Critics Consensus

The Owners will prove excessively mean-spirited and over the top for some, but should be just pulpy enough for genre enthusiasts up for some home-invasion thrills.

Donald Clarke

Irish Times

Williams and her contemporaries are excellent. The senior actors do, however, steal the show. It's lovely to see both having such a disreputably good time.

Rated: 3/5

Leslie Felperin

Guardian

Berg, who has worked mostly in French TV and makes his feature debut here, has a knack for ratcheting up suspense and finessing the technicalities in order to maximise the creepiness.

Rated: 3/5

Anton Bitel

Sight & Sound

From this chaotic clash between different classes and generations, a genre-distorted picture emerges of contemporary Britain where property is in the hands of senior citizens, and the have-nots are forced to keep living with their elders.

While The Owners is not a bad movie, it is not one that I can recommend. Beyond the cool, sensational, prurient violent factor, it fails to create a seamless story that resonates on a clear, deep level.

The Owners is a strange oddity, curiously unhinged but entirely forgettable.

You never know what’s going on behind closed doors, The Owners tells its audience and, for your own sake, you really don’t want to find out.

The Owners is a fairly decent Thriller / Horror. Well lead by a cast including Maisie Williams and Syvester McCoy (yes, one of the 'old' Doctor Who's), the movie certainly amps up the tension as the plot unfolds. Certainly well worth watching for those who like gritty thrillers with a few twists and turns.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

It's like a cheap Brit version of Don't Breathe with a terrible ending.

Yes, it's bad in the end. It has a good premise, but not well maintained and off the rails half way

La película es verdad que deja unos cabos sueltos o preguntas sin responder pero aún así la recomiendo, no te esperas lo que pasa y de verdad como fan del género me dejo estrangulando a la almohada por los nervios. No está mal

Olha o que tem de melhor neste filme são as atuações dos dois atores idosos, e é isso que leva as 2 estrelas, porque do resto foi uma decepção. Achei que o roteiro poderia seguir para qualquer linha, mas não ficar numa mesmice de clichês e motivos rasos.

Rated 2 out of 5 stars
