Point-by-Point: Intruders - 4/10


A ghost (or something) named Hollow Face goes after two kids in different parts of the world that are both writing about him for some reason. It seems to do the usual ghost stuff, but, as in apparently every modern supernatural thriller, all is not what it seems.

The Good: The director gives us a nice looking movie, and all the actors do a decent job.

The Bad: Really dull. The shifting between two stories might have been interesting if handled better, but it ends up feeling like two forgettable scripts tied together so you can have something movie-length.

The Ugly: The special effects are rather rough.

Points Pondered

-I'm glad the cat made it.

-Did anyone think that Clive Owen's co-worker would grab those parts he needed without incident? Anyone?

-"We were just playing" is really a poor excuse for creating an impromptu bonfire in your yard.

-Was there any reason for this to be rated R? I mean, if you cut the one brief nude shot and (maybe) some of the language, you've got an easy PG-13.
