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.

Tim Cogshell FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles) It's fun! Is it brilliant or groundbreaking? No. Sep 28, 2019 Full Review Elena Lazic Little White Lies 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. Rated: 3/5 Jul 29, 2019 Full Review Bilge Ebiri New York Magazine/Vulture 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. May 13, 2019 Full Review Paul Lê Nightmare on Film Street The Intruder is a passable blend of dated home invasion thrillers and stalker movies. Rated: 5/10 Jul 20, 2023 Full Review Kate Boyle InSession Film I think with some editing this movie could have been a decent thriller, but ultimately it failed. Rated: C- Mar 8, 2023 Full Review Dolores Quintana Dolores Quintana THE INTRUDER is crazy in a way that it really needs to be an unabashedly and whole-heartedly committed to its particular brand of madness.

Engin O One of the dumbest movies I’ve seen in a long time Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 07/21/23 Full Review Russell H Dennis Quaid was amazing. Tense throughout Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/18/24 Full Review Georgan G Better than I thought it would be, but such an obvious plot that the suspense was only vague. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 04/26/24 Full Review Olamide s I hate the storyline Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/08/24 Full Review Steve D Its maniac is the only thing memorable Rated 2 out of 5 stars 11/06/23 Full Review Mark K The movie is OK, however, very unrealistic as far as how normal people would handle "the intruder"!
