Sure she's blonde and attractive. Helpless, nubile, half-crazy, and vulnerable. Then add men to the mix. Men! Brutes! Misogynists! Those awful grunting would-be hunks. Can a beautiful and vulnerable blonde survive this recipe? Even worse, our babe is agoraphobic...leaving her house is not an option. She's that vulnerable! Our feature today is 2015's "Intruders," directed by Adam Schindler.
Anna (Beth Riesgraf) is our aforementioned babe agoraphobic. Something buried deep in her past has gave her this psychological disorder. As the film begins she is tending to her cancer-ridden brother (Timothy McKinney)...but he'll die. Now Anna is alone and unable to exit her front door. A kindly milquetoast delivery guy, Dan (Rory Culkin) brings her her meals and cheers her up everyday. Uh oh, the day of the funeral arrives, and Anna gets all dolled up in black. Yep...you guessed it. She's too afraid to actually leave the house to attend her brother's funeral. Three brutes, who read obituaries, figure Anna's house will be vacant and show up. They break in to rob the place and find Anna. JP (Jack Kesy), his brother Vance (Joshua Mikela), and the pure psycho Perry (Martin Starr) soon find Anna, beat her up, duct tape her, and try to get her to tell them where all the money is. They also figure out she is agoraphobic.
Now Nora figures these three baddies do not plan to let her live. They use one another's names and do not wear masks. Nora gets free from her binds and the chase throughout the house in on again. Uh oh! Anna is hardly who the three brutes figured she was. Now the three brutes are on the run and they are not faring well. Anna has secrets and so does the house. The real reason why Anna is agoraphobic is revealed and it is horrific. It may also spell the doom for these three intruders. Gore, torture, rape, blood, and depraved motives rule the second half of this film. Not the feel good film of 2015, but still a brutal horror yarn.
Are all blonde babes in reality closet psychos? Will we still be cheering for the nubile Anna even after she turns predator? Is there hope that whatever Anna has planned for the three intruders, will cure her of her agoraphobia? This is a good one and quite ominous at times. Who is a good guy and who is a monster is separated by a blurred line in this film. See "Intruders" and rethink who the real villains are in our society.
