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.

Rated: 1.5/4

Chicago Sun-Times

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.

Rated: 3/4

Austin Chronicle

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

Rated: 3/5

Screen Rant

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

Rated: 4/10

For whatever the movie lacks in traditional structure, it more than makes up for in suspense.

[Invader is] so small-scaled, and so aggressively frenetic, that it succeeds in its much more modest aims. Clocking in at barely 70 minutes, it’s a brisk, merciless exercise, not so much a narrative film as a sensory experience.

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 .

Shaky cam from have foot away. Feels like a half baked shot for 3k student film. So bad on so many levels. The 99% fresh is hilarious. 99% rotten and dysmal.
