1.5/4

The best thing about “Invader” is that it’s short. But for much of its 69-minute runtime, it is thoroughly unpleasant, which makes it feel much longer.

3/4

Writer-director Keating knows how to deliver the goods in lean fashion, with “Invader” clocking in at just 70 minutes and ending on a fantastically creepy note of utter dread.

3/5

At a raw and rare 70 minutes, Invader is Keating challenging himself to deliver the leanest, sparest home invasion imaginable.

4/5

Invader‘s a disturbing snapshot of violence that contains commentary deeply relevant to where America is politically right now.

Keating’s crack at home invasion horror works to deliver his usual dose of anxiety—just maybe not in quite the same way or place we have come to expect.

4/10

Despite a taut story and intense atmosphere, Invader doesn't offer much interesting commentary nor memorable characters to round out its tension.

wow, really liked the filming style, the trashed house. comes together at the end. honestly, not my kind of film. just too depressing and disturbing. too much like real horrible crimes that you read about in the news. hard to watch. it does say something about the brutal nature of humanity, but also about the compassion. many levels, but quite gritty.

I could only make it 10 minutes so not sure how the actual story goes the rest of the way. My audience all voted to turn it off because of the horrible filming “style.” Too much jerkiness and shaking made it a tough one to get through. One guest said they’re getting dizzy another said they might puke! Could have been worth watching if it had a normal camera viewing. They should have at least had a warning before it started that it could cause seizures…

If I could change the name of the movie I would name it .All the stupid things you shouldn’t do when a killer is after you . It left me with the question of why this movie has so many good reviews?Nothing made sense ,a killer that got shot and bleeds like a gallon of blood but is still alive to ran away ? Pure garbage .
