Well filmed and produced, but was just so obvious from the first act, if you're like my partner and enjoy jump scares that others can see coming a mile off you might like it.
It's under 90 minutes so not bad to put on if you want something that doesn't need concentrating on before bed, or maybe after a few drinks.

Just watched this on a Saturday night and for what it is, it's ok. It is not an Oscar winning film but it is a good watch with popcorn and a few jump scares. Seems to be harshly reviewed and although the acting isn't perfect, there are a lot worse films out there. Just give it a go.

Yes if you have seen a thriller (or two or more), you probably will get where this movie is heading. So there won't be too many surprises story wise, but I like the actors (doing a great job). And even when I knew what this was going to be about, it was well told. Especially with another almost twist before the third act.
So yeah this is quite flawed and predictable for many, but it is well made and edited. It lives off the actors and their charisma mostly - which is at least something I'd argue.

This is one of those movies where people make stupid mistakes/decisions and you find yourself screaming at the TV - stab him until his dead, pick up the knife, don't drop the gun, close/lock the door, wait until he's not home, take the damned bat, hurry up!
You get the picture.
We've all been there.
Oh, and the house was ugly AF.

I've seen some bad reviews that were gonna stop from watching this movie. But because i didn't wanna spend another 20 minutes looking for another one, i decided to watch it. And god, people are harsh on this one. It's definitely nothing new, predictable and we've watched a lot of movies like this. And yes, Pinta isn't the greatest actress. But it isn't that bad, I've seen much, much worse movies. I feel like reviewers are not fair and they lack argument. It did it's job by entertainning me and that's all i ask from this type of movies.
If I give a score below 5, it means the movie is a bad B movie. I gave this a 5 because it wasn't a B movie. It was a movie that had a good premise/idea, but didn't execute it very well. I lay most of the blame on script. The main guy in it is a good actor but one can only do so much with a script like that. First, they made his wife a dumb dumb. She was suspicious in the beginning when the guy was being the perfect husband and then when there were shady things, she suspicion went away until it was just too obvious something was going on. She found clues WAY to easily and found the secret room WAY too easily. She read the house blue prints as if she were a master architect. She broke into a car and found a an exact key she needed to open a mailbox later and broke into a house and found an envelope she needed. It was just done in a lazy way. This is what happens when streamers need content badly and they'll take anything. If you skip it, you won't miss anything.
Why are people always looking for something fresh and original? Ok, so it's not an Oscar winner but it's a decent thriller. So what if it's predictable? So what if it's been done before? Not every movie can be the next big thing. With the amount of crapy movies out there (and I mean real crap) it's just not that bad! Definitely doesn't deserve such low ratings! I enjoyed it. It was fine. Decent acting, good pace and an interesting (even if predictable) storyline. Yes, it's been done before but so what? If you're looking for the next big thing, don't watch it but if you want to kill an hour and a half and watch a decent thriller, give it a try.

I dont know why the fuss about it being predictable its a thriller not a mystery.. and thrill is always in the ride not the destination and this movies gives your a very good fast paced ride with its quick story telling.. All the cast performed their best Logan was as usual doing his best like his past performance in "The Invitation"..

As my header says it did completely catch me off guard. I was expecting just a standard home invasion thriller that you see a lot of, but it wasn't that at all. When the the home invasion happened so soon into the film it confused me how the film was going to go. I'm seeing a lot of bad reviews and people saying it was too predictable but that is complete lies. Unless they can see into the future there's no way they predicted how the film would go. In my opinion it's a really good thriller where you're on the edge of your seat and with quite a lot of jump scares, if that's your thing you will love it. Don't believe the bad reviews and give it a chance.

Movie lacked so much, it had potential but it seemed to disappoint. I don't get why it's the same content over and over again.. no different than other movies in same category. Not much explainations throughout movie, it was bogus!!
There's so many things that are wrong with it that the smartest advice is to redirect your movie time towards anything other than this!

Like music, every note that exists has been played million times over just moved or mixed around.
Movies fall into that also.. can always connect a link or similarity to something else.. doesn't mean it;s bad.. have seen worse with big budgets.. critics here want to be the 1st brainiac to spoil or micro manage every thing in a movie. Almost like it's the're job to chase u away from the movie with the're brilliant synopsis of been there/done that.. the worst review I can give a movie is I would not watch it again down the road.. once is enough but i will watch something i never saw regardless of the brilliant R. Eberts here.

Yes Netflix finally a well done entertaining thriller from you! After I couldn't sit through Sweet Girl from earlier this year I was happy to see that they kind of redeemed themselves with this production.
I saw it without knowing nothing about it or reading any reviews. Therefore I thought it was a straight up home invasion thriller which I like, but I quickly discovered it was more of a standard thriller. And it's good fun.
There are not a lot of reviews at the current moment, but I've seen two just calling this movie trash, one without presenting any arguments to why he or she found it to be that bad, and the other because it was 'predictable'.. Does that necessarily make a movie bad? Because I don't think so. Yes, it maybe is a little predictable but not AS predictable as some make it out to be. And I really don't think this movie set out to be groundbreaking in the thriller genre. I'd rather see a well produced and well acted thriller, that's not trying to break new grounds in the genre but is just a good and suspenseful ride, that a pretentious thriller that wants to be something that it is not with a complete confusing story line and bad actors. Intrusion maybe does not add anything new to the genre, but that seems to be the case of a lot of movies, and still it is just a fine thriller, and I didn't expect anything else.
This is not a masterpiece, but it is perfect as Sunday night entertainment. Freida Pinto is great as Meera, our protagonist but Logan Marshall-Green steals the show as Henry. It's kind of a cliché but by doing a little he's doing a lot. I really liked him in this one! He is far from a-list material yet, but having delivered so many solid performances in movies like The Invitation and Upgrade and now this one I believe he will get a lot more roles in way bigger productions made for the big screen in a few years!
The rest of the cast unfortunately isn't that great, and especially Detective Morse, portrayed by Robert John Burke is bland and really doesn't add anything to the story. But again the movie really centers mainly around the married couple so I was okay with that. Then there was a really forced scene that was there only to drive the plot forward, where Meera is watching the news at home while hosting a party that I found quite unbelievable. It's a little thing I know, but who turns on the news when they are having a big house party, when there's no particular reason for it? It was to obvious that the writers needed that. At last I didn't find the ending to be as exciting as I hoped for. It's not a big disappointment and there wasn't a lot of ways it could've ended, but it could've been done a little better.
So not a masterpiece but very entertaining and it ranks high amongst the recent Netflix Originals, although that's not saying a lot. If you are in it for a well done thriller to spend an hour and a half, I think you will find it fitting for just that. Either way, I think giving this movie a 1-star rating is just ridiculous..
I use to comment on the bad tendencies among a lot of reviewers here where they give 1 star to ok movies. It's very misleading and I think IMDb should have a bigger filter for taking out reviews that are not presenting any arguments besides "it's trash". When people go to the site for guidance towards good movies and the first they see is for a movie like this are three reviews giving this a 1-star rating without arguments they might miss out and thats a shame.
Intrusion is probably around 6.5 if you ask me. I recommend watching it without seeing the trailer. Enjoy.
Please rate fairly.

These low ratings, seriously, ignore. For something to be rated 1 to 3 stars, it would be barely watchable, and this was so muzzy better than that. This was a VERY good film. Maybe not the most original, maybe at times a little predictable, but really atmospheric and gripping.

Very predictable but still kind of entertaining. If you've got nothing to watch and want a few scares without much blood, give it a try. Not something you'd watch more then once.

I'm not sure if its the actresses fault (I have only seen her in Slumdog millionare) or if its the director who could not work out the best of Pinto but the result is, Pinto can't act at all, the other female character acted waay better then Pinto. Oh yes also, the story is trash. Its like a B-movie but with nice aesthetics. I watched it only for Logan but even he could not save this movie.

Albeit somewhat predictable, I enjoyed watching this film. Could have been a bit edgier and sinister to deepen the plot line... but overall a decent watch!
