watch this movie more than once? Probably not. But it wasn't bad at all. It's at least a 6. Sometimes I rate movies a little higher if I feel they were underrated. But in this case, I can confidently rate it a 7 out of 10 without feeling like I'm cheating.

The plot is so bad, its mind numbing. I don't care, in general, what movie reviewers have to say. However, all of them are pretty spot on for this.

Terrible plot- Most times a movie knows where its going with its plot, this on the other hand seemed like it was improvising every step of the way. Nothing original, nothing new, doesn't add anything to the genre.

Terrible Acting-Miranda Cosgrove is so bad in this. All the other characters are forgettable as well.

Terribly not scary- It's laughable really.

and above all just a really bad job with everything. Time that you will never get back.

Very, very bad acting, Miranda Cosgrove and Michael Luckett being the worst of all, Austin Butler the only one being sort of good.

Directing, no comment.

Screenplay, omg, it's some kind of collage of bits taken from other movies. Forget about gradually building up towards a suspense or any suspense at all. I don't think that the writer even tried.

The only thing that I liked about the movie was the house.

It got me through a migraine attack without making it worse so I guess it could be worse than that, hence the extra star. There are some worse movies but not much.

If you are having trouble sleeping then this is the movie for you!! Give it fifteen minutes and you'll be completely flat out. No bumps, no jumps, no scares. No atmosphere, no good acting, no likable characters, no story, no script and absolutely no reason whatsoever to watch this abomination of a SO CALLED MOVIE. I mean, I've seen some bad films but this is the dregs. Please, please do not waste your precious time, you will regret it and certainly do not pay to view. I want to end finish on that note but still have seventy words for the stupid six hundred word review!! I don't normally write reviews as who am I to judge but I felt I need to warn you not to bother. Thank you and Goodnight.

Lame, routine horror about intruders that appear to have no faces. Not too scary to say the least. seek out many, many better examples, if you are that way inclined.

I couldn't still find the horror to this. Just another let's-pretend-to where you never get too far: plain mockery. Not to mention its extremely low pace and wasting/filling time in whatever nuisance out of reason. I should have seen it coming!

Couldn't even reach one hour time and gave in. Absolutely not recommended!

Everybody who knows Miranda Cosgrove, remembers her mostly from her Nickelodeon shows: Drake & Josh and ICarly. I really liked watching Drake and Josh. I didn't like ICarly that much, it was too cheesy of a show. I also can only think of two movies I've seen with Miranda Cosgrove in which are School Of Rock, and Yours Mine and Ours. However, I felt like Miranda Cosgrove did better in this role. Rather then play a comical character, she has a more serious role in The Intruders which I felt she looked better in.

I got this movie from RedBox a couple of days ago. Anybody who gets movies from RedBox, knows there are a lot of movies on the screen which are movies you haven't heard of. Obviously, not movies that came out in the movie theaters. They seem like more of their own independent movies from a movie studio we are not familiar with and frequently filmed in Canada. Some of these independent films actually are good. My favorite movie which I also got from RedBox and also left a review on is called Junior High Spy. Some of the independent movies also aren't well done, which might be our expectation from them. However, this movie was great. Miranda Cosgrove is also a well-known actress and had the main role in this independent film.

What was great about this movie. It was a fun horror movie to watch. A movie that will keep you scared, but not like too scared that will make you afraid to be alone in a room. This movie shows how a girl feels about recent stressors in her life, which some people believe are the reason she is claiming to experience the Supernatural. She shows a lot of emotion, and real character. Also, I remember her as the annoying sister in Drake and Josh who pranks her brothers throughout the series, and seems to get away with everything. In this movie, we see her as more of a victim.

If you're up for a horror movie, then I'd recommend getting this. I personally loved it, and I like the feelings you get when watching a movie you find very entertaining and don't know what to expect. I also have to say that unless you're watching a matinée at the movie theaters, watching movies seems much more fun at night than during the day. This is a great movie to watch at night. It entertained me enough to give it a 10/10.

I didn't think the intruders is particularly a bad film. Sure it might follow the same type of formula as other TV thrillers but this one you could tell had a better budget. This is also Miranda Cosgroves first thriller and for that I'd say she does a good job here and she's believable and much more disjointed from Carley Shay that we have come to love. She plays rose, a young girl that moves into a house with her father jerry, a architect that wants to do it up. Rose knows though that something is up after some weird occurrences and it's not long before they are in trouble. The plot is done well, cast was chosen well and it has good thriller elements. Overall not a bad watch and much better than the description gives it credit for.

When something horrible has happened at a house ... you'd expect people not lining up to go there ... and live there. On the other hand, you do expect anyone selling/renting those houses, not to tell people anything about that. I mean in movies you don't expect them too ... to give the characters some modicum of respect - and so that the viewers will not hate them from the start.

This is quite the mediocre horror movie overall and apart from the cliches more than a little bit predictable. You may like it more than others and it is well done technically speaking ... but there is not much more to it.

First of all, when I first watched the official trailer of the movie I kinda liked it, even though I didn't really had high expectations about it. Eventually, it was as bad as I had imagined and I didn't really enjoyed it. The plot of the movie was very interesting and mysterious, but not really innovative because there are too many movies similar to this one. Sadly, the storyline wasn't very well written, nor well-explained and it was very simple. The characters were very interesting, well-developed and likeable. The filming location of the movie was mainly, inside a big, creepy house. The casting was nice and their acting was descent, Miranda's performance was really good. I have to admit, it wasn't a scary movie and there weren't any jumpscares. Also, it wasn't very intense and not really promising. Moreover, the ending scene wasn't very well-explained and I didn't really liked it. Overall, "The Intruders" wasn't a nice horror movie, not well executed and I wouldn't recommend it to my friends.
