Two children, one in Spain and the other in England, are terrorized by a hooded, faceless phantom that has seemingly sprung from the pages of the horror stories they wrote. The creature, called Hollow Face, appears nightly above the bed of young Juan (Izán Corchero), leading his mother to seek help from a priest (Daniel Brühl). Meanwhile, British girl Mia (Ella Purnell) watches as Hollow Face creeps out of her closet and attacks, while her father (Clive Owen) is helpless to defend her.

Critics Consensus

Intruders has a fantastic first act but then settles into a bland plot and scare tactics that aren't all too scary.

Monsters and psychology work well together. The film is pretty good at stitching the stories together with a little bit of supernatural. I liked.

Otra película de terror que no goza de ser lo mejor del genero, con una buena actuación de Clive Owen y solo eso, se pierde en su propia historia.

There's some cool visuals and ideas here, but overall it's just a confusing, muddled mess.

Snooze-fest. I wasn't captured. I kept reaching for my phone. The only reason I saw it through, even after the horrid first 15 mins, was because I had hope that the last act could salvage the horse shit the movie was. Underwhelming is an understatement. The CGI was almost as bad as ‘From a House on Willow Street' or something like that. Don't watch this movie. It sucks.

this movie is not scary at all. The plot is apparently divided in two and tells the story of two different children tormented by the same monster, who is non-existent because he is a person or a suggestion. The only thing I think is positive is the final twist

Intruders was either the victim of reshoots and postproduction meddling or it desperately needed some.

Gets disappointingly literal with what proves to be a goofy psychological story.

Joins the crowded subgenre of childhood boogeyman scare-fests that fail to find the spine-tingling power of what we think may be under the bed.

Deep Focus Review

Aside from Owen and Van Houten, who both have natural presence, there’s nothing here except dissatisfaction and ridicule waiting in the shadows.

Rated: 1/4

I honestly don't believe the third act conclusion to the story makes very much sense at all.

You'll find that the only intrusion is on your time and money spent on this ill-conceived effort.
