Inés works as a dubbing actress and sings in a choir in Buenos Aires. After a traumatic experience during a holiday trip, she develops a sleep disorder and starts suffering from very vivid nightmares. At work, the studio microphones pick up strange sounds coming from her body, threatening her career and her singing. Inés becomes paranoid as she has increasing trouble telling what is real from what is not. She begins to entertain a dangerous idea: the characters in her dreams are trying to take over her body.

Meta is a talented director and I am excited for what she does next, but The Intruder just doesn't fire on all cylinders.

"The Intruder" generates so much intrigue to maintain a breathless pace and unsettling atmosphere at every turn, with Rives' layered performance fusing the strange trip together.

Rated: B+

Variety

An oddly flavorless supernatural psycho-thriller from sophomore Argentinian director Natalia Meta.

Cool People Have Feelings, Too. (Substack)

Anchored by a stunning performance from Erica Rivas.

Vague Visages

This humorous touch is indicative of what Meta seems interested in, but perhaps unable to commit to.

Flick Feast

Similar to a dubbing over the original track, The Intruder is an unwelcome and pale imitation of the genre it tried to evoke.

Rated: 2/5
