Overview

Though no one can see him, Hollow Face lurks in the corners, desperately desiring love but only knowing how to spread fear and hate. He creeps into the life of John Farrow after Farrow’s beloved 13-year-old daughter Mia is assaulted in their home. The line between the real and the imaginary blurs as fissures start to open within the family unit. It seems that no security measure can keep Hollow Face out.

Gets disappointingly literal with what proves to be a goofy psychological story.

This is ... an intelligent, scary little movie. Because it's smart enough to know what's really scary is what's inside us.

Stephen Whitty, Newark Star-Ledger

"Intruders'' looks great and has a promising opening, but this atmospheric Spanish psychological thriller is otherwise pretty underwhelming.

Lou Lumenick, New York Post
Rotten

Why do so many horror movies that begin with promise fall apart in the final act?

James Berardinelli, ReelViews
Rotten

If you don't guess the big twist in the first 30 minutes, "Intruders" is half of a good movie. If you do, it's about a third of a good movie.

Amy Biancolli, San Francisco Chronicle
