What to Know

Critics Consensus

The Intruder might appeal to fans of shout-at-the-screen cinema, but this thriller's ludicrous plot robs it of suspense -- and undermines Dennis Quaid's suitably over-the-top performance.

It's fun! Is it brilliant or groundbreaking? No. Go to Full Review
Elena Lazic Little White Lies 07/29/2019
3/5
The Intruder succeeds in making this scenario less blatantly paranoid and misanthropic than it often appears... It also helps that Quaid, showing remarkable dedication to the role, jumps effortlessly between magnanimous old fool and evil. Go to Full Review
Bilge Ebiri New York Magazine/Vulture 05/13/2019
Iit's high time Quaid truly embraced the role of a real horror-movie psycho, and the key pleasure of... The Intruder lies in watching the actor bounce among extremes of charm, anxiety, chumminess, and madness. Go to Full Review

Engin O 07/21/2023 One of the dumbest movies I’ve seen in a long time See more BIG D Aug 21 The beginning scene says it all. A black neighbor knocks on the door and the black guy can't act at all---with that, the movie sucks. They should have gotten a new actor for the part. It continues on with this black guys horrible acting and the more horrible acting by the main character and then black guys white wife---damn this movie sucks. I couldn't make it past the dinner scene and now the rest of you don't have to. See more Germ G Jan 12 This entire movie was ridiculous honestly I gotta say though, the one star is how great the movie is at tensing people up and all the actors were really killing it See more Neil V Jan 10 Dumb movie characters. Get your phone and then..... what. let's take a selfie. What a waste. See more Russell H 10/18/2024 Dennis Quaid was amazing. Tense throughout See more Georgan G 04/26/2024 Better than I thought it would be, but such an obvious plot that the suspense was only vague. See more Read all reviews
